Sinopsis
The bell goes for last orders and you still haven't sorted out whether or not flamingos are pink because of their diet or if Lady Godiva really rode through the streets of Coventry naked? The Pedant's Revolt is the ultimate go-to book for settling many an unresolved dispute, shedding light on a wide range of facts that we have always believed to be true, but which are, in fact, completely false. The book covers a wide range of diverse topics, from history to science, the arts, the animal kingdom, medicine, the human body, and food and drink. Presenting its well-researched facts in a highly accessible and entertaining manner, this intriguing book sets the record straight, exposing misconceptions that have become entrenched in everyday thought.

Acerca del autor
Author and freelance technical writer Andrea Barham is the acceptable face of pedantry: while she is a big fan of the world, she feels there should be less wrongness and more rightness in it. Painfully aware of her inability to correct the bigger issues such as war, poverty and global warming, she is concentrating on smaller issues, more suited to her skills, which consist of 'looking stuff up'. By correcting common misconceptions, such as the belief that your heart stops when you sneeze, she is hoping that this will have a knock-on effect and eventually all wrongs will be righted, but she is not holding her breaths (which, incidentally, one cannot die from, as is commonly believed). Please support her crusade. The Pedant's Revolt is her fifth book.

Hardback. Condición: Used. "The Pedant's Revolt: Why Most Things You Think Are Right Are Wrong" by Andrea Barham is an engaging exploration of common myths and misconceptions across various fields, including literature, history, science, and language. The book aims to debunk widely held beliefs by presenting factual corrections in an entertaining manner. For instance, it clarifies that lead pencils cannot cause lead poisoning, Newton's discovery of gravity wasn't prompted by an apple falling on his head, and the phrase "Let them eat cake" is misattributed to Marie Antoinette. Each chapter addresses different themes, providing readers with insights that challenge accepted wisdom and encourage critical thinking. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2706
