A pure delight, a salty-sweet mixture of hard science and bonkers whimsy (Boing Boing)

Extremely accurate and often amusing answers to everyday issues (Daily Mail)

Consistently fascinating and entertaining (Wall Street Journal)

The creator of the popular, extremely excellent webcomic xkcd cleverly illustrates a guide of complicated solutions to simple tasks as common as digging a hole (USA Today)

[How To] tackles problems from the mundane-such as how to move to a new house-to those that may trouble a mad scientist building her first lava moat. The solutions are often hilariously, and purposefully, absurd. Embedded in these solutions, however, is solid scientific, engineering, and experimental understanding . . . [for] anyone who appreciates science-based solutions to life's problems (Science Magazine)

A witty, educational examination of 'unusual approaches to common tasks' . . . generously laced with dry humor . . . Munroe's comic stick-figure art is an added bonus. . . . Apart from generating laughter, the book also manages to achieve his serious objective: to get his audience thinking (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

A gleefully nerdy hypothetical instruction book for armchair scientists of all ages (Booklist)

An enjoyable treat for fans of logic puzzles, brain hacking, kaizen, mad science, and other forms of mental stimulation (Kirkus Reviews)

Praise for Randall Munroe: (.)

Required reading across the world (New York Times)
