520    "How Technology Works demystifies the machinery that keeps
       the modern world going, from simple objects such as zip 
       fasteners and can openers to the latest, most 
       sophisticated devices of the information age, including 
       smartwatches, personal digital assistants, and driverless 
       cars. It includes inventions that have changed the course 
       of history, like the internal combustion engine, as well 
       as technologies that might hold the key to our future 
       survival, including solar cells and new kinds of farming 
       to feed a growing population. Throughout the book, step-by
       -step explanations are supported by simple and original 
       graphics that take devices apart and show you how they 
       work. The opening chapter explains principles that 
       underpin lots of devices, from basic mechanics to 
       electricity to digital technology. From there, devices are
       grouped by application-such as the home, transportation, 
       and computing-making them easy to find and placing similar
       devices side by side"--|cPublisher's description.
