Wittgenstein said that if people never did silly things, nothing
intelligent would ever happen. In this compelling A-Z of modern
ignorance, Stephen Bayley gathers silly, curious and sometimes
shocking facts on everything that makes our world tick. Why does
Judeo-Christianity love mountains? Why was fear of drinking from
skulls the original reason for cremation? And where does the word
f*** come from (hint: think berets)? You'll be surprised how much
you never knew!
