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.

不记得什么渠道看到这本书,就记下来,买回来自己看的。没有想到,这本书被我家小屁孩霸占了!成了3岁半小孩子的睡前故事! 书中是以图的形式表现的,但是实际上,文字部分非常多,有很多图上的注释之类的,是小孩子可以理解的平实的科学知识。 我家孩子最喜欢“高路”,“汽车...
评分著 安康小确幸 封面最显眼的位置上,用箭头指着最大的字——《万物解释者》,写着“最大的字告诉你这本书讲什么”,书的英文名为《THING EXPLAINER》。左下角,另一个箭头指着一串英文名,写着这是“我的名字”,作者的中文名为兰道尔·门罗。 这是一本被比尔·盖茨极力推荐...
评分 评分本文为比尔盖茨为Randall Munroe新书《Thing Explainer:Complicated Stuffin Simple Words》(中文译本《万物解释者》)所写的书评。 由WPDang发表于界面 我发现在慈善行业里,术语是一个问题,比如在健康领域工作时,你自然会听到讨论最新医学研究时会蹦出来的那些词汇,...
评分这是一本比较另类的百科全书。无论是小朋友,学生还是家长,都可以在这本书里面获得极大的收获。正所谓是无图无真相,这本书在这方面做的真的很不错,他以图为骨架文字为血肉,在没有使用专业名词的情况下,用最简单的生活常见词汇对几句,几十个跨度性极大复杂,而且高精尖的...

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.
