Charles and Ray Eames’s Powers of Ten makes a welcome return, this time as
a flip book. Like the famous eponymous film, each point of view is 10 times
smaller or larger than the one before. The central focus is a human hand, so
flick through from the back and you travel dizzingly from a close-up of a single
protein to the sleeping picnicker’s hand, then fly out to the ends of the
Universe…and back. Can’t stop. Brilliant. Published by Eames Office/W. H.
Freeman, £9.95, ISBN 0716734419.
