{"product_id":"the-way-things-work-now","title":"The Way Things Work Now","description":"As seen on CBS News Sunday Morning.\nExplainer-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!\nFamously 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.\nAn illustrated survey of significant inventions closes the book, along with a glossary of technical terms and an index.\nA New York Times Bestseller\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0544824385\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0544824385.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Macaulay, David\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in good condition.
