This handy book of useful information contains more than 1000
facts, many of which are not generally known to the average person;
but all of them are of interest to humankind, and knowledge of many
of them is essential. Fowler has used the simplest English, and has
avoided, as far as possible, all technical terms. He has endeavored
not to fall into the common error of making his explanations harder
to understand than the subjects treated. In the space of a few
hundred pages Fowler has presented the thousand or more things that
are really worth knowing. He examines everything from April Fool's
Day ("Its origin is unknown, but it is supposed to follow an
ancient pageant custom of playing tricks on the first day of
April"), to the Seven Wonders of the ancient and new worlds, to the
derivation of the term "Yankee." The book is not a mere
encyclopedia -- it is an education unto itself.
