Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 我先来:《万物运转的秘密》(http://www.amazon.com/dp/0395428572/),其实大卫·麦考利的几乎任何书都行(http://www.amazon.com/David-MacAulay/e/B000AP72G0/)。还有H.A.雷伊(《好奇的乔治》作者)写的《星星:看它们的新方法》……

    I'll start: The Way Things Work (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0395428572/) and pretty much any book by David Macaulay (http://www.amazon.com/David-MacAulay/e/B000AP72G0/) The Stars, A New Way to See Them, by HA Rey (author of Curious George)…

  • 麦考利还画了《万物运转的秘密》https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/304889.The_Way_Things_Wo... 那本书当年真的深深启发了12岁的我。

    Macaulay made "the way things work" too https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/304889.The_Way_Things_Wo... that book really inspired 12yr old me.

  • 没错,麦考利的《万物运转的秘密》是一本绝妙的好书。他年纪比你想象的可能要大一点。他弟弟妹妹也喜欢那本书。图书馆基本是我度过大半生的地方,我绝对喜欢……

    Yes, Macaulay's _The Way Things Work_ is a wonderful book. He's a little bit older than I think you may have guessed he is. His younger siblings like that book too. Libraries in general are where I spend much of my life. I definitely like…

  • ……对某些人来说肯定是的,就像对某些人来说汽车“仅仅”是代步工具一样。电脑是帮我们保持好奇心与惊叹的工具,书也是。你没必要非得能把《小王子》或《万物运转的秘密》编成程序,才能体会到它们带来的惊奇。电脑是帮我们探索未知的工具,而我妈却在纳闷为什么她每次想查个邮件电脑就死机。我试着跟她解释这有多重要……

    …Surely it is for some, just as for some it is "merely" a tool for transportation. A computer is a tool that helps us wonder. So is a book. You don't have to be able to program The Little Prince or The Way Things Work in order for it to help you wonder. A computer is a tool that helps us wonder. And my mom wonders why it keeps crashing when she tries to check her email. I tried to explain how important it was that…

  • > 把 STEM 和 7 岁放在同一句话里让我很难受 为什么?有些面向 7 岁小孩的科普书写得相当棒。在英国,7 岁孩子已经在学校里学科学和数学了。比如《万物运转的秘密》https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0241227933/、《如果……》https://www.amazon.co.uk/If-Mind-Bending-Looking-Ideas-Numbe...、《身体大百科》https://www.amazon.co.uk/Awesome-Body-Book-Adam-Frost/dp/140... 只是……

    > STEM and 7 in the same sentence make me sad Why? there are some excellent non-fiction for 7 year olds. In UK 7 year olds are learning science and math in school. eg The Way Things Work https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0241227933/ If... https://www.amazon.co.uk/If-Mind-Bending-Looking-Ideas-Numbe... The Awesome Body Book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Awesome-Body-Book-Adam-Frost/dp/140... Just…

  • 麦考利那本书叫《万物运转的秘密》。我小时候也爱惨了——简直是不可思议的艺术品。我坚信每个孩子都该拥有一本。真好奇它启发了多少人走上 STEM 职业道路。你记混名字也很正常,毕竟……

    Macaulay's book was titled "The Way Things Work". I too loved it as a kid - what an incredible piece of art. I firmly believe every child should have a copy. One wonders how many STEM careers it provoked. Your name confusion is understandable, as…
