What made the first volume of How Things Work a bestselling classic? Hundreds of pages of clear, detailed illustrations: opposite each, a concise explanatory text. Here now is the long-awaited sequel: over 550 more pages of fascinating, simply explained and up-to-date answers to the multitude of questions that perplex the layman in the machine age. Like Volume 1, it covers everything from the simplest household gadget to the most complex industrial processes. If you didn't find it in Volume 1, look for it here. (If you don't own Volume 1, you can usefully and enjoyably begin with this one).
Over 40 pages are given over to the subject of improving automobile engine efficiency, speed, capacity and performance: the discussion of colour television begun in the previous volume has been expanded and the various types of systems explained; 30 pages are devoted to rocket propulsion systems, space suits and space capsules, satellites, and other aspects of space technology.
More than a sequel, more than a reference work, more than a browser's delight, How Things Work Volume 2 is an essential resource for the baffled parent, the curious older child, or the average normally-normally mystified layman. It is a cumulative answer to the old question, what makes the world go around?
