Shit my History Teacher DID NOT tell me!
Shit my History Teacher DID NOT tell me!
Author: Karl Wiggins
Desc: If you’re a history or philosophy buff this book should be as irresistible as a kebab to a pisshead So what’s it all about then? History that’s what. “Errgghhh boring boring bollocks boring I had enough of that crap when I was at school. History just went on and on and on and on and on ….. and on and on. Nothing different ever happened.” Well that’s where you’re wrong because I’m going to bring it alive. Not all history books or even books about teaching history have to be tedious. I’ve looked under every rock in every nook and cranny. I’ve searched all over the place and dug up some really interesting little titbits. Stuff not a lot of people know. So stay with me on this one. I’ve chosen to look at past events from the birth of the planet to the birth of Christ. That’s enough for one book isn’t it? Well not really because I’ve gone off track a little bit from time to time but I do tend to do that so don’t worry about it. If you’ve got a teenager who’s studying the history of this period download a copy for them now because it’s all laid out nice and clear. But let me warn you I have in the past been accused of having an inappropriate sense of humour so if you want a little bit of a chuckle watching me make fun out of everyone I meet down the years then this is the book for you - and if your offspring is in their early teens then it probably isn’t the book for them. As I say I do tend to stray into the modern day from time to time to bring things into focus but I promise you this book will surprise you inform you keep you interested and put a smile on your face from time to time. I discuss philosophers and philosophy a lot including ancient Greek philosophers Chinese beliefs and philosophy from around the world but if you think it’s all Socrates Plato and Aristotle there’s a lot more here to be discovered. You’ll be surprised for instance at the similarities between the Celts and the Native Americans. The Rosicrucians will fascinate you as will some of the secrets held by Alexander the Great! It’s high time we had some history books for adults!
