DK : Stephen Biesty's Cross-Sections Man-of-War

Look inside an 18th-century warship as it sails into battle on the high seas. Packed with extraordinary illustrations, this history book for children covers everything from warship design to navigation.  Biesty #39;s incredible drawings slice through a man-of-war to explore every corner, from the crow #39;s nest to the stinking hold. Packed with fascinating facts and gory details, the pages teem with sailors busy about their duties. Find out how gun crews fired a cannon, examine a surgeon #39;s toolkit, and learn the best way to wriggle the maggots out of the ship #39;s biscuits. Look out, too, for the stowaway on every page. He #39;s the one with spiky hair and there #39;s a reward for his capture! This absorbing book will have children - and adults - poring over every page. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Stephen Biesty #39;s Cross-Sections Man-of-War remains as entertaining as ever.
