About This Item
Synopsis
The information age is upon us, baffling us with thousands of complicated state-of-the-art technologies. To help make sense of the computer age, David Macaulay brings us The New Way Things Work. This completely updated and expanded edition describes twelve new machines and includes more than seventy new pages detailing the latest innovations. With an entirely new section that guides us through the complicated world of digital machinery, where masses of electronic information can be squeezed onto a single tiny microchip, this revised edition embraces all of the newest developments, from cars to watches. Each scientific principle is brilliantly explained--with the help of a charming, if rather slow-witted, woolly mammoth.

Delivery is provided by the United States Postal Service (USPS). All orders are packaged with extra care, generally in a new book box with protective plastic & bubble wrap, and Media Mail is the normal shipping service. International shipping may incur additional charges due to rate increases with USPS (depending on the weight of the parcel). And if there is a need for additional shipping fees then I will only charge (request) the precise amount necessary, since I can't absorb those costs. Thank you!
