(4) 4-6 This book will delight readers who enjoy one-upping their friends or simply correcting common misconceptions. Opening with slight aggrandizement ("Everything you know is wrong...Okay, not quite everything"), the introduction explains how facts get distorted. Gifford then organizes 152 debunking explanations into five groups, including "Body Bloopers" and "Historic Howlers." Busy illustrations combine digital images and photos. Reading list, websites.
