內容簡介

Award-winning artist David Macaulay introduces readers to his hilarious new creations， Sloth and Sengi， in How Machines Work： Zoo Break!

Complete with a unique jacket with an interactive compound machine incorporating several of the simple mechanisms featured in the book， How Machines Work： Zoo Break! uses models and illustrations to demonstrate the technology of six simple machines： levers， pulleys， screws， inclined planes， wedges， and wheels.

Follow the mad antics of Sloth and his sidekick Sengi as they try to find their way out of the zoo with the help of machines. Their efforts are brought to life through novelty elements including pop-ups， pull-outs， and lift-the-flaps， allowing readers to explore in greater depth how and why machines work. Spreads highlight the use of simple machines in everyday objects， such as scissors and clocks， mixers and whisks， bikes and brakes， while the story contains clear and simple text to engage the reader.

但那樣的父母，經常也是在一個缺乏情感交流的傢庭長大。騰訊大傢作者尼德羅曾談到，80後90後在指責父母教養方式的同時，也需要意識到，他們以及他們的父母曾經曆過一個多麼特殊的時代（政治運動頻發，集體淩駕於個人）除瞭塑造他們缺乏自我，竭力趨同的性格之外，也在記憶中留下瞭許多隱形的創傷。他們繼承瞭上一輩的精神傷痛，也將這種傷痛傳遞給孩子。
