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. Do animals have a sense of humor? Why do we have five fingers? How long can humans live? What did Jesus do in his youth? Which speech did Lincoln deliver at Gettysburg? Does the appendix have any use? Is there an odd perfect number? In this witty and enlightening follow-up to  The Things that Nobody Know s, William Hartston takes us on a guided tour of 501 further gaps in our knowledge of cosmology, mathematics, animal behavior, medical science, music, art, and literature.

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!

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.
