The unexpected beauty of taking everyday objects apart

The updated edition features 20 new teardowns of technology and mechanical products, arranged first by size then by intricacy. There's an AC unit and a gas meter, a ceiling fan and a cassette tape, but also a 3D printer, an ECG machine and a brand new Amazon Echo.
