We're History : The 20th Century Survivor's Final Exam
Overview: The twentieth century is nearly history, and since you probably weren't born yesterday, you should at least remember a few things about the last one hundred amazing years. For old times, take this short quiz to see what you remember and how much you may have forgotten:
- Which come first, Velcro, spandex, or polyester?
- What kind of a detective was Ace Ventura?
- True or False: Adolf Hitler was vegetarian.
- What was going on in San Francisco on April 19, 1906?
- What do Laika, Belka, and Strelka have in common?
Surprised? And those five questions are just a sample of the people, places, and things that come flooding back in this book, a host of cleverly designed quizzes that celebrate and test your knowledge of the twentieth century. With more than 2,000 creatively phrased and organized questions (short answer, fill-in-the blanks, true/false, "which came first?" and "spot the anachronism") and seventeen chapers covering every conceivable twentieth-century theme, innovation, and icon. This book will sharpen your trivia skills, dust off your memory, and most importantly, provide you with what may be your last whirlwind ride through a truly memorable century.
