Synopsis

The 400 pages of this book and 800 or so illustrations form a series of excursions into the many realms of knowledge at the Deutsches Museum. Accompanying the reader through the various sections of the museum, its branch museums, archives, storage depots and other facilities are texts by 35 authors, all specialists in their fields. A range of reader-friendly elements and an attractive navigational guide highlight the wealth of special features at the museum, while an A-to-Z section contains useful information and tips for visitors. Arranged according to storeys - from the basement to the sixth floor - each of the 50 specialist fields gets its own chapter, such as "Shipping: bridges between continents", "Aviation: the dream of human flight becomes reality", "Chronometry: from big bang to nanoseconds" and "Astronomy: understanding the heavens". Each chapter opens with a short introduction to help the reader get to grips with the subject matter and its history, followed by a richly illustrated "tour of the exhibition" with a well-structured text and relevant headings. Detailed layouts guide visitors throughout the museum.
