Technology explored, explained and exploded

Widescreen TVs, mobile phones, even space rockets have turned what was once outlandish into the everyday. But how do they actually function? What are the secrets behind this science? And what would they look like if you could delve right into the heart of their insides?

Let your child delve into a host of inventions, objects and gadgets to explore the ways they work. Incredible `exploded' images and huge fold-out pages reveal their components in fantastic detail, showing what each device does and how it does it.

There's also an ingenious CD-ROM where children can interact with 3D animations that show the latest gadgets exploding before their eyes. Technology has never been cooler!
