Un nuevo libro del mejor y más vendido divulgador científico del momento.
“How To will make you laugh as you learn…With How To, you can’t help but appreciate the glorious complexity of our universe and the amazing breadth of humanity’s effort to comprehend it. If you want some lightweight edification, you won’t go wrong with How To.” —CNET
“[How To] tackles problems from the mundane—such as how to move to a new house—to those that may trouble a mad scientist building her first lava moat. The solutions are often hilariously, and purposefully, absurd. Embedded in these solutions, however, is solid scientific, engineering, and experimental understanding . . . [for] anyone who appreciates science-based, but Rube Goldberg–esque, solutions to life’s problems.” —Science Magazine
“How To is a pure delight, a salty-sweet mixture of hard science and bonkers whimsy.” —BoingBoing
Randall Munroe es el nombre que hay detrás del webcómic XKCD, uno de los más emblemáticos y exitosos de Internet. Su humor se caracteriza por tratar temas científicos y computacionales, además de por su voluntad divulgativa (además de cómica). |
