A Shite History of Nearly Everything by A. Parody
The history of the world is littered with failed inventions, impossible schemes dead-end technologies, obsessed scientists who devoted years to theories that were never, ever, going to work, or to discoveries that were never, ever going to be made. Many of them died or were seriously injured in their quest to prove that the pursuit of knowledge very often involves the complete abandonment of common sense.
Now bestselling author A. Parody tackles the entire world of science and scientific knowledge, in an explosively funny book that doesn't just challenge readers' view of science and technology, scientists and inventors; it challenges their very sanity - and yours.
