Reviews

Amazon Best Children's Books of the Year: NonFiction San Francisco Chronicle Best of 2016 New York Times Bestseller "... long-awaited update to one of the more original books ever printed." -- School Library Journal * "Macaulay's brilliantly designed, engagingly informal diagrams and cutaways bring within the grasp of even casual viewers a greater understanding of the technological wonders of both past and present. Necessary for every library, personal or otherwise."-- Kirkus , starred review Praise for The Way Things Work " The Way Things Work is a superb achievement. It is a very handsome book, a fascinating collection of riddles and a sound educational accomplishment that, while explaining in words and pictures - mostly pictures - some of the mysteries of physics, makes you smile, and often laugh. The author is honest enough to say that the book was intended for children of all ages, and brilliant enough to make all its readers feel brighter than they ever thought they could be."-- The New York Times " The Way Things Work is not the only book that has tried to explain modern mysteries, but it's the best. Macaulay's explanations are lucid; they are also fun. He includes visual puns, running jokes, a cast of thousands of tiny participants in on and around the machines, choirs of angels and lots of big woolly mammoths."-- Boston Globe "Keep the book a secret from your kids for a while and study up on the explanations of questions you're anticipating. Let Macaulay make you look smarter than you think you are. The kids will certainly be impressed - and you'll be getting a real education in the bargain."-- The Los Angeles Times " An astonishing tour-de-force by the architect-turned-author who has given us Cathedral and City ." -- Kirkus "This is a work of mammoth imagination, energy, and humor. It justifies every critic's belief that information and entertainment are not mutually exclusive - good nonfiction is storytelling at its best." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books , starred review "Combining the tongue-in-cheek observations of a budding prehistoric engineer with acute descriptions of the functioning of mechanical and electrical machines, Macaulay has produced a superb volume."-- The Horn Book, starred review "A book to be treasured as both a browsing item and as a gold mine of reference information."-- School Library Journal , starred review, "... long-awaited update to one of the more original books ever printed." -- School Library Journal * "Macaulay's brilliantly designed, engagingly informal diagrams and cutaways bring within the grasp of even casual viewers a greater understanding of the technological wonders of both past and present.
