One of the better series ...             Quest for the Lost City of Gold1 review Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2007 Quest for Knowledge! How do you capture the imagination of children when it comes to ancient treasures and historic sites? National Geographic videos are fine. PBS specials are well done, but slanted. Short of touring the world on an unlimited budget, you can't do much. Stephen Biesty has developed a method that leads young readers into the world of ancient wonders. If you remember "Fraggle Rock" and Uncle ...             Egypt in Spectacular Cross-section1 review Stewart Ross Oxford University Press, 2007 Stephen Biesty's glorious cross-sections take us on a journey down the Nile The premise of "Egypt: In Spectacular Cross-Section," which features the captivating artwork of Stephen Biesty, is that eleven-year-old Dedia and his father, Captain Wennufer, undertake a 39-day journey down the Nile River during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses the Great in the year 1230 B.C.E.

He is great at drawing buildings and is great about knowing everything that is going on in his pictures. My favorite buildings in his book are the ones in water and the ones with lakes in them. My most favorite one of all is Caernarfon Castle from 1320." He takes this book to bed with him and examines each page very carefully.             Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections8 reviews Stephen; Platt, Richard Biesty Alfred a Knopf Inc, 1992 Absolutely Fascinating!! I found a copy of this book in a hospital x-ray waiting area. I could have spent hours poring over it. The cross-sections include a castle, a space shuttle, an observatory, a subway, a cathedral, and more. We see so little of what is around us and this book offers a hugely expanded view. It's like being used to seeing the tip of the iceberg and suddenly seeing the whole iceberg.

I really think this is one of the best of the series, too.
