Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words, by Randall Munroe
这本书的作者是NASA的机械师。就像书名说的那样,作者用最多不过1000字的简单词汇解释一些科技发明的工作原理,从生活中常见到的洗碗机,到核电站的工作原理,相信看了之后会大有启发。真正内行的人才可以做到几句话把事儿说明白吧。
盖茨评语:It is a brilliant concept, because if you can't explain something simply, you don't really understand it. Munroe, who worked on robotics at NASA, is an ideal person to take it on. The book is filled with helpful explanations and drawings of everything from a dishwasher to a nuclear power plant. And Munroe's jokes are laugh-out-loud funny. This is a wonderful guide for curious minds.
Being Nixon: A Man Divided, by Evan Thomas
作者不仅讲述了美国前总统尼克松的政治生涯,也讲述了尼克松一生的故事,从出生到死亡。这是一个睿智、有缺陷、纠结的人物。
盖茨评语:I wouldn't call it a sympathetic portrait—in many ways, Nixon was a deeply unsympathetic person—but it is an empathetic one. Rather than just focusing on Nixon's presidency, Thomas takes a cradle-to-the-grave approach and gives you sharp insights into the inner workings of a brilliant, flawed, and conflicted man.
