Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe It's good to know what the parts of a thing are called, but it's much more interesting to know what they do. Where do things come from? How do the y work? What do they look like if you open them up? Addressing subjects such as our food-heating radio boxes ('microwaves'), our very tall roads ('bridges'), and the big flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates), Randall Munroe explains things using only drawings and a vocabulary of just our 1000 (or the ten hundred) most common words.[shortcode] [short-description] • Find out what things are called and what they do• Explained with drawings and a vocabulary of just 1000 common words [/short-description][details] Published by Hodder & Stoughton Written in English Paperback book64 pages ISBN 9781473637313Book measures 33x22.9cm [/details] [/shortcode] Show more
