具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##Blinkist掃過。一本正經地鬍說八道的典型，齣一本書好像有點過瞭。超過光速這個小機靈和最後取名字那個小機靈實在有些無聊。
評分##找圖書館request的，等瞭好久，但終於拿到後粗略的翻瞭一遍，提不起興趣，感覺本書更適閤小孩子激發對科學興趣吧。
評分##機靈抖多瞭就膩瞭，大概是我老瞭
評分##前半本讀得有點煩躁，有時讀著讀著都能忘瞭標題是什麼。斷斷續續讀完後，被最後的"thanks to my wife..."打動瞭。
評分沒有作者前一本《What If》好玩，那本有一派天真爛漫的高興。不過這本也很有趣，腦洞一樣很大。特彆喜歡“如何彈鋼琴” “如何建一條熔岩護城河” “如何寄一個包裹” “如果為屋子供電” “如何準時” “如何贏得選舉” 這幾章，彆被標題騙瞭，嘿嘿。
評分##this makes me happy. 雖然緻謝最後藏瞭一把狗糧“書中一半兒是她教的&共同探索世界”。全程嗷嗷叫。
