| Description | Have you ever tried to learn more about some incredible thing, only to be frustrated by incomprehensible jargon? Thing Explainer uses line drawings and only the thousand (or the ten hundred) most common world to provide simple explanations for some of the most interesting stuff there is, including: food-heating radio boxes (microwaves); tall roads (bridges); computer buildings (data centres); shared space house (the International Space Station); the other worlds around the sun (the solar system); the big flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates); the pieces everything is made of (the periodic table); sky boats with turning wings (helicopters); boxes that make clothes smell better (washing machines and dryers); and the bags of stuff inside you (human organs). How do these thins work? Where do they come from? What would life be like without them? And what would happen if we opened them, heated them up, cooled them down, pointed them in a different direction, or, even, pressed this button? Find the answers to these questions and so many more. Funny, interesting, and always understandable, this book is for anyone - from 5 to 105 - who has ever wondered how things work, and why. | | Release Date | 2015 | | Author | Randall Munroe | | Format | Dimensions 23.5x34.0x2.0 cm
