Thank goodness \u003ci\u003exkcd\u003c\/i\u003e creator Randall Munroe is here to help. Planning to ride a fire pole from the Moon back to Earth? The hardest part is sticking the landing. Hoping to cool the atmosphere by opening everyone s freezer door at the same time? Maybe it s time for a brief introduction to thermodynamics. Want to know what would happen if you rode a helicopter blade, built a billion-story building, made a lava lamp out of lava, or jumped on a geyser as it erupted? Okay, if you insist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore you go on a cosmic road trip, feed the residents of New York City to a T. rex, or fill every church with bananas, be sure to consult this practical guide for impractical ideas. Unfazed by absurdity, Munroe consults the latest research on everything from swing-set physics to airliner catapult design to answer his readers  questions, clearly and concisely, with illuminating and occasionally terrifying illustrations. As he consistently demonstrates, you can learn a lot from examining how the world might work in very specific extreme circumstances.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRandall Munroe\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eWhat If? 2, How To\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhat If?\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThing Explainer\u003c\/i\u003e; the science question-and-answer blog \u003ci\u003eWhat If?\u003c\/i\u003e; and the popular web comic \u003ci\u003exkcd\u003c\/i\u003e.
