Even More Things That Nobody Knows: 501 Further Mysteries of Life, the Universe and Everything - Softcover
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 Knows, 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.

Review:
"Each mystery is delightfully penned in bite-sized chunks that often includes humorous repertoire. . . highly enjoyable. . . Captivating and inspiring." —New Scientist
"Properly researched, and the elegance of its pop-cosmology or pop-biology mini-narratives rivals that of many specialists. It is slyly witty, and pleasingly optimistic." —Guardian
"Discovering the many undiscovered things that one thought had been discovered already is one of the joys of this book. . . You might have thought that wallowing in ignorance is a tedious and fruitless occupation. As Hartston proves entertainingly, how wrong you could be." —Daily Express
