MUNROE RANDALL WHAT IF? 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

CELEBRATING TEN YEARS OF THE MILLION-SELLING POP SCIENCE CLASSIC WITH A SPECIAL EDITION.   THIS
IS WHAT IF? . . . x10.   THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER   'Nerd royalty' BEN GOLDACRE   'Totally
brilliant' TIM HARFORD   'Required reading across the world' NEW YORK TIMES    From the creator
of the wildly popular xkcd.com  hilarious and informative answers to important questions you
probably never thought to ask.  Fans of Randall Munroe ask him a lot of strange questions: How
fast can you hit a speed bump  driving  and live? When (if ever) did the sun go down on the
British Empire? When will Facebook contain more profiles of dead people than living? How many
humans would a T Rex rampaging through New York need to eat a day? In pursuit of answers 
Munroe runs computer simulations  pores over stacks of declassified military research memos 
solves differential equations and consults nuclear reactor operators. His responses are
masterpieces of clarity and hilarity  complemented by comics. (They often predict the complete
annihilation of humankind  or at least a really big explosion.)  In celebration of 10 years of
unusual insight  Randall Munroe has revised his classic blockbuster to ask what if? x 10.
Featuring brand-new 2-colour annotations and illustrations  this special anniversary edition
will leave you feeling much smarter  whether you have a Nobel Prize or not.
