解狂、機械狂的必備聖經！
相信許多人小時候都有因為好奇把時鐘拆開，最後卻組不回去的經驗，機械的精巧以及演進，小至手錶、大至交通工具，一直都讓人嘆為觀止。
多倫多知名攝影師Todd McLellan將五十件經典物品拆解，拍下在空中爆破後的模樣，接著將所有零件一個一個擺設出來，組成一張精采的照片，精彩絕倫、堪稱拆解狂、機械狂的必備聖經！
第一版出版後受到廣大讀者歡迎，在第二版中特別收錄了新的五件物品，包括世界知名的機械產品，從數位單眼相機、壁爐架座鐘、espresso咖啡機、iPad到大型的鋼琴、腳踏車等，在這些照片中所有零件都一覽無遺，更是讓人讚嘆工藝技術的發展。
另外加入了介紹文章，以及其他拆解後修復的例子，從歷史上來看機械的發展，一探經典機械的耐用和典雅，也藉此了解，就算是再複雜、先進的現代機器，都可以被拆解、了解其中的結構，然後再被重新組裝。
In Things Come Apart, fifty design classics―arranged by size and intricacy―are beautifully displayed, piece by piece, exploding in midair and dissected in real-time, frame-by-frame video stills. Welcome to Todd McLellan’s unique photographic vision of the material world.
The new paperback edition of the best selling Things Come Apart comes equipped with a fresh, design-savvy package, and includes five new projects that reveal the inner workings of some of the world’s most iconic designs. From SLR camera to mantle clock to espresso machine, from iPad to bicycle to grand piano, every single component of each object is made visible. In addition to showcasing the quality and elegance of older designs, these disassembled objects show that even the most intricate modern technologies can be broken down and understood. Stunning photography is interspersed with essays by notable figures from the world of restoration, DIY, and design innovation, who discuss historical examples of teardowns, disassembly, and reverse engineering.
Things Come Apart conjures the childlike joy of taking something apart to see how it works, and will appeal to anyone with a curiosity about the material world.
