   Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.   ) kmgarcia | Apr 13, 2010 |   ) cotton.aj | Nov 15, 2008 | This book takes just about every strange, interesting, and downright creepy thing that you never knew you wondered about, and gives you more information on it then you ever wanted to know. Like, for instance, how much "filth" is acceptable in food per FDA standards.... it's just disgusting! And some very strange people and subjects that the FBI has investigated, as well as simpler things like quotes about Iraq and such. This book has everything! Some things, like the list about CIA plots to kill Castro, are subjects I either know nothing about or were before my time, but they are still pretty dang interesting. I really think this book is a MUST-have for anyone who loves misinformation-type books! (  ) Heather19 | Jul 21, 2008 | * It's easy to read. * It doesn't contain a lot of extraneous text. * It highlights the most important information about a topic. * It can be read in quick bursts, like in the bathroom or during commercials. * It makes you more interesting at parties. * It contains information that other people might not know. * It draws its material from subject experts that the reader might not otherwise encounter. * It relies heavily on material that is somewhat prurient (sex, drugs, rock-and-roll, etc.) This isn't going to change your life, but it would make an excellent gift.

Can you name five military leaders who were transgendered? Twelve cases of involuntary human experimentation by the U.S. government? How about the four porn novels written by famous authors, 11 books left out of the Bible and over 50 side effects of NutraSweet that have been reported to the FDA? In 1977, David Wallechinsky, Irving Wallace and Amy Wallace published The Book of Lists, causing an immediate sensation. Not only did it lead to three direct sequels (in 1980, 1983 and 1993), it also created a new genre. Soon, shelves were lined with The First Original Unexpurgated Authentic Canadian Book of Lists (1978), The Book of Sports Lists (1979) and Meredith?s Book of Bible Lists (1980), among many others. Using this popular, enduring format, Russ Kick's Disinformation Book of Lists delves into the murkier aspects of politics, current events, business, history, science, art and literature, sex, drugs, death and more. Despite such unusual subject matter, this book presents hard, substantiated facts with full references Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
