THE COMPLEAT THUNKS BOOK
Book ID/图书代码： 03480517C00007
English Summary/英文概要： In The Compleat Thunks Book Ian Gilbert brings together classic Thunks from a number of his books, as well as hundreds of new ones, all designed to make your brain hurt as you think, question, debate and argue your way to a better understanding of how to survive in a world gone dangerously bonkers.
We are living in an age in which facts don t count, certainty no longer exists and complexity means we never quite know what just happened, let alone what will happen next. To better prepare ourselves for such a world, we need a brain workout that isn t so much about finding answers as getting our heads around questions.
We need The Compleat Thunks Book: a collection of beguiling questions about everyday things that stop you in your tracks and help you start to look at the world in a whole new light. At times controversial and often provocative, Ian Gilbert s brainteasers are sure to stimulate philosophical enquiry and debate during the thinking, reasoning, logic or panic employed in arriving at (or deviating from) the answers and conversations that ensue. In other words, it s not about the answers at all and, as in life, there are none at the back of the book.
Covering as wide a variation of topics as possible from love and lies to parking a car and molesting robots The Compleat Thunks Book will appeal to people of all ages, tastes and prejudices, and can be used to steer pub, dinner party or family discussions away from the same old topics.
Some of these Thunks were previously published in The Book of Thunks, ISBN 978-184590092-2, The Little Book of Thunks, ISBN 978-184590062-5, and Independent Thinking, ISBN 978-178135055-3. Thunks is a registered trademark of Independent Thinking Ltd.
Parental Advisory: A few of these Thunks are unsuitable for use with children.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在《不确定》这本书中，伊恩•吉尔伯特汇集了他的书以及数以百计的新书，这些所有的设计让你的大脑像你想象的伤害，问题，辩论和争论你如何更好的理解生存在这样一个疯狂的世界的危险性。
我们生活在一个事无定论的世界，其中的复杂性意味着我们永远不知道刚刚发生了什么，更不用说接下来会发生什么。为了更好地为这样一个世界做好准备，我们需要的不是寻找答案，而是思考问题。
我们需要这本书：一本关于日常事物的有趣问题集，它能让你停下脚步，帮助你从一个全新的角度看待世界。伊恩•吉尔伯特的脑筋急转弯肯定会在思考、推理、逻辑或恐慌中激发哲学探索和辩论，从而得出(或偏离)随之而来的答案和对话。换句话说，它根本不是关于答案的，就像在生活中一样，在书的后面没有答案。
覆盖尽可能变化的主题从爱和谎言到调戏机器人，《不确定 》将会吸引各个年龄层的人，品味和偏见，并可以用来引导酒吧、宴会或家庭远离老话题的讨论。
其中一些之前发表在《不确定》(ISBN 978-184590092-2)、《不确定小手册》(ISBN 978-184590062-5)和《独立思考》(ISBN 978-178135055-3)中。Thunks(不确定）是独立思考有限公司的注册商标。
家长建议：其中一些（不确定）是不适合儿童的。（WYL）
Awards/获奖情况：”伊恩•吉尔伯特是否比他应该的更理智?他的疯狂收藏会让我们变得更冷静吗?他能看到一开始就没有的东西吗》？这本书可能会告诉读者更多关于他们自己的信息，而不是他们已经知道的。我当然推荐它。”——强尼•鲍尔，电视节目主持人，科学爱好者
“想象一下这样一个世界：成功不是正确地回答问题，而是勇敢地接受这个问题，允许一点小小的格斗发展成一场全面的摔跤比赛，然后停下来只是大声嘲笑自己，然后找到新的领域。那是一本完整的书。它允许，不，积极地鼓励你在表达观点的过程中改变主意!这是完美的。”—贾兹•安波-法尔 Why First公司的董事，演讲者和学徒候选人
“这本书是关于发展智慧的。读者需要暂停、思考和分析自己的想法，然后才能得出结论。在这个充斥着虚假信息的现代世界，这一技能对成功至关重要。还有战士、战略家和你。”
Is Ian Gilbert saner than he ought to be? Is his collection of madness liable to make us all more level-headed? Can he see what was never there in the first place? The Compleat Thunks Book might well tell the reader more about themselves than they already knew. I certainly recommend it. --Johnny Ball, TV presenter and science enthusiast
Imagine a world where success isn t getting the answer right, but rather being brave enough to take on the question allowing a little grapple to develop into a full-on wrestling match before pausing only to laugh out loud at yourself and subsequently find new ground. That s The Compleat Thunks Book. It allows, no, actively encourages you to change your mind in the middle of making a point! It s perfect for getting people off automatic using gentle poking. --Jaz Ampaw-Farr, Director, Why First Ltd, speaker and The Apprentice candidate
This book is about developing wisdom. The reader is required to pause, think and analyse their thoughts before coming to a conclusion a skill that will be essential for success in the modern world, where we are inundated with false information --Floyd Woodrow, author of Elite! and The Warrior, the Strategist and You
