Russell Ash (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2009 | Series: Top Ten of Everything

With annual sales of 200,000 copies, Top 10 of Everything is clearly the place people go to get the lowdown on what or who was the best, worst, richest, fiercest, deadliest, or simply biggest of practically anything. It features over 7,000 intriguing facts and stats on history, science, sports, music, movies, nature, people, and places—from the stars of stage and screen who shone the brightest to the terrestrial animals that weigh the most.

Some of the lists are entirely new, some are updated with the latest news, and all appear on attractively illustrated spreads. “First” and “Fast” fact boxes pinpoint the pioneers and the most recent achievers in various endeavors. It’s entertaining and educational!

I purchased this book as a gift and couldn't help but spend hours pouring through it (before I wrapped it). The title reads "EVERYTHING," and believe me, the editors mean Everything. Subjects are covered according to chapter and include:

1. The Universe and the Earth

2. Life on Earth

3. The Human World

4. Town and Country

5. Culture and Learning

6. Music

7. Entertainment

8. The Commercial World

9. On the Move

10. Sports and Leisure

The subheadings under each category include just about everything you can think of . . . and then some. Great for trivia buffs and (I'm thinking) BLOGGERS, who might be looking for unique topics in order to prompt a thoughtful/informative essay.

Colorful, brilliant photography and layout. Highly recommend.

Facts enough for a year! This book is fantastic to read through the top tens of the various topics and learn new tid bits of information that you normally wouldn't. Great collection of facts all in one place. Great conversation starters while reading through the lists on a nice long car ride!
