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
##機靈抖多瞭就膩瞭，大概是我老瞭
評分##不如What if驚艷，但也很可愛瞭。
評分##本來覺得他的書是絕好的茶幾書，沒想到有聲書也很有意思，像聽瞭一套podcast.
評分##非常好玩的書
評分##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##以一些基本物理規律和小計算為基礎的腦洞大開小甜品，火柴人配圖也很可愛，但是看過幾篇之後就審美疲勞瞭，最後在一半多棄瞭。忘瞭標記？2021-1-2 to 2021-1-24

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……）
