內容簡介
內容簡介 萬物是如何運作的：從人腦到太陽系 你有沒有想過電子郵件如何在短短幾秒鐘內，到達世界另一端給收信者？為什麼雷雨天站在樹下是為危險的？溫室效應是怎麼形成的？飛機跑道是怎麼維持、運作的？本書介紹從真菌孢子、人體、睡眠模式、烹飪，再到污水處理系統、風力發電、地球、板塊構造、太空站等等…將拆解內部﹙例如屋頂、牆壁、電動車﹚，向讀者解釋它們基本原理（例如光合作用）以及延伸的概念﹙例如熱帶雨林中的所有生物如何相互影響﹚，讓讀者對簡要瞭解前因後果。 包羅萬象，引領讀者對自然界和人體的認識詳細的圖解與照片搭配，運作細節一目瞭然與學校 STEM教育相輔相成 Have you ever wondered how an email gets to someone on the other side of the world in just a few seconds or why it's a bad idea to stand under a tree during a thunderstorm?Each page of this mind-blowingly detailed and ambitious encyclopedia will guide you through the natural world and the technology that surrounds you. Giant, page-filling illustrations take objects apart - or take the roofs and walls off buildings - to show you how they work, explaining both basic principles (such as photosynthesis) as well as broader concepts (like how all the living things in a rainforest interact). Chapters range from the human body to cities and industry, to planet Earth, taking in sleep patterns, cooking, sewage systems, wind farms, fungi spores, and plate tectonics along the way.How Everything Works is perfect for children studying STEM subjects at school or anyone who is simply curious about how nature and the modern world work."
