Praise for the Scientific American Library Paperback Powers of Ten 'Dazzling' Publishers Weekly 'A brilliant pictorial and textual embodiment of a wonderful idea' Stephen Jay Gould Based on the best-selling classic Powers of Ten , this magnificent journey begins one billion light years away, with every two pages representing a view ten times larger than the view two pages earlier. As readers flip through the pages, they will descend the dimensions of the the universe, through our solar system down to a park on earth, then into the human body, its cells, DNA and finally a single proton. A fun and compact visual odyssey, The Powers of Ten flipbook shows us not only the relative size of things in the known universe, but also our place in it.

If you like Eames, mathematics, outerspace you'll love this flipbook. You flip the pages and zoooom from the milky way through the solar system, into earth and ultimately into an atom in a man's hand.
Beautiful color images.

This picture book is an excellent pictorial view of the miniscule to the enormous. Very Interesting! Mathematics and science teachers at all levels should have this book in their classrooms. I can't wait to show my Algebra and Mathematics Laboratory students. On the other hand, this book would be interesting for anyone having interest in Science, Astronomy, Mathematics, and Measurement.

This is surely the biggest selling -- and best -- flipbook for several decades. I have designed a new means of speed control for flipbooks. I'm also working on a Green Earth video website. Guess what: I lived in Seattle from 1975 to 2001 -- uh, I be 73!

POWERS OF TEN, A FLIP BOOK.
THE FLIP BOOK VERSION OF THIS BOOK IS NOT AS SATISFACTORY AS THE ORIGINAL FULL SIZE BOOK. I CONFESS THAT WHEN I BOUGHT IT RECENTLY I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING THE ORIGINAL. Read more

A physics professor showed our class the Powers of Ten film years ago and it blew my mind. The whole "as above so below" element still resonates with me today. Read more

Flip out
I flipped out with this very small book - not at all what I expected and way overpriced. The original book was a treat for the eyes - not a second rate fuzzy copy.
