Detailed cross-sections show how things fit together and function. Good for both architecture and mechanics lovers.

Roman Diary: The Journal of Iliona of Mytilini… door Richard Platt

This looks like an unusual book. First of all, it's enormous. Second of all, it manages to be a little gruesome even though it's cartoony. Even though it's a fictional story, it seems like the kind of thing a kid could use for a report on ancient Rome. There's a whole section of historical notes and a bibliography in the back.

Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections door Richard Platt

I was so very obsessed with this book as a kid. Oddly, one of the parts I remember most vividly was checking out what all the little people were doing. And the soldier whose intestines were hanging out in the tank cross section, of course. Biesty really knows how to appeal to kids.

I'd love to reread this as an adult.
