Engineering Editorial Review
The Way Things Work is a classic hardcover book that has been around for over 30 years, but it is still just as entertaining and informative as ever. The author uses a woolly mammoth to explain concepts like the inclined plane, levers, and more, making it a fun and engaging read for kids and adults alike. The detailed drawings and charming old-style charm of the book make it a great addition to any library or coffee table.
