More How Stuff Works, by Marshall Brain
by Dear Librarian and tagged description, inventions, MORE How Stuff Works
With Teen Tech Week this week, this book seems like the perfect Book of the Week. Inside MORE How Stuff Works is a second book filled with a description of exactly what the title states–how stuff works. Here’s a sampling taken from the cover of the topics that can be found out about inside this book: black holes, fire extinguishers, CD burners, venus flytraps, encryption, cloning, hurricanes, artificial hearts, metal detectors, and espresso machines. The array of topics is vast, and just about everything is explained. This is a perfect book to browse but could even be read straight through.
