NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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. You’ll be surprised at how much you don’t know! Check out The Book of General Ignorance for more fun entries and complete answers to the following:

How long can a chicken live without its head?
About two years.

What do chameleons do?
They don’t change color to match the background. Never have; never will. Complete myth. Utter fabrication. Total Lie. They change color as a result of different emotional states.

Not a hundred.

How many toes has a two-toed sloth?
It’s either six or eight.

Who was the first American president?
Peyton Randolph.

Excellent compilation of misconceptions. One thing I can guarantee for any reader is that you will learn something new from this book. What I found most appealing was that the questions were not just answered, rather, they were contextualized. This includes the origins of the misconceptions along with the reasons that the myths carried on through time. This book is a compilation, not a story, so you can skip questions if the topic does not interest you. The questions span across a wide number of fields including: historical, science, religion, culture, and more. If you enjoy learning and knowing cool facts, I would definitely recommend this book.

Interesting. Very interesting reading.
