Its stunning cross-section photography unlocks a hidden world full of elegance, subtle complexity, and wonder.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOur phones, computers, and appliances are made of hundreds of internal components, each precisely engineered to perform a certain function, but none intended to actually be seen. Through painstakingly executed, vividly detailed cross-section photography, \u003ci\u003eOpen Circuits\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the surprising--and often accidental--beauty hiding inside the electronic components that drive our everyday devices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom resistors to LEDs, USB cables to headphone jacks, stepper motors to nixie tubes, the book's arresting imagery transforms more than 130 components into delightful works of art. As you visually dissect the components' insides, you'll learn about how they work and how they were made. \u003ci\u003eOpen Circuits\u003c\/i\u003e has something for everyone to appreciate, whether you're a seasoned electrical engineer, an amateur tinkerer, or simply a lover of art and photography.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Schlaepfer\u003c\/b\u003e runs the popular engineering Twitter account @TubeTimeUS, where he posts cross section photos, discusses retrocomputing and reverse engineering, and investigates engineering accidents.
