Review
The "Cool Stuff" in the title refers to things like digital cameras, cell phones, and watches. The "Exploded" part refers to how the insides of those things are represented in the book. Everyday things are not the only things "exploded" in the book. Exotic items such as fuel cell cars, sonic washers, and Flexi phones are also on the list. Some of you may be thinking...it would REALLY be cool if they would animate the "explosion." Well, the author thought of that and included a CD with fifteen animated "energetic disassembly" of the items from the book. --Rainy Day Magazine
