Synopsis
Eccentrically - indeed, irresponsibly - compiled, packed with bizarre ideas, hopeless theories, impossible dreams, preposterous statements, loony prophecies, mad scientists, demented technicians, useless inventions, and much of the often deranged history of our planet, A Shite History of Nearly Everything doesn't just challenge our view of the history of the world; it challenges our very sanity!
Customer Reviews
Very Good Read
I was completely surprised by this book. I thought it would be a parody of "a short history of time" or just a bunch of jokes about what history has conjured up.
It isnt, it is an excellent book of facts and comment about creation, the earth, inventions, art, sport, religion, travel, armageddon and much more.
The facts are really very interesting and the anecdotes and comments even more so.
A very good read.
Instructive
The book is packed with little facts that might not all be relevant, but that are always interesting and fun if you're a trivia lover. I couldn't put this book down and almost read it all in one sitting.
