Whether you're a history buff, science student, lover of popular culture or a natural born detective, "The Origin of Everyday Things" is the ultimate guide to help curious minds unravel and unwind. A delicious compendium of trivia behind the origins of over 300 modern phenomena, objects, sayings stories and superstitions that most people take for granted, it's also a great way to enhance your powers of observation, hone your forensic antenna and last but least, impress your friends. This book covers topics such as: the birth and brilliance of the brown paper bag; the 4,000-year history of toothpaste - and its torrid past; the staying power behind the world's most popular puzzles from Rubik's Cube to Sudoku to the humble crossword; and why we have nature to thank for Velcro, Valium and the Guggenheim.
