An Incomplete Education by Judy Jones

An Incomplete Education: 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned But Probably Didn't, by Judy Jones and William Wilson, reviewed by Bruce Armstrong, Claytor Branch
Ballantine Books, 2006, $35.00, 699 pages

Here is a book that is larger than normal. It is a weighty book in information, and it is also heavy to carry. It is chuck full of useful trivia (is there really such a thing as useful trivia?). There are all sorts of fun facts about almost anything that is offered in a college education. It offers a quick summary of all the major milestones of knowledge since the Ancient Greeks that you should know, but probably did not learn. This is good fun for serious readers.
