Misconceptions, misunderstandings, and flawed facts finally get the heave-ho in
this humorous, downright humiliating book of reeducation based on the phenomenal
British bestseller. Challenging what most of us assume to be verifiable truths
in areas like history, literature, science, nature, and more, The Book of
General Ignorance is a witty gotcha compendium of how little we actually know
about anything. It'll have you scratching your head wondering why we even bother
to go to school.
Think Magellan was the first man to circumnavigate the globe, baseball was
invented in America, Henry VIII had six wives, Mount Everest is the tallest
mountain? Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong again.
