Everything you should have learned but didn't, plus everything you once learned but have since forgotten: such is the stuff of this indispensable—and newly updated—reference book. An Incomplete Education offers quick studies on the major whos, whats, wheres, whens, and whys of history, economics, art, literature, music, philosophy, religion—all organized in lively, readable chapters. You'll find answers to questions that have been driving you crazy. And, it's a great source for settling arguments! There's help with tricky pronunciations and careful distinctions in pairs of words. Best of all, the whole book is written with lighthearted charm and irreverent humor. The authors bring vitality to subjects that otherwise might have seemed heavy and difficult to many of us. An education of any kind makes a great gift; we highly recommend An Incomplete Education—for birthdays, graduations, even weddings.
