Cross section cravings
-
Help me find cross section posters and books. I am looking for books and posters which display exploded cross sections of various technologies (airplanes, spacecraft, machines). For reference, I am a fan of Stephen Biesty's books, so anything in that vein will satisfy my cravings. Bonus points if anyone can tell me how to get copies of United Technologies' cross-section advertisements.

Clearly you need anything by David Macaulay. It's not 100% cross-section, but surely the histories and free-body diagrams are bonuses? You may be interested in http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0395329205/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0395938473/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/*, or others. (Also, even though it has nothing to do with cross-sections, you should not overlook the delightful http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0395284252/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/, where archaeologists rediscover an American town hundreds of years after a, um, man-made disaster (no spoilers by me!), and their interpretations of our culture.) *if you can be bothered, find a copy of the old version instead of The New Way... which has more electronic stuff in it
