How things work? Volume 2

Granada Publishing Limited, 1980. — 590 p.How Things Work is an unpretentious title for a book that, although certainly unpretentious, is far more than merely informative. While readers seeking practical explanations of our major and minor machines will find it clear and accurate, HOW THINGS WORK covers wider ground. To read How Things Work is to realize, piece by piece, - the infinite connections between our lives and the machines we control; to realize how these machines fit, or upset, the nature of things; to link the grand and major scientific achievement with the commonplace and to relate this to our daily lives.
