Sinopse
Hungry for a treasure trove of weird and wonderful facts beyond your wildest imagination? Then keep on reading…
Did you know that trees collaborate, communicate, and engage in chemical warfare?
Or that humans are better at smelling rain than sharks are at smelling blood?
Sometimes, life gets boring. Your sense of wonder often gets lost in a pile of chores, paperwork, and obligations.
With tons of boredom-busting facts and mysteries about plants, animals, history, space travel, and everything in between, you have a set of fail-safe conversation starters up your sleeve.
So, if you want to find out…
- Why some people believe their families have been replaced by impostors
- How tens of thousands of fireflies can synchronize with each other to blink in unison
Then this book is here to satisfy your curiosity.
In this enthralling collection of 60 fascinating, bizarre, and entertaining phenomena, you’ll discover:
- The creature that never dies — it just goes back to the juvenile stage and starts all over again
- How a slimy glob of single-celled organisms can remember, learn, and transfer knowledge
- When science-fiction turns into real-life horror — how a fungus takes over ants’ bodies and turns them into zombies
- The story of the “dancing plague” that swept through Europe 500 years ago, leaving people dead from exhaustion
- The country where you can pay someone to apologize for you, or even quit your job
- The mechanics of black holes and the possibility of “white holes”… places where time runs backward
And so much more.
This isn’t just any old collection of recycled factoids and half-true anecdotes — all of the information has been carefully curated, thoroughly researched, and fact-checked.
So, what are you waiting for?
