General Culture: Mr. Know it all's Miscellanea
$13.11
Sometimes funny, sometimes twisted or even scary, these small and large facts of general culture are to be read everywhere, all the time.
Science, history, literature, news, these "miscellanea" gather dozens of facts without any apparent link between them. Except for... you and me, dear Reader, who will be united by this book. Culture is a great thing !
And Culture is a weapon of massive reconstruction. Did you know that Descartes had a daughter? Did you know that Martin Luther King almost never uttered his famous "I have a dream"? Why is "Bluetooth" called "Bluetooth"? Are there plots that eventually turned out to be facts? Can an Airbus plane turn into a boat? Can one die of heartache? What is the form of Randomness? Why does time seem to speed up as we age? Can plants hear us? Was Pythagoras a funny guy? Can we take control of our dreams? Who is right, the optimist or the pessimist? And by the way, do you prefer "being happy" or "being right"? On the train, in the bath, in the toilet, in the toilet on the train, you can take this little collection of knowledge everywhere with you, and even read it in case of a power failure, if only you can light a candle. These little texts go in all directions, but they will give you a lot of pleasure. Because to fill yourself with knowledge is to chase away the emptiness and the gloom to make room for Joy.
The joy of knowing.
And the more you know, the less you will be afraid. Dear Reader, I promise you that.
