The author covers a happily wide range of subjects, from ''the greatest slot machine cheat'' who defied odds of 230,000 to 1, to the comic confusion of ''US'' with ''Uncle Sam,'' to the ''American town names to give you the creepy crawlies'' like Black Gnat, Kentucky. Meticulously fact-checked, this book brings the minutiae of a culture and country into sharp focus. The perfect road-trip companion, Everything You Didn't Need to Know About the USA is crammed with weird and wacky facts about every state in the union.'' ID: mon0000121986"

Karen Farrington Historical Atlas of Religions
Mercury Books 2006 1904668135 / 9781904668138 Hardcover New
"From the dawn of mankind’s imagination, we have sought the favour of elemental powers and attempted to appease them with worship and sacrifice. The story of religion is one of learning to live with evolving social structures and determining how faith can provide a structure of beliefs through which we can deal with the world around us. In Historical Atlas of Religions, Karen Farrington shows how different cultures’ beliefs evolved, how their influence spread, and where they came into conflict with each other. The book is not partisan: its aims are to enlighten and not to preach, and to put each religion into its own proper context. Historical Atlas of Religions is a delightful encyclopedia of human spiritual endeavor from the earliest forms of animism to the established faiths of modern times. ID: mon0000121192"
