About the Author
Jess Whitson was born in San Bernadino, California and has lived in Springfield, Missouri for all of his adult life. Because of his early indoctrination into Missouri culture, he is constantly showing people stuff. And he knows how to fashion any hunk of limestone into any implement imaginable or even concievable. He lives with his wife in some kind of karst dwelling like most people in the Ozarks. Jess got a Philosophy B.A. which means he can be a philosophical counselor. Since most people don't like philosophers giving advice, he instead decided to write the best book ever—Unbelievable History with his pal Steven Olsen. Steven grew up in the college town of Springfield, Missouri where he met his best friend and writing partner, Jess. Steven spends his time assisting local atheist groups, talking about Portland, Oregon incessantly and playing video games with his wife, Nola. When he's not writing books, he love to read them and spends far too much money at Powell's.

If you took a room with an infinite number of monkeys on typewriters and set them to work randomly typing until they get the entire works of Shakespeare on paper - stop them now and have them all read this book instead.
A book so filled with juicy historical goodness, you'll feel like all your history teachers in school were just phoning it it until this book came along. Remember: if it's not this history book, it's not unbelievable. Buy it today!

Best read since Dawkin's "God Delusion"! I remember meeting Steven through our mutual friend JT Eberhard from Skepticon/Secular Student Alliance, I knew he had potential then and this only begins to prove me right. From chocolate cake shots at GastroPub to a published author... you won't be disappointed in Mr. Olsen's handiwork. A great choice, pick it up today!!

This is what history would be like if it was written by people who had learned the basic concepts from a drunk relative and filled in the gaps with ludicrous assumptions and overwhelming opinions. In other words, brilliant. Read it!

It's a book!
It's sort of like those things you used to get where they printed words on pages and expected you to read them by constantly flipping the pages. Read more

It's a wicked fricken good book!
It's kinda like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, but for smart people.
And it was well worth the 12 Shekels that it cost!
