HOW THINGS WORK is a curiosity-quenching guide that dives into many marvels, both natural and man made. Humans have been able to create amazing things by thinking outside the box; thanks to human ingenuity, you now get to board a train, keep your milk in the refrigerator, use a cell phone, and do all sorts of other fascinatingly mundane things. However, we assure you that these things were once considered far from mundane!
In How Things Work, you’ll learn about:
The great men and women who invented these things had great minds, and they put them to great use, imagining brand-new tools and ways of doing things. HOW THINGS WORK is designed to open up brand new vistas of thought and to allow your mind to roam free and think creatively. Who knows? You just may shine that creative spark so brightly that you yourself end up in a book very much like this one!
Are you ready to learn more about the world around you?
