History's Grossest, Wackiest Moments
Paperback

This illustrated encyclopedia of the strange and sideways presents scores of topics that rarely make it into textbooks.
Readers take in a brief history of underwear, a catalog of plagues and poxes, school rules over the centuries, the development of toilet paper—even why Vikings saved their urine in barrels. Though tales of the bizarre and alien dominate the book, much "real" history sneaks through, such as timekeeping technology since ancient Egypt, customs of the medieval knight and the samurai, and why whaling became an industry.
Quantities are limited.
