The Way Things Work (1988)
Book
Published
Some mechanisms are much easier to understand when somebody draws them properly. Macaulay's cutaways and visual jokes make this an unusually inviting introduction to mechanical principles, for adults as well as children. The original's computing material is dated; its explanations of gears, levers and moving parts remain the reason to read it.
