Review: Gift for my H.S. Grandson,he loves it. - Full of interesting facts
Review: A massive book with an amazing amount of great information! - I’ve only spot read some of this book since there are 1320 pages including indices, so I can only rate my first impression. But, WOW, what a treasure trove of information! It covers so many areas that it is practically mind-boggling. I checked out some areas I knew well and sure enough, there was information I didn’t know about them. I am truly impressed. If you enjoy learning this book will be a real treat. Add to what you already think you know or go off into a new area. Either way, you’ll enjoy this mighty tome! Top marks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No guessing anymore!
*by K***E on October 16, 2012*

In the days of search engines, it is a delight to find a book that has tons of the kind of information you once knew but can't recall. Though probably not designed this way, I found it a delight to read it as a novel. I would look up a concept, find it, get my answer, then continue reading that section and a few pages forward of where I started. It will be a gift for those who just don't want to "search" for every answer, but who still enjoys the joy of reading.
