The Way Things Work Now

Had the first edition of the book as a kid. Got this one for my kids. An amazing book for the curious child. Fun and detailed explanation on all the machines we see in our daily life

Excellent. Bought this book for my niece. She is loving it.

The Way Things Work... Have gifted it multiple times! Very Good Book to clear concepts. Worth a buy... But available cheaper as well. Second time I bought it from Amazon itself for less than half the price and received the very same book.

Useful for children

Very informative, my daughter has happily read this for hours.

Amei o livro, vou usar pra aprender física. Além de mostrar como tudo funciona, ele é dividido em áreas da Física, como alavanca, engrenagens, erc, e relaciona equipamentos que parecem super diferentes (por exemplo, um abridor de garrafas e uma catapulta... sei lá kkkk ainda nao li, só xeretei), e mostra como usam o mesmo princípio da física pra diminuir a força aplicada e realizar o mesmo trabalho... Só não dei 5 estrelas porque adoraria ver imagens reais, e não desenhos, porque vou usar pra ensinar meus filhos e com desenhos fica mais difícil eles perceberem do que se trata. Por exemplo, um desenho em zoom de um grampeador é super legal, mas pros pequenos não é muito claro...

Perfect! Beautiful book and perfect condition!

Present for 9yo. Of great interest to whole family when left out to flick through. Family talk together as they see how things work. There a loose paper cover which unfortunately gets folded constantly as it falls off...

I was looking for a gift for a young teen and this caught my eye. It has all sorts of info on all sorts of things and is interesting to all ages from what I've experienced. The recipient was more thrilled with this book than I expected and he said he'd been wanting a book like this, so it was a win! It's just a cool, informative, entertaining book and a great gift! The quality is excellent as well.
