Description
Facts at your Fingertips is the answer. It is a distillation of all the most asked and most useful facts about the world. It is a book that smelts the pure gold of real knowledge from mountains of informational slag. It is the sensible first port of call before you turn on your computer or go down to the library, because nine times out of ten it will save you the trouble.
What is a fact? There is more than one kind of fact in the world, and this is reflected in the book. Some facts are measurable, like the height of Everest (page 50); some are grounded in historical evidence, like the dates for the reign of King Richard III (page 598); some are scientifically provable, like the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder (page 519); some are matters of accepted scholarship, like the reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire (page 175).
