This book is better put-together than many others in it's genre, and if you have a hankering for one of those odd facts type books, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better rendition than this one. It is organized into encyclopedia-type entries that present stories about some unusual features of our world, and I wish I could come up with a more precise area of focus to describe. It covers wonders of the natural world, great human achievements, eccentric people, unsolved mysteries, outer space, and inventions that point toward the future, among other things. Each entry is very well written and succinct, and every page has some illustrations or photographs that help to bring the subject to life.
