Even More Things That Nobody Knows: 501 Further Mysteries of Life, the Universe and Everything

by William Hartston

There are many, many more things that nobody knows...!
Why do we have five fingers? Do animals have a sense of humour? Did the universe have a beginning? What causes déjà vu? Why do cats purr? How fast did dinosaurs move?
In Even More Things That Nobody Knows , William Hartston once again explores the limits of human knowledge, revealing 501 further mysteries in subjects as diverse as cosmology, mathematics, animal behaviour, medical science, music, art, language and literature.
From the trivial to the profound, this is an enthralling and enlightening investigation into the things we just don't know, and which lurk tantalizingly beyond the bounds of our understanding.

Reviews

[Monica Albright · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hartston did an incredible amount of research to answer just about every why question a three-year-old can come up with.

Couldn't finish, not because it was bad but because it really triggered my OCD. Well written though! Don't let me review discourage you!

Hmm

A good read but I found the questions very random

[Gary Stringer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yet more fascinating things that I didn't know we didn't know. Every bit as entertaining and informative as the first book.

Filled with incredible knowledge that will change your look on the world. Chances are your general knowledge will go up to about twice the intelligence of before and this book will make a definite difference in knowledge KaHoots and other quizzes!

boring af

[Wendy Lovatt]

Because this book covered a wide range of topics, I only read the ones that interested me, so I can't claim to have read the whole book. I was a little confused by the naming of a place in the world, that I thought was incorrect.
