摘要
In the New York Times bestseller Everything All at Once, Bill Nye shows you how thinking like a nerd is the key to changing yourself and the world around you. Everyone has an inner nerd just waiting to be awakened by the right passion. In Everything All at Once, Bill Nye will help you find yours. With his call to arms, he wants you to examine every detail of the most difficult problems that look unsolvable-that is, until you find the solution. Bill shows you how to develop critical thinking skills and create change, using his "everything all at once" approach that leaves no stone unturned. Whether addressing climate change, the future of our society as a whole, or personal success, or stripping away the mystery of fire walking, there are certain strategies that get results- looking at the world with relentless curiosity, being driven by a desire for a better future, and being willing to take the actions needed to make change happen. He shares how he came to create this approach-starting with his Boy Scout training (it turns out that a practical understanding of science and engineering is immensely helpful in a capsizing canoe) and moving through the lessons he learned as a full-time engineer at Boeing, a stand-up comedian, CEO of The Planetary Society, and, of course, as Bill Nye The Science Guy. This is the story of how Bill Nye became Bill Nye and how he became a champion of change and an advocate of science. It's how he became The Science Guy. Bill teaches us that we have the power to make real change. Join him in... dare we say it... changing the world.

Bow-tied nerd superhero Nye (Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World, 2015, etc.) serves up a tasty combination of memoir and manifesto.When he was a kid, writes the author, ever engagingly, it was said that the party didn't start "until Bill gets out the dictionary." A dogged pursuer of what some might call trivia and others the marrow of the universe, Nye loved physics, mathematics, and astronomy as well as geography, language, and literature. In short, he became an adept and enthusiast for knowledge writ large, leading him here to proselytize for "a worldview that involves gathering as much information as possible and being constantly on the lookout for ways to use it for the greater good." The commonweal aspect will sound suspiciously lefty to the climate change deniers and creationists in the audience, but Nye is quite serious; it's not enough, he writes, to geek out about comic-book characters and the changing details of the starship Enterprise over time, not when there are massive problems that only sharp, science-minded people can solve. Throughout the book, the author peppers the narrative with his own various engagements at the places where science and the political sphere meet, from his attendance at the very first Earth Day to his realization, while studying the deadly shortcuts of automakers in engineering school, that planning is the horse that pulls the cart: "A good design doesn't guarantee a great product, because there are plenty of places to go wrong in execution; but you will never, ever have a great product without a very good design." His objections notwithstanding, there are plenty of moments of geeking out in Nye's booke.g., his discussion of the exciting future of self-driven cars and how to apply the principles of good design to save the planet from ourselves. Just the vade mecum for the smart teenager in the family and eminently pleasing reading for grown-up nerds as well. Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

Still popular three decades after its inception, Bill Nye the Science Guy turned its eponym into a celebrity. The show's origin forms one of many autobiographical anecdotes Nye shares in a work that stands, overall, as his call for action against climate change. Had he stuck with his career in mechanical engineering, Nye's views would not likely enjoy their large potential audience; as it was, in youth he performed stand-up comedy, which sinuously led to the Science Guy persona. It animates these pages still; with humor, Nye espouses his earnest convictions about the importance of rational, scientific thinking, which he asserts repeatedly is under attack from deniers of climate change. Describing numerous instances from his family and professional life, in which he solved problems with methodical logic, Nye avers that the same approach must prevail lest humanity and the environment fall into crisis and catastrophe. Nye also expounds his view of the U.S. Constitution, his prediction of self-driving electric cars, engineering details about his sartorial trademark, the bow tie, and support for space programs and renewable energy.--Taylor, Gilbert Copyright 2017 Booklist
