Summary

'The Compendium of (Not Quite) Everything' is a treasure trove of random knowledge. Covering everything from the furthest known galaxies to the murky origins of oyster ice cream, inside you will find a discussion of how one might determine the most average-sized country in the world; details of humanity's most ridiculous wars; and, at last, the answer to who would win in a fight between Harry Potter and Spider-Man. Bizarre, brilliant and filled with the unexpected, this book covers the breadth and depth of human experience, weaving its way through words and numbers, science and the arts, the spiritual and the secular.
