Amazing submitted by Zhengyang1022 on July 27, 2012, 4:07pm In this book, you learn about how our modern machines work, and why they work.

Humorous and Informative submitted by andy101 on June 23, 2013, 9:28pm If you're looking for a basic understanding of machines, from simple pulleys to digital cameras, this book is for you! Macaulay demonstrates how machines work and organizes the book in such a way that the reader can easily follow scientific concepts from one machine to the next. His humorous illustrations depict a woolly mammoth trying to live in a world filled with advanced human technologies and small human beings interacting with the individual pieces of particular devices. Macaulay provides lots of well-drawn diagrams and brief captions that describe how the machine works. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to improve their basic understanding of everyday machines.
