As a child I had the book "What makes it go?" which was full of illustrations of how machines work: https://www.amazon.com/What-Makes-Go-Joe-Kaufman/dp/06003926

  There's a blast from the past - I had that book too and absolutely loved it. I'm glad I grew up in an era when a child had some hope of thinking they could understand all the technology around them (even though with hindsight, I know that knowledge was extremely superficial).

  Anybody here have "The Way Things Work" or "The New Way Things Work"? Haven't opened it in 20 years, but I don't think I've poured over a book the same way since. https://www.amazon.com/Way-Things-Work-David-Macaulay/dp/0395428572 https://www.amazon.com/Way-Things-Work-David-Macaulay/dp/039... https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Things-Work/dp/0395938473 https://www.amazon.com/New-Way-Things-Work/dp/0395938473
