How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Common Real-World Problems from Randall Munroe of xkcd

3.44 (9 ratings by Goodreads)

By (author): Randall Munroe

'Wonderful' Neil Gaiman

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER



The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd and the million-selling What If? and Thing Explainer

For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.

About Randall Munroe

Randall Munroe is the creator of the webcomic xkcd and bestselling author of What If? Thing Explainer and xkcd: Volume 0. Randall was born in Easton Pennsylvania and grew up outside Richmond Virginia. After studying physics at Christopher Newport University he got a job building robots at NASA Langley Research Center. In 2006 he left NASA to draw comics on the internet full time and has since been nominated for a Hugo Award three times. The International Astronomical Union recently named an asteroid after him: asteroid 4942 Munroe is big enough to cause mass extinction if it ever hits a planet like Earth.
