Open Circuits is a photographic exploration of the beautiful design inside everyday electronics. Its stunning cross-section photography unlocks a hidden world full of elegance, subtle complexity, and wonder. Our 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, Open Circuits reveals the surprising—and often accidental—beauty hiding inside the electronic components that drive our everyday devices. From 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. Open Circuits has something for everyone to appreciate, whether you’re a seasoned electrical engineer, an amateur tinkerer, or simply a lover of art and photography.

Encyclopedia of electronics
Every electronic component (almost) has been well defined, in text and with cross sectional images for better understanding. A must have book for people who want to learn about electronics in our day to day life. Cost appears little high, but worth it.

Just. Get. It!
Despite having a background in electronics development, both academic and professional, "Open Circuits" introduced me to a new world of electronic components - their inner workings. On over 300 pages, the book combines high quality photographs exposing what's inside resistors, cables, microchips etc with a few words of additional infos. It's not to be seen as a technical reference but as a work of art, revealing the hidden beauty slumbering inside everything carrying electrons around you. Until now, every friend of mine has been fascinated about it, regardless of technical background. I loved it so much, I couldn't resist gifting a second one to my former teacher to present his students in class :) This book is pure gold!
