Famously packed with information on the inner workings of everything from windmills to Wi-Fi, this extraordinary and humorous book both guides readers through the fundamental principles of machines, and shows how the developments of the past are building the world of tomorrow.
This sweepingly revised edition embraces all of the latest developments, from touchscreens to 3D printer.
