X-rays: A Child's Eye View

One of the most rewarding projects Nick has been involved with in recent times is the publication of a book of his X-rays, produced in collaboration with the Science Museum in London. The book, entitled X-treme X-ray is published for children and serves as a fantastic introduction to the incredible power of X-ray radiation. As the jacket says:

"ARE YOU READY FOR A WHOLE NEW WAY OF SEEING? THROUGH SOLID WALLS? THROUGH METAL CASING? EVEN THROUGH SKIN?

Then enter the world of X-treme X-ray, where nothing is as it seems. See through the surface of a computer to the microchips and working parts within. Explore the many bones of a human skeleton in action. Turn bats and spiders inside out and discover a wealth of fascinating facts along the way."

X-treme X-ray has 48 pages of Nick's pictures and is packed with well-researched facts about the subjects making it an extremely informative book as well as being visually intriguing and exciting.

X-treme X-ray is published by Carlton Books at £9.99 and is available from the Science Museum and at a wealth of bookshops both good, bad and indifferent.
