Have you ever tried to read up on some incredible part of the world, only to find yourself faced with incomprehensible terminology and jargon? It’s nice to know what the parts of a thing are called, but it’s even more interesting to know what they do. What if you had something that could clearly explain it all using simple words?
Thing Explainer, by Randall Munroe, does just that. Using line drawings and only the thousand (or, rather, “ten hundred”) most common words, he provides simple explanations for some of the world’s most interesting things: our food-heating radio boxes (microwaves), our very tall roads (bridges), and our computer buildings (datacenters). He also explains the other worlds around our sun (the solar system), the big flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates), and even the stuff inside us (cells).
Where do these things come from? How do they work? What do they look like if you open them up? What would life be like without them? And what would happen if we heated them up, cooled them down, pointed them in a different direction, or pressed this button? In Thing Explainer, Munroe gives us the answers to these questions and so many more. Funny, interesting, and always understandable, this book is for anyone—age 5 to 105—who has ever wondered how things work, and why.
Randall Munroe is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller What If?, the science question-and-answer blog What If, and the popular webcomic xkcd. 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.
It was mentioned on Gates Notes, so I took a look. It's indeed a good book. I wish it was published when I was little. It's fun to read, and more importantly, it makes sense of things. Thing explainer.
評分諧謔有點過瞭 ...
評分好玩!其實光看圖就已經很明曉瞭。
評分三四年前讀的,覺得真是太酷瞭!有好多處驚呼從沒想過可以這樣看世界~

看了《万物解释者》,可还是无法给同乘的小孩,讲清楚为什么电梯不会掉下去。 《场论》曾经考了99分,可还是没法给化学博士的弟弟,讲清楚电场的美妙。 也许,我们从来都不缺乏对于复杂问题的理解,而是匮乏于对于复杂问题的表达。 所以,我们需要科普漫画书,需要像兰道尔·门...

評分不记得什么渠道看到这本书,就记下来,买回来自己看的。没有想到,这本书被我家小屁孩霸占了!成了3岁半小孩子的睡前故事! 书中是以图的形式表现的,但是实际上,文字部分非常多,有很多图上的注释之类的,是小孩子可以理解的平实的科学知识。 我家孩子最喜欢“高路”,“汽车...
