WHAT IF? 2 - RANDALL MUNROE KARTONIERT (TB)

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!  An NPR Best Book of 2022  "The questions throughout What
If? 2 are equal parts brilliant  gross  and wonderfully absurd and the answers are thorough 
deeply researched  and great fun. . . . Science isn’t easy  but in Munroe’s capable hands  it
surely can be fun." — TIME   The #1 New York Times bestselling author of What If? and How To
answers more of the weirdest questions you never thought to ask     The millions of people
around the world who read and loved What If? still have questions  and those questions are
getting stranger. Thank goodness xkcd creator Randall Munroe is here to help. Planning to ride
a fire pole from the Moon back to Earth? The hardest part is sticking the landing. Hoping to
cool the atmosphere by opening everyone’s freezer door at the same time? Maybe it’s time for a
brief introduction to thermodynamics. Want to know what would happen if you rode a helicopter
blade  built a billion-story building  made a lava lamp out of lava  or jumped on a geyser as
it erupted? Okay  if you insist.  Before you go on a cosmic road trip  feed the residents of
New York City to a T. rex  or fill every church with bananas  be sure to consult this practical
guide for impractical 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.
