具体描述

Randall Munroe is the author of the popular webcomic xkcd and the science question-and-answer blog What If. Randall was born in Easton, Pennsylvania and grew up outside Richmond, Virginia. After studying physics at Christopher Newport University, he got a job building robots at NASA Langley Research Center. In 2006, he left NASA to draw comics on the internet full-time, supporting himself through the sale of xkcd t-shirts, prints, posters, and books. He likes candlelight dinners and long walks on the beach. Very long walks. Lots of people say they like long walks on the beach, but then they get out on the beach and after just an hour or two, they say they're getting tired. Bring a tent. He lives in Massachusetts.

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.

##前半本读得有点烦躁,有时读着读着都能忘了标题是什么。断断续续读完后,被最后的"thanks to my wife..."打动了。

##每一个章节对应一个问题,然后使用通过公式验证合理却不合常理的方式解决问题,解决问题的方式天马行空,不过有些主题有点无聊。

##很多年前流行着一句小品台词:“问,把大象放冰箱,分几步?”“分几步?”“你这都不知道吗?分三步啊,先把冰箱门打开,把大象放进去,再把冰箱门带上。”当时台下掌声雷动,大家都觉得这个段子妙极了。但这个问题如果放到兰道尔·门罗这本《如何不切实际地解决实际问题》里...

一本书的生活态度 你问,我的名字? 那听好了:“如何——不切实际地——解决——实际问题”。没有人会有这么长的名字,对吧?所以,我理所应当地,是一本书。 回想我还是一张张白纸时,即将第一次走进印刷机的我,内心满是焦虑:听那些再生纸前辈们讲,印上好的东西对纸来讲是...
