具体描述
The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd and the #1 New York Times bestsellers What If? and Thing Explainer
For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.
Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and getting to your appointments on time by destroying the Moon. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.
By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and amusing illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.

##本来觉得他的书是绝好的茶几书，没想到有声书也很有意思，像听了一套podcast.
评分##找图书馆request的，等了好久，但终于拿到后粗略的翻了一遍，提不起兴趣，感觉本书更适合小孩子激发对科学兴趣吧。
评分##cute little book, would have been more intriguing if more inspiring

评分##Randall Munroe下周在我校新书发布 Dussmann倾情主办 企鹅出版非常有保障 不过有些梗真的很难get到
评分##this makes me happy. 虽然致谢最后藏了一把狗粮“书中一半儿是她教的&共同探索世界”。全程嗷嗷叫。
评分##总是说, 问出正确的问题比找到问题的解答更重要. 这本书里都是平凡的问题, 作者只是不认为“这就是唯一的解答了吗?”
