Explainer-in-Chief David Macaulay updates his worldwide bestseller to capture the latest developments in the technology that most impacts our lives. What possible link could there be between parking meters and meat grinders, jumbo jets and jackhammers, remote control and rockets, electric guitars and egg beaters? Macaulay explains them all! Famously packed with information on the inner workings of everything from windmills to Wi-Fi, this extraordinary and humorous book both guides readers through the fundamental principles of machines and shows how the developments of the past are building blocks of the world of tomorrow. This sweepingly revised edition embraces recent technological developments, from touchscreens to 3D printers. Each scientific principle is brilliantly explained, with the help of a charming, if rather slow-witted, woolly mammoth. An illustrated survey of significant inventions closes the book, along with a glossary of technical terms and an index. A New York Times Bestseller Review: Fun for young teens! and anyone else with a curious mind :) - I was looking for a gift for a young teen and this caught my eye.

The recipient was more thrilled with this book than I expected and he said he'd been wanting a book like this, so it was a win! It's just a cool, informative, entertaining book and a great gift! The quality is excellent as well. Review: A wonderful book! - I bought this as a present for my, just turned 11, grandson. I'm in my late 70's and up 'till retiring a few years ago, I have been a hands-on electrical & refrigeration engineer all my life This is a wonderful book which clearly shows (in fairly simple terms) just how things work. And I can attest to it's accuracy. Im just hoping it will whether Rory's appetite for such things and steer him away from his excessive screen time.
