With Neil Ardley. Last revised in 1998 as The New Way Things Work, this new edition of Macaulay's 1988 classic The Way Things Work brings us into the smartphone era. While the chapter on "the digital domain" receives the most new material, there is new information in many chapters (e.g., the jump jet replaced by the quadcopter); color has been added and refreshed throughout.
