Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words | |
a wonderful guide for curious minds.
Bill Gates
Like any good work of science writing, ["Thing Explainer"] is equal parts lucid, funny, and startling.
"NewYorker.com"
PRAISE FOR "WHAT IF?"
"To reinvigorate your sense of cosmic wonder...breeze through former NASA scientist Munroe's lively answers peppered with line drawings to some pretty bizarre questions about life, the universe, and everything else...Extreme astrophysics and indecipherable chemistry have rarely been this clearly explained or this consistently hilarious."
"Entertainment Weekly ""10 Best Nonfiction Books of the Year"
"Catchy and approachable...There's plenty of scientific rigor behind his elaborate explanations but he punctuates them with sly humor and winningly primitive cartoon diagrams...A cut above so many popular science and technology books."
"NPR.org"
"Consistently fascinating and entertaining...Munroe leavens the hard science with whimsical touches...An illuminating handbook of methods of reasoning."
"Wall Street Journal"
"Education should aim to teach people to reason confidently about problems that they have never come across before. This book is a great deal of fun, and a masterclass in such reasoning. Like all the best lessons, you only realise you ve learned something once you ve finished it."
"The Economist"
"Munroe takes inane, useless and often quite pointless questions asked by real humans (mostly sent to him through his website), and turns them into beautiful expositions on the impossible that illuminate the furthest reaches, almost to the limits, of the modern sciences The answers are all illustrated with XKCD s trademark stick figures...and these are eminently approachable." "Newsweek"
""What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions" includes old favorites, new inquiries and the mix of expert research and accessible wit that has made Munroe a favorite among both geeks and laymen."
"TIME"
"Loaded with the same dry wit and blank-faced stick figures that populate "xkcd, What If?" is that rare book that will have you laughing as you learn just how a mass extinction might unfold."
"Discover"

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. A former NASA roboticist, he left the agency in 2006 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.
网友对Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words的评论
本来想看电子书，但是发现这本书不适合在kindle上看，正好亚马逊搞活动就买了纸质书，书的质量不错，只是送过来时没有塑封，书皮有些脏
书的内容很不错，亚马逊的外包装不错，但是书本自身封面很脏，送人实在是有点.....
质量不错，纸张厚，书比想象中的大得多，中国印刷，清晰
我买之前看到有人说可能不兼容，特地看了下，Fire HD 7应该是可以的。
可是我下回来点了以后，会一直是黑色的屏幕，全黑，什么都没有。
我在电脑上试了下，是可以看的。
我想了下，我把平板阅读器的背景颜色调成黑色了，而电脑上我看这书背景是白色的。我就想是不是这个问题。可是呢，最近这次Fire OS 5的更新之后，阅读器设置背景颜色的选项不见了，没法调背景。
目前的结果就是Fire HD 7平板上一片黑。
不知道为什么我的书封面有污点，也没有封装，不像新的，像被人翻过的一样。一百五十八买这样的品质就觉得不值。其他的只想厚度和印刷还可以。
书很喜欢，服务也很赞
真的是用很简单的词去诠释平常比较难懂的内容！很赞！
