What's a diphthong…a quadratic equation…an atomic number? How does photosynthesis work? What was the Battle of Hastings about? When was the Cenozoic Era? Need a little refresher? I Used to Know That reminds you of all that stuff you really do know, but can't quite recall. You'll find pithy summaries of Shakespeare's plays and Jane Austen's novels; easy instructions for calculating all sorts of geometric values; simple explanations of the most important physical laws and theories; quick recaps of major wars around the world; a compact listing of all the countries in the United Nations; and so much more! This highly accessible little compendium entertains as it edifies—what fun to dust off those brain cells and realize how much knowledge is up there…somewhere!
