Summary

Travel back in time and into the not-so-distant future to dissect， explore， and discover how all kinds of things do what they do！ Along the way， you'll learn why cotton candy is so fluffy， how scientists built a space suit for Mars， and what goes into animating your favorite cartoons。

Look inside， take it apart， turn it over， and figure out how things work！ Quippy descriptions， full-color diagrams， and brilliant photographs make even the most intimidating subjects completely accessible--and totally fun！ （We're looking at you， space robots。） For every explanation， we touch on basic principles and then dive deeper。 Just want to know what terraforming is？ We've got you covered。 Want to know how to terraform， say， Mars？ We'll explain that， too。

But this book isn't just for explaining things。 We'll also introduce you to the dreamers， scientists， and innovators who create this amazing stuff。 You'll meet a NASA engineer， an underwater archaeologist， and a chocolate scientist。 You'll learn what it's like to fly a plane into the eye of a hurricane--on purpose。

Following on the success of National Geographic's How Things Work and How Things Work: Inside Out， How Things Work: Then and Now tackles a whole new batch of extraordinary and everyday things--from man-made to natural， historic to futuristic。

Ron Tenorio ，

I thought that the book "How Things Work: Then and Now" by T J Resler was pretty good and that it gave me a lot of good information on how things work that I never knew about before。 I rated this a 4 because the book was to big for me and it kind of took me a long time to read the whole thing but， most of the text to me was really interesting and cool。 If the author had made a part 2 on this book， I would've definitely read it because I would want to learn more on how to build stuff and how they I thought that the book "How Things Work: Then and Now" by T J Resler was pretty good and that it gave me a lot of good information on how things work that I never knew about before。 I rated this a 4 because the book was to big for me and it kind of took me a long time to read the whole thing but， most of the text to me was really interesting and cool。 If the author had made a part 2 on this book， I would've definitely read it because I would want to learn more on how to build stuff and how they work。 Overall， I thought that this book was really good for me because I might want to become a engineer in my future job when I get older and it might be good for you guys to read it if you might want to become an engineer in the future too when you get older。 。。。more
