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
##陸陸續續看完瞭這本書，涉及到科學公式的部分也不是全然的晦澀難懂。在傢挖個遊泳池從海裏取水，如何過河，作者用他的無限腦洞給我們展示瞭一個非常規和理性的世界，令人驚嘆的是作者拿齣精密的數據作為論證，而不是空口無憑的異想天開。真是個有趣的人兒。
評分##Randall Munroe下周在我校新書發布 Dussmann傾情主辦 企鵝齣版非常有保障 不過有些梗真的很難get到
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##腦洞很不錯。唯一不滿的是，讀到60%多，突然就沒有更多瞭（因為後麵是references和notes……）
評分##還是很喜歡他呀，腦洞越大越精彩
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。
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。
