Yes, that concept really rocks.

There are of course two "Powers of Ten" films by <a href="http://www.eamesoffice.com/">Ray and Charles Eames</a>, and two books, one from Scientific American by Phillip and Phyilis Morrison, based on the second Eames film. Nine an a half minutes long and comissioned by IBM in 1977, it was narrated by Philip Morrison.

The <a href="http://www.eamesoffice.com/films/Rough_Sketch.html">first Eames PoT film, "Rough Sketch of a Proposed Film Dealing with the Powers of Ten and the Relative Size of Things in the Universe"</a>was made in 1968

The original book,
<a href="http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/cosmicview/" >
Cosmic View: The Universe in Forty Jumps"</a> was written by Kees Boeke in 1957.
