Description: For lovers of facts, students of popular culture, history buffs, and science enthusiasts, the foremost specialist on everything tells how and why hundreds of everyday items, expressions, and customs we take for granted came into existence. Learn the fascinating discovery stories behind over 500 phenomena. Isaac Asimov said this, "An extraordinary compendium. You'll be astonished an average of once per page." Extensively indexed and referenced. This was the original 1987 first edition in paperback. It has been updated and re-released at least twice since then. It is in very good condition in that there are no marks, creases, or damage. However, the pages are uniformly and significantly yellowed. Nevertheless, it is easy to read and highly legible. A FUN READ. A great book for the bedside table, the bathroom, the beach house: it's perfect for anywhere you pick up a book and turn to a few random pages.
