    Carefully pitched at children aged five and over, the facts in the book are presented in a lively style.

    

    Obvious facts sometimes have a tendency to remain unperceived. "Everyday Wonders" makes the invisible visible by reminding us that we live out our lives against a wonderful tapestry of astonishing phenomena.

    The most complete and up-to-date source for everything there is to know and learn about Disney history, animation, films, and miscellany.

    Because Joel Achenbach, the intrepid syndicated columnist for The Washington Post, did not rest after answering the great questions of the day in Why Things Are. Here comes Volume II -- a book that provides not only astonishing facts about the worlds of science, politics, history, art, love and sex, but also the Big Picture as well. You'll be stunned, amazed, and hey, even smarter when you read the answers to these timeless questions:-- Why does time speed up as we get older?-- Why is Citizen Kane considered the best film of all time?-- Why do horrible songs like "The Candy Man" and "Kung Fu Fighting" get stuck in your head, until finally you want to throw yourself off a bridge (over troubled water)?-- Why is it better to slice a sandwich diagonally, rather than straight across?-- Why is love so difficult?-- Why are politicians always getting into sex scandals?-- Why doesn't a black hole somewhere get so big and powerful that it eventually goes sklurrp! and sucks the entire galaxy, including planet earth, into its dreadful maw?

    This enormous collection of almost one thousand pages contains the four previously published bestselling titles, " A Hog on Ice, Thereby Hangs, A Tale, Heavens to Betsy" ! and "Horsefeathers."

    Over 110,000 such facts from 1,008 of America's shows are here, including rare information on lost and forgotten series such as Jackson and Jill, A Date with Judy, and many others. Each entry provides (in addition to all the "facts") the principal cast, networks, broadcast dates, and theme song credits. Many also include such credits as who played the main characters relatives, actors who performed flashback or flashforward roles, and unaired pilot information such as who was originally cast in the series. Thoroughly indexed.

    In 1991, when Sports Illustrated published its first special issue celebrating "yesterday's heroes, " Red Grange, "An Original Superstar, " was featured on the cover. A three-time All-American at the University of Illinois in 1923-25, Grange scored 31 touchdowns and ran for 3,637 yards in three eight-game seasons. In 1924 he gave what many consider to be the greatest single-game performance in the history of college football. Playing before 67,000 fans on the dedication day of Illinois' new Memorial Stadium, Grange scored four touchdowns in the first twelve minutes of play, ran for a fifth touchdown in the third quarter, and passed for a sixth touchdown in the final period. When Grange joined the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day 1925, five days after his last college game, it marked the turning point for professional football. His enormous popularity and drawing power became the force that was to transform the NFL into a major sports attraction. This is the first paperback edition of Grange's autobiography, originally published in 1953 and praised by Robert Cromie of the Chicago Tribune as "the literary equivalent of a perfectly planned and executed touchdown march." Illustrated with more than a dozen photographs, it includes a new introduction and afterword by Ira Morton.
