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.
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.
还是很喜欢他呀,脑洞越大越精彩
评分感觉不如what if,很多章节主题很诡异。不过总体还不错。
评分如果科学(物理,化学,生物)的课本都能这么写,那么我对科学的热情能提升很多。
评分陆陆续续看完了这本书,涉及到科学公式的部分也不是全然的晦涩难懂。在家挖个游泳池从海里取水,如何过河,作者用他的无限脑洞给我们展示了一个非常规和理性的世界,令人惊叹的是作者拿出精密的数据作为论证,而不是空口无凭的异想天开。真是个有趣的人儿。
评分Blinkist扫过。一本正经地胡说八道的典型,出一本书好像有点过了。超过光速这个小机灵和最后取名字那个小机灵实在有些无聊。

评分 评分估算最有名的是1938年诺贝尔物理学奖获得者费米,他曾经提出一个很有名的问题“芝加哥有多少个钢琴调音师”。 类似这种问题,成为各种面试中的难题。我也曾经想更多的了解费米估算的思路,四处寻找《费米传》来阅读。 而《如何不切实际地解决实际问题》这本书中出现的问题则比...
