More How Stuff Works
By Marshall Brain
This book is kind of wordy--kind of like a textbook--but it's so great!
The diagrams and pictures are interesting and detailed, and you can learn about everything from artificial hearts to screensavers, and everything in between. Ever wondered about how snow makers make fake snow? What's up with black holes? How an espresso maker functions? Nuclear bombs? Webcams? If so, this is the book for you. Actually, I'd be willing to bet there's something for everybody in this one.
