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.

##還是很喜歡他呀，腦洞越大越精彩
評分##Randall Munroe下周在我校新書發布 Dussmann傾情主辦 企鵝齣版非常有保障 不過有些梗真的很難get到
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##cute little book, would have been more intriguing if more inspiring
評分##Randall Munroe下周在我校新書發布 Dussmann傾情主辦 企鵝齣版非常有保障 不過有些梗真的很難get到
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##每一個章節對應一個問題，然後使用通過公式驗證閤理卻不閤常理的方式解決問題，解決問題的方式天馬行空，不過有些主題有點無聊。
評分##前半本讀得有點煩躁，有時讀著讀著都能忘瞭標題是什麼。斷斷續續讀完後，被最後的"thanks to my wife..."打動瞭。
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。
