How It Works The Annual Volume 13

Welcome to the How It Works Annual volume 13, a carefully curated compilation of our favourite new How It Works features. As ever, they’re packed with eye-catching illustrations, expert interviews, and filled with mind-blowing facts. We’ve cherry-picked the topics we think you will love from across our six categories - science, environment, technology, history, space, and transport. Discover 10 weird things about your brain and the strange ways your mind works, what would happen if the the Earth was a flat disc rather than a sphere, explore the scientific reasons behind UFO sightings and discover objects we’ve spotted in the sky that we genuinely have no explanation for, then delve into the incredible, tiny worlds of both nanotechnology and quantum computing. Also: what makes chillis spicy, inside an Atari 2600 video games console, how the Statue of Liberty was built, how an electric kettle works, and loads more. It’s feast of fascinating and fact-packed features - enjoy!
