How Things Work: The Inner Life of Everyday Machines Reviews

  • Aeternel

    El contenido no parece tan espectacular, pero es indudable la calidad de las fotografías y del tipo de papel. Recomendado para seguidores del autor.

    For once, I think the Kindle version may be better than the hard copy. The photographs from Mann are of such high quality and resolution, even at high levels of “zoom” the detail & clarity is stunning. Grey’s insightful explanations often detail old concepts from new perspectives. Worth every penny!

  • Andy

    Just as the title says this incredible picture filled book shows just how many forms of everyday technology work and what they look like on the inside. Locks, clocks, and scales in detail and even a few examples of old phones, radios et cetera. I am not technology inclined, nor a watchmaker, but found this book very cool and maybe even a bit of a nostalgia trip. If you know someone who loves working on gadgets or fixing older things, they will find this a thrilling read.
