A how-to is an informal, often short, description of how to accomplish a specific task. A how-to is usually meant to help non-experts, may leave out details that are only important to experts, and may also be greatly simplified from an overall discussion of the topic. One of the earliest how-to books was published in 1569 by Thomas Wight and entitled, ''A booke ohrijf the arte and maner, how to plant and graffe all sortes of trees: With divers other new practise, by one of the Abbey of Saint Vincent in Fraunce'' by Leonard Mascall. ==Modern examples== In the modern era How-to can range from brief directions that aid in performing a task with which one is unfamiliar to full-length books, generally intended to assist or inspire life-changing methods and attitudes. They occur in the "self-help" genre, business books, and the hobby industry. Perhaps the best known full-length book in the genre is ''How to Win Friends and Influence People'', written by Dale Carnegie in 1936. A similar concept can be seen in many of the ''() For Dummies'' series of tutorials and also in many other introductory surveys entitled with the suffix "101" (based on academic numberings of entry-level courses). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「How-to」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
