About this title

Synopsis:

With the help of three-dimensional models built by experts in museums, animation studios and industry, this book explains just how structures such as windmills and jet engines work. Accompanying text and annotation show exactly how these structures fit together and what they do.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 5-8. Reflecting the distinctive DK format, this series presents photographed cross-sections of three-dimensional models. Incredible Earth offers clear diagrams and cutaway drawings that explain the Earth's structure, wind and water patterns, earthquakes, volcanoes, geysers, glaciers, the arctic, the ocean floor, coral reefs, seaside cliffs, waterfalls and caves, flood plains, and deserts. Wilkinson explains the construction of Super Structures such as a skyscraper, a theater complex, the Chunnel, a 2808-foot bridge, a dam, a roller coaster, a super airport, a multilayer freeway, a nuclear reactor, and an ocean-based oil drilling rig. Mario Salvadori's The Art of Construction (Chicago Review, 1990), Ray Spangenburg and Diane Moser's "Connecting a Continent" series (Facts on File), and David Macaulay's Underground (Houghton, 1976) offer more in-depth information about construction techniques. Both of these new titles will be enjoyed by interested browsers and the diagrams will be useful for research.?Dorcas Hand, Annunciation Orthodox School, Houston
