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. 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.

Have you ever tried to read up on some incredible part of the world, only to find yourself faced with incomprehensible terminology and jargon? It’s nice to know what the parts of a thing are called, but it’s even more interesting to know what they do. What if you had something that could clearly explain it all using simple words?

Thing Explainer, by Randall Munroe, does just that. Using line drawings and only the thousand (or, rather, “ten hundred”) most common words, he provides simple explanations for some of the world’s most interesting things: our food-heating radio boxes (microwaves), our very tall roads (bridges), and our computer buildings (datacenters). He also explains the other worlds around our sun (the solar system), the big flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates), and even the stuff inside us (cells).

Where do these things come from? How do they work? What do they look like if you open them up? What would life be like without them? And what would happen if we heated them up, cooled them down, pointed them in a different direction, or pressed this button? In Thing Explainer, Munroe gives us the answers to these questions and so many more. Funny, interesting, and always understandable, this book is for anyone—age 5 to 105—who has ever wondered how things work, and why.

“话说谷歌公司有一道很常用的面试题,就是你能把一件我不知道的事情两三分钟跟我讲明白吗?这道题当然首先考的是你的知识水准啦,但更重要的是在很短的时间内、面对一个外行把一件很复杂的事情说清楚,这个是很重要的能力呀。过去只有行业内的大师级人物才有,而未来呢跨界协...

想法不错,画风也有卖点,但实际上感觉不出explain了多少东西。

评分

读这书的很大一部分乐趣来源于单凭标题,或者正文先来猜测一番作者指的是什么。于我而言,最有用有益的部分是美国宪法及修正案一节,不知这部分在中国译本里是否保留了。

评分

就真正挑战的是如何用文末那1000个简单词去描述复杂事物。

买了一年了,再读有种想要翻译的冲动

书中巨无霸!应该是半开纸。酷炫~!内容涉及很广,而且真的都是超级简单的单词。真的怎么四处安利这本书都不过分吗。一个字,买。
