This hardback bundle gathers six of Biesty's most celebrated cutaway titles, each one slicing through a subject—warships, castles, and the human body—to reveal how it's built and how it works. Oversized illustrations packed with labeled detail turn dense technical subjects into an engrossing visual adventure. A bonus poster book extends six of the artworks onto wall-worthy prints. Perfect for curious kids, classrooms, and fans of DK's landmark nonfiction, this set makes learning feel like exploring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStephen Biesty made his name by taking a scalpel to the everyday and the extraordinary, slicing objects and structures open on the page so readers can trace every gear, girder, and beam. This six-book hardback collection brings together the fullest range of his work for DK, spanning naval history, medieval architecture, human anatomy, and an ever-expanding miscellany of machines and marvels. In Cross-Sections Man-of-War, an 18th-century sailing warship is peeled open deck by deck, exposing rigging, cannon, and the crew who kept it running. Cross-Sections Castle does the same for a 14th-century stone fortress, unpacking its defenses, kitchens, and living quarters. More Incredible Cross-Sections and Incredible Cross-Sections of Everything broaden the lens further, tackling an eclectic mix of vehicles, buildings, and inventions with the same forensic detail. Incredible Body Cross-Sections turns Biesty's eye inward, mapping the systems and structures inside the human body, while Incredible Cross-Sections closes the set with another sweep of Biesty's signature cutaway artwork. Across all six titles, factual captions sit alongside sprawling illustrations, rewarding readers who like to linger over a page and follow a single line from cover to cargo hold. The included poster book lets six of the most striking spreads live on a wall as ongoing references. Assembled together, this collection captures a body of work that has introduced readers to engineering, history, and biology without ever feeling like a textbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix full-length hardback titles from Biesty's celebrated cross-section series in one boxed collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a bonus poster book featuring six large, wall-ready illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers naval history, castle architecture, human anatomy, and everyday machines in a single set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed gatefold-style cutaway artwork makes complex systems easy to follow at a glance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA durable hardback format built to withstand repeat reading in classrooms and at home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA ready-made gift for birthdays, holidays, or building out a home or classroom library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCross-Sections Man-of-War — Cuts open an 18th-century sailing warship deck by deck to show rigging, cannon, and crew at work.\u003cbr\u003e\nCross-Sections Castle — Slices through a 14th-century stone castle to reveal its defenses, kitchens, and living quarters.\u003cbr\u003e\nMore Incredible Cross-Sections — Expands the series with additional cutaway views across a wide range of structures and machines.\u003cbr\u003e\nIncredible Cross-Sections of Everything — Widens the scope to an eclectic miscellany of vehicles, buildings, and inventions.\u003cbr\u003e\nIncredible Body Cross-Sections — Turns the cutaway treatment inward to map the systems and structures of the human body.\u003cbr\u003e\nIncredible Cross-Sections — Rounds out the set with another collection of Biesty's signature illustrated cutaways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStephen Biesty is a British illustrator best known for the intricately detailed cutaway and cross-section artwork he created for DK across this celebrated nonfiction series.
