Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. episodes from early shows explaining methods and science behind show mythbusters mission is to expose untrue myths in a fun way. this book got a lower rating than the other books that i have rated for 3 reasons. one: the format is not as good. two: some of the myths busted are facts almost everyone knows about, and not just by watching the show. three: you do not need to read the book, just watch the show. but it as good in one way or a nother. the descriptive articals are very helpful to reading the book. also the pictures are cool too. not only that, it tells the story of the cast. It's a "novelization" of some of the early MythBusters episodes. There are things to recommend this format--price and ease of reference --but if you want the full drama, you want to watch the show, and you'll probably then find the book redundant. There was some interesting stuff about the show at the start of the book, including the biographies of Jamie and Adam, as well as the never-seen Peter Rees who apparently has great creative input into the show that watchers never knew. Wow! Hey! I fell really smart now! :D Our family loves Adam and Jamie, [i]THE Mythbusters[/i]. I don't often get to watch their show as I like to be able to pay full attention to it and not just watch sporadically and miss important points. We have it on dvd so I will begin watching it soon. Elijah and I have just finished the first of two sets of Dirty Jobs and I will pick up with Mythbusters after Dirty Jobs. What did I learn? I learned that no one is going to be killed by a penny dropped from the Empire State Bulding...even if the penny could reacht hte ground and not a lower observation deck. Oh, and I even learned I have no fear of my new boobies ever exploding mid-flight, even if there is a great pressure change in the cabin. :lol: sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The hosts of the hit television series MythBusters go behind the scenes to provide the real story of thirty of our most baffling urban legends, explaining how they use modern-day scientific principles and methods to document what is fact and what is fiction, in a volume that includes illustrations, photographs, blueprints, and interviews to document the process. Leave no urban myth untested. Could you kill someone by dropping a penny from a skyscraper? Can an unsuspecting scuba diver be sucked out of the water by a firefighting helicopter and get spit out in the middle of a forest fire? Can you save yourself in a plummeting elevator by jumping just before it hits bottom? Special effects experts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, hosts of the Discovery Channel's top-rated MythBusters, use modern-day extreme science to show you what's real and what's fiction. With photographs, illustrations, blueprints, and exclusive interviews to document the mythbusting process, MythBusters: The Explosive Truth Behind 30 of the Most Perplexing Urban Legends of All Time will examine dozens of urban legends, from exploding toilets to being buried alive -- these guys have tested them all. Eye-opening, jaw-dropping, and even laugh-inducing, this book will delight armchair scientists, curious readers, and fans of the show alike. Keith and Kent Zimmerman are the New York Times bestselling coauthors of Hell's Angel and The Best Damn Sports Book, Period, among others. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
