About the Book

Del ingeniero de la NASA, creador de la web humorística xkcd y autor del best seller ¿Qué pasaría sí?, nos llega una serie de dibujos con descripciones brillantes -y simples- que lo explican todo, desde los reactores nucleares hasta los bolígrafos.

¿Has intentado alguna vez aprender algo sobre una cosa maravillosa, solo para frustrarte después ante una jerga incomprensible?

Randall Munroe está aquí para ayudarte.

Utilizando únicamente dibujos esquemáticos y las mil palabras (o, mejor dicho, los diez cientos) más comunes en nuestro idioma para dar explicaciones sencillas sobre algunas de las cosas más interesantes que existen, incluyendo:

- Calentador de comida con ondas (= microondas)
- Carreteras en alto (= puentes)
- Edificio con ordenadores (= centro de procesamiento de datos)
- Casa compartida en el espacio (= Estación Espacial Internacional)
- Mundos alrededor del sol (= sistema solar)
- Placas de roca sobre las que vivimos (= placas tectónicas)
- Elementos de los que está hecho todo (= tabla periódica)
- Barco volador con alar giratorias (= helicóptero)
- Máquinas para que la ropa huela mejor (= lavadora y secadora)
- Aparatos que tienes dentro (= órganos)

¿Cómo funcionan estas cosas? ¿De dónde vienen? ¿Cómo sería la vida sin ellas? Y ¿qué ocurriría si las abrimos, las calentamos, las enfriamos, las orientamos en una dirección diferente o apretamos un determinado botón?

En El explicador de cosas, Munroe da respuesta a estas preguntas y a muchas más. Divertido, interesante y siempre comprensible, este libro es para cualquiera -entre 5 y 105 años- que alguna vez se haya preguntado cómo funcionan las cosas y por qué.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words, things are explained in the style of Up Goer Five, using only drawings and a vocabulary of the 1,000 (or ten hundred) most common words. Explore computer buildings (datacenters), the flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates), the things you use to steer a plane (airliner cockpit controls), and the little bags of water you're made of (cells).


About the Author: Randall Munroe, antiguo empleado de la NASA, es el creador de la web xkcd, con más de un millón de visitas y autor de xkcd: volumen 0 y de ¿Qué pasaría si...? La Unión Astronómica Internacional ha bautizado recientemente un asteroide con su nombre; el asteroide 4942 Munroe es lo bastante grande como para causar la extinción de la humanidad si chocara contra la Tierra. Randall vive en Cambridge, Massachusetts.
