Item description from seller

Ex-library discard with markings. ISBN 10: 0375410236 About the book: Biotechnology, computers, cell phones, and the Internet -- they're all having a major impact on our lives as the twenty-first century begins. Surrounded by today's array of new technologies, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and bewildered. For more than a century, Scientific American has made the machines and technologies that make up our world understandable. In Scientific American: How Things Work Today you'll find over 100 topics explored in easy-to-understand text and made absolutely clear with the aid of more than 600 fully annotated, three-dimensional illustrations and color photographs. Do you know where all those stairs on the escalator go when they get to the top? Did you know that every time you use a credit card the clerk bounces a signal off a satellite to get an okay for your purchase? Have you ever wondered how your e-mail gets from here to there? Or how the signal finds your cell phone when you're hundreds of miles from home? Scientific American knows, and in Scientific American: How Things Work Today, it tells and shows you how the world around you works, with three-dimensional illustrations, diagrams, and exploded views as well as up-to-the-minute color photographs. And the explanations are in the concise, understandable language that has made Scientific American the most successful popular science magazine in the world. Scientific American has been the authoritative popular source of science information about how the world works for more than 150 years. Now, in the first book based on the magazine's popular "Working Knowledge" column, Scientific American reveals exactly how the wonders of the modern world work. Assembled by a team of professional science and technology writers, Scientific American: How Things Work Today shows the hidden workings of satellites, the Space Shuttle, subways, sewers, the Internet, electron microscopes, and many of the other systems and devices that help make our world what it is and us who we are. With lavish pictures, photographs, and hundreds of explanations to how our world works, this book is an essential addition to every family's library.

Description de la boutique

I am an online seller only. I attempt to offer the best price for an item, considering rarity, costs, condition, and other factors. For USA buyers, I figure media shipping into the price. However, I do not have a bulk mailing license (at least yet) like many big online sellers do. I mail USPS media rate unless you request priority--with an added mailing costs. Unfortunately, the USPS media shipping costs have gone up multiple times in the last couple of years. In some cases, it cost more to ship the book media rate than the actual cost of the book itself. You may ask why buy from someone who does not use bulk shipping rates? CARE IN CATALOGUING BOOKS In short, because you get a better quality service. Many bulk sellers may sell the book cheaper (especially if they can bulk ship it) but most do not take the time to list book conditions carefully or add photos. So you are often buying a book without a good idea of what its condition is. They often say things like "may contain markings and other defects or be a library discard." We take care in listing and take a look inside and outside the book, noting any defects in the description. If it is a hardback we note conditions of the dust jacket, and in some cases fix deteriorating dust jackets. We also repair books if needed; if not, we describe the repair needed. If there is not a stock photo of the book or our book differs from the stock photo, we provide a photo of the book. In some case, we provide multiple photos. We often provide copies of tables of contents or book reviews (about the book notes). CARE IN MAILING Many bulk seller, take little effort in mailing your book. Some put them in a thin plastic mailing bag that may arrive with tears in the bag. We take care in shipping, and we wrap all books (except small brochure and paper) in butcher paper and a tight layer of mailing tape on top so the book has little chance of arriving damaged. Pricier and more delicate older books are mailed in cartons and also wrapped in butcher paper. The books are mailed individually and not in bulk rate, which in itself helps preclude damage in shipping. IN SHORT--BETTER SERVICE FOR A LITTLE MORE IN COST As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for. We would like to work with you and gain your trust. We accept returns and will answer any inquires by email, mail, or phone (text or voice). Thank you for reading this. Frank (sunalso)
