Synopsis

Taking the reader on an eye-opening journey through the circuitry of a microchip, round the innards of an electric guitar, and into the human intestine with a miniature camera. How Cool Stuff Works shows and explains - in brilliantly visual and easy-to-understand way - exactly how the technology that shapes our world works.
Cleverly employed photographic techniques get straight to the heart of the key principles behind each appliance, invention, or system. X-rays reveal the mechanics of a motorbike, SEMs take an ultra-close look at the structure of a safety match, schlieren images expose the secrets of a wind tunnel, exploded views take apart a kinetic-energy watch, and cross-sections uncover the internal parts of digital cameras. These images strip back the objects to their inner essentials, dissecting them for the reader to study, understand, and marvel.
Learn about the science behind every machine and gadget, and find out when and how things were invented - from the radio and refrigerator to the rapid rise of digital technology.
