Description:
For years, fans of Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader have said that their favorite part of our books is the short articles. So we created Uncle John's Briefs — a fast, palm-size collection of one- and two-page articles on sports, history, science, and pop culture plus a sprinkling of riddles, puns, anagrams, and other classic wordplay. Here's a sampling…junk-food controversies, strange political parties, the origins of the 10 greatest rock songs of all time, and origins of familiar phrases. Also included are unsung captains of industry, the ABCs of weather forecasting, the origins of the Oscars, and 10 bizarre extreme sports.
