It's incredible how certain ideas and "facts" enter into popular culture and are endlessly reinforced, repeated and promoted. There are certain statements that everyone just knows to be "true". We all "know", for instance, that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made object that can be seen from space or that Eskimo's have 100 words for snow... but are these "facts" really true?!
This extremely entertaining book really proves that everything you thought you knew is wrong!
