thermodynamics. Want to know what would happen if you rode a helicopter blade  built a

ideas. Unfazed by absurdity  Munroe consults the latest research on everything from swing-set
physics to airliner catapult–design to answer his readers’ questions  clearly and concisely 
with illuminating and occasionally terrifying illustrations. As he consistently demonstrates 
you can learn a lot from examining how the world might work in very specific extreme
circumstances.
