Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought the first "How Stuff Works" for my son. He is into the hows and whys of almost everything and he enjoyed the book very much. So when he asked for "More How Stuff Works", I got it without hesitation. This second book includes a lot of material that are now part of our everyday life. Even my husband and I found it useful when we had to open my computer to reset a jumper and we found what the jumper looked and where it is in the computer. I encourage adults to read this book, too. It's not full of technical jargon so it's real easy to understand.
