Bol A complaint preserved in clay. An object that found a new line of work. A legend so neat that somebody had to take it apart. The Throne of Knowledge brings together 900 short stories for anyone who enjoys the detail that makes the ordinary strange. Twenty chapters wander through science, history, animals, the body, words, inventions, food and sport, with context and a wry sense of humour. Open it wherever you like: each story stands on its own and leaves you something to share at the next dinner. Every story has its note and its source in the bibliography, and a whole chapter is given over to the myths you were told, taken apart gently, with close attention to what the evidence actually supports. For your reading breaks, or as a gift for a curious mind. Take a seat: there's plenty to talk about.
