Ultimate Book of Cross-sections 3 reviews
DK Publishing
DK CHILDREN, 1996
Inspires the not so avid reader to sit down and browse...
My 10 yr. old son brought this book home from the library and loved it. The graphics are second to none and the labels and short captioned boxes of text encouraged him to read several excerpts. The broad range of equipment covered is intriguing even to an adult. It is educational for the young reader to identify vehicles they've read about in school but never visualized. This book will be ...

The Coolest Cross-Sections Ever!3 reviews
Richard Platt, Stephen Biesty
DK CHILDREN, 2001
A book we go back to again and again!
The age range of 9-12 for this book is too narrow. It is a favorite among ALL of our family members! With a book store gift card in hand, our newly-turned five-year-old picked this book himself above all others to bring home... and it has remained a favorite of his a year and a half later. Mom and Dad even enjoy pouring over this book with him WHENEVER he asks, and we have all learned a lot. ...

Incredible Cross-sections of Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace: The Definitive Guide to the Craft31 reviews
David West Reynolds, Hans Jenssen, ...
A definate for vehicle lovers!
I always wanted to see more and to be able to look inside of the vehicles more closely, and this book provides that information (and more more) in great detail. I really like the mini illustrations of where in the vehicles that events from the movies took place, it helps to "put a name to a face".

Incredible Cross-sections of Star Wars, Episode II - Attack of the Clones: The Definitive Guide to the Craft12 reviews
Curtis Saxton
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2002
Another great cross section book for Star Wars
I just recently received this book and all I can say is that it's the bomb! The pages are full of intricate details about both the vehicles and story of Episode II. The foldout of the Republic Dropship is definitely a highlight of the series. If you like Star Wars and want to know more than you can possibly imagine about Star Wars engineering, pick this book up right away.

Edgar L. Feige
Prentice Hall, 1964
Brilliant!
This groundbreaking analysis by one of the foremost economists of our generation remains as trenchant today as it was when it won the Ford Foundation award back in 1964. A must read!

Jets (Look Inside Cross Sections)1 review
DK Publishing
DK CHILDREN, 1996
Surprisingly fun for kids of all ages!
I found this book to be too full of information to be a comfortable bedtime book, but my four year old son didn't seem to mind my skipping the words and just ooh-ing and aah-ing over the illustrations with him. My son also preferred my reading of it over his father's, because dad would get so absorbed in each page that he would forget to turn the pages! My son especially loved being able to ...

Man-Of-War : Stephen Biesty's Cross-Sections9 reviews
Stephen Biesty
DK CHILDREN, 1993
An exceptionally fine book that can delight young and old
Dorling Kindersley has in the past twenty years quickly established itself as an outstanding publisher of niche books--children's reference books, travel guides, atlases, and the such. What I find so remarkable about a number of their children's books is how enormously satisfying they are for adults as well, even adults who are fairly familiar with the subject matter. One of the better series ...

Stewart Ross
Oxford University Press, 2007
Stephen Biesty's glorious cross-sections take us on a journey down the Nile
The premise of "Egypt: In Spectacular Cross-Section," which features the captivating artwork of Stephen Biesty, is that eleven-year-old Dedia and his father, Captain Wennufer, undertake a 39-day journey down the Nile River during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses the Great in the year 1230 B.C.E. Officially Ramses II, he is commonly believed to be the pharaoh of the Exodus, although this is in ...

Look Inside Cross-Sections Space1 review
Moira Butterfield
Bt Bound, 1999
Lots of detail on 12 different spacecraft
As with other DK books in the "cross-section" series, the illustrations are drawn with parts missing so we can peer inside and see what is going on. Twelve spacecraft are featured. Lots of detail and tidbits of information are learned. My 3 year-old son is into a space phase and he sits absorbed looking at this book for up to an hour. A wonderful book to keep in the car so the child can look at ...

An efficient HZETRN: (a galactic cosmic ray transport code) (NASA technical paper)1 review
Judy L Shinn
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Office of Management, Scientific and Technical Information Program, 1992
Prior Roger and the Brown Paper Envelope
The booklet could have been called Prior Roger and the Brown Paper Envelope. For anyone following the course of recent Irish political life, with its favours done to "friends", its general openness to corruption and the high life enjoyed by the great and the powerful, it provides a salutary lesson that nothing much has changed. It was all going on in the fourteenth century, much of it happening ...

Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data 14 reviews
Jeffrey M. Wooldridge
The MIT Press, 2001
The missing link for cross section, panel data and program evaluation
This book fills a real gap for those who are interested in things like ATE, ATET and topics related to impact evaluation that are only talked about now in research papers. The explanations are very very clear and they walk you through the thinking process by which the different methods were developed. Of course, it has the traditional coverage of panel data and cross section but with the clarity ...

Neutron Cross Sections (Neutron cross sections series)1 review
Victoria McLane
Academic Press Inc, 1988
The most complete neutron cross sections review
This book has the most complete compilation of neutron total cross sections presently available. It would be advisable that the world wide neutron users community have it in its libraries, because it contains information that is usually out of the scope of the large Neutron Centers, and frequently forgotten

U.S. 40: Cross Section of The United States of America1 review
George Rippey Stewart
Greenwood Press Reprint, 1973
An interesting photographic record of places on US 40 (1949
This is another of the "follow the old road" books and gives much insight to the history of predecessor roads as well as the conditions of the highway circa 1949-1950. Although the old US 40 signs are fast disappearing, the book will help you find the old segments off the interstates.

Richard Orr
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 1995
Amazing insights!
Just sooo much to see in this book! The many pages of verymeticulous, beautiful illustrations leave hardly any square inch onwhich there are not amazing details to discover. Concise descriptions make it even more fun to learn about all the animals. The book is beautifully laid out and printed. The many fold-out pages have to be handled with care, though. We enjoy this book again and again! END

Worth it for the extras!!!
I purchased this book just for the extra cutaways! I had a few of the others, but this one was worth it to me as I am a fan of the first set of films and characters and this book had more ships from ROTJ that were unavailable before. Really cool and to me, completely worth it. They added the A-Wing and the B-wing among others. forget the individual books, just get this one, especially if you are ...

Exploring the Yellowstone Backcountry: A Guide to the Hiking Trails of Yellowstone with Additional Sections ...4 reviews
Orville E Jr Bach
Random House, Inc., 1992
Yellowstone Yes
This is the best trails book for any of the mountain states national parks. I have not found a book for Glacier or Rocky Mountain National parks as good as this book. The Kent and Donna Dannen guide to RMNP comes close. This book may look as if it is for backpackers, but it has lots of info for day hikes, too.
