Book Description

October 1998
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really cool, January 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Powers of Ten: A Flipbook (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Concept & Motivation Book for Teachers & Students, July 27, 1999

This review is from: Powers of Ten: A Flipbook (Paperback)
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 review is from: Powers of Ten: A Flipbook (Paperback)
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!
