North presses a lot of very interesting (and potentially useful) information into pithy prose packaged precisely for casual reading. The format will accommodate you whether you want to go from cover to cover or skip around. ( ) This is a humerous and educational book. The reader learns details of technology from crop rotation to machines. Since the book is aimed at recreating modern society, many of the ideas are explained on a scale that can't be reasonably implemented by a single individual. However, the information is interesting in its own right, and a determined reader could scale down some of the technologies to test in their backyards. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:An NPR Best Book of 2018 "How to Invent Everything is such a cool book. It's essential reading for anyone who needs to duplicate an industrial civilization quickly." â??Randall Munroe, xkcd creator and New York Times-bestselling author of What If? The only book you need if you're going back in time What would you do if a time machine hurled you thousands of years into the past. . . and then broke? How would you survive? Could you improve on humanity's original timeline? And how hard would it be to domesticate a giant wombat? With this book as your guide, you'll surviveâ??and thriveâ??in any period in Earth's history. Bestselling author and time-travel enthusiast Ryan North shows you how to invent all the modern conveniences we take for grantedâ??from first principles.
