New book by Randall Munroe in Sep

John Murray, an imprint of John Murray Press, announced a new book from bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe: ‘HOW TO: Absurd Scientific Advice for Common Real-World Problems’. A former NASA roboticist, Munroe is the creator and brilliant mind behind the wildly popular ‘xkcd’, a stick-figure webcomic read by millions of fans each week about science, technology, and the absurdities of the modern world.

‘HOW TO’ features Munroe’s iconic stick figure illustrations and deeply researched scientific thoughts, providing readers with the world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide. For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. ‘HOW TO’ is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.

‘HOW TO’ will be published in India on September 3 by Hachette India.
