A New York Times Bestseller Explainer-in-Chief David Macaulay updates the worldwide bestseller The New Way Things Work to capture the latest developments in the technology that most impacts our lives. Famously packed with information on the inner workings of everything from windmills to Wi-Fi, this extraordinary and humorous book both guides readers through the fundamental principles of machines, and shows how the developments of the past are building the world of tomorrow. This sweepingly revised edition embraces all of the latest developments, from touchscreens to 3D printer. Each scientific principle is brilliantly explained--with the help of a charming, if rather slow-witted, woolly mammoth. An illustrated survey of significant inventions closes the book, along with a glossary of technical terms, and an index. What possible link could there be between zippers and plows, dentist drills and windmills? Parking meters and meat grinders, jumbo jets and jackhammers, remote control and rockets, electric guitars and egg beaters? Macaulay explains them all.Binding Type: Hardcover

Accurate
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size
Just place it on the counter, press the power button, and you’re ready to weigh ingredients instantly. The digital display is clear and easy to read, and switching between grams and ounces is fast and intuitive which makes it great whether I’m following recipes or tracking portions for meal planning.
The weighing platform is spacious enough to fit bowls, plates, or containers and the scale is impressively accurate even with small amounts like spices or coffee grounds. I’ve used it for baking precise measurements, prepping meal portions for a keto plan, and tracking food for weight‑loss goals, and it performs consistently every time.
It also has useful features like a tare function which lets you subtract the weight of your container so you only measure what matters. The scale feels sturdy and well‑made yet still lightweight and easy to store when not in use.
Overall this Etekcity food scale is a fantastic value and a must‑have for anyone serious about cooking, baking, or healthy living. I’ll definitely be using it for years and would buy it again without hesitation.

Great Kitchen Purchase
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size, Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size
I didn’t realize how much I needed a kitchen scale until I got this. It’s really accurate and makes cooking (especially baking) so much easier and more consistent.
The tare function is a game changer—you can zero out the bowl and keep adding ingredients without extra measuring cups. It’s also easy to switch between grams and ounces, which is great for following different recipes. Most digital scales measure very precisely, often down to about 1 gram, which makes a big difference for accuracy.
It’s compact, easy to clean, and doesn’t take up much space on the counter. Overall, such a simple tool but makes a big difference—definitely worth having in any kitchen.

Great little scale!
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size
Love this little guy! It's small I use it for all my meals. When in a rush I can just toss it in my lunch box and use it at work. Super convenient. It sits on my counter no bigger than a side plate. Worth the money!

Food scale
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size, Color: Stainless Steel, Size: Medium Size
This product is worth the price. The only thing is that it kind of doesn’t work sometimes when you are trying to switch the unit and you might have to double click (as shown in my video) other than that the product works perfect for measuring my food and even my liquids. It’s the perfect size not too big and bulky but it also isn’t that small. As you can see in my picture it’s small enough to fit in my drawer (I don’t like to leave it on my counter) it’s a tiny bit bigger than an Alexa.i also like that the price isn’t to high . I would definitely recommend this product! It’s a sturdy product it doesn’t move when you’re putting any items on it. It’s easy to clean off as well. Another thing is it takes batteries ( it takes AAA batteries, just 2 of them) and I liked how it came with batteries inside of them already .
