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.

##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##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##機靈抖多瞭就膩瞭，大概是我老瞭
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##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##總是說, 問齣正確的問題比找到問題的解答更重要. 這本書裏都是平凡的問題, 作者隻是不認為“這就是唯一的解答瞭嗎?”
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##機靈抖多瞭就膩瞭，大概是我老瞭
