Information about dinosaurs, spies, girls, and grammar; instructions for making a battery, playing chess, identifying cloud formations, and performing coin tricks; stories about Antarctic exploration, famous battles, the Wright Brothers, and mountain climbers-The Dangerous Book for Boys is crammed full of brilliant stuff that young men want and need to know! This delightful collection of cool facts, vintage skills, and exciting bits of history was written by two British brothers who "would have given away the cat to get this book when they were young." Disregard the negative hype and give The Dangerous Book for Boys to your son, nephew, or grandson…and give it also to your husband, father, or grandfather. This unique compendium of masculine pursuits makes "old-fashioned" and "modern" seem like the same thing-it's all rather romantic in its wit, wildness, and wisdom. [Top-secret note: give this book to girls, too! Nothing's more fun than commandeering something intended for the opposite gender-especially if something "dangerous" is involved!] For ages 8-108.
