具体描述
The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd and the #1 New York Times bestsellers What If? and Thing Explainer
For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.
Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and getting to your appointments on time by destroying the Moon. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.
By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and amusing illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.

##以一些基本物理规律和小计算为基础的脑洞大开小甜品，火柴人配图也很可爱，但是看过几篇之后就审美疲劳了，最后在一半多弃了。忘了标记？2021-1-2 to 2021-1-24
评分##找图书馆request的，等了好久，但终于拿到后粗略的翻了一遍，提不起兴趣，感觉本书更适合小孩子激发对科学兴趣吧。
评分##Blinkist扫过。一本正经地胡说八道的典型，出一本书好像有点过了。超过光速这个小机灵和最后取名字那个小机灵实在有些无聊。
评分##cute little book, would have been more intriguing if more inspiring
评分##每一个章节对应一个问题，然后使用通过公式验证合理却不合常理的方式解决问题，解决问题的方式天马行空，不过有些主题有点无聊。
评分##总是说, 问出正确的问题比找到问题的解答更重要. 这本书里都是平凡的问题, 作者只是不认为“这就是唯一的解答了吗?”
评分没有作者前一本《What If》好玩，那本有一派天真烂漫的高兴。不过这本也很有趣，脑洞一样很大。特别喜欢“如何弹钢琴” “如何建一条熔岩护城河” “如何寄一个包裹” “如果为屋子供电” “如何准时” “如何赢得选举” 这几章，别被标题骗了，嘿嘿。
评分##本来觉得他的书是绝好的茶几书，没想到有声书也很有意思，像听了一套podcast.
