Product Description
Five thousand years of stargazing have taken us from a ring of stones to a ring collider, as we map the heavens and label quarks in search of the beginning of time and space, that magical moment when nothing became something.

This deck of forty-eight cards uses a Q&A format to introduce the major scientists and breakthroughs in the history of astronomy, asking you, for example, to identify the most sophisticated astronomers of the ancient world, trace interplanetary radio signals, and explain how dark matter was discovered.

We have only just begun to understand the cosmos, but this compact primer will bring you up to date on everything from the speed of light to dark energy.

These 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards. ... Read more

Great Fun
This quiz book has a total of 12 complete Jeopardy games, complete with Final Jeopardy questions.As in the television show, topics are all over the board (pun intended), including things like "John Cusack Movies," "Crustaceans," "Boo!" (in which each answer contains the letters b-o-o).Each topic has five answers with space to write the question, and the correct question is on the back of the page, so there's no having to flip back to an index or anything like that.

While there may be better ways to prepare yourself for Jeopardy competition (reading reference books and atlases comes to mind), this is a wonderful entertainment and a great way to pass time while on the phone, in the doctor's office, or just before bed.

What is ... quizzical

For the compulsive test taker....
I'm sorry, but I just simply love this book. Maybe it is because I am a compulsive test taker. Maybe it is because I get so little chance in this society to demonstrate what I know. Perhaps it is some minor validation that graduating from high school and college with honors wasn't a "fluke." Then again, perhaps it is merely because I scored in the "excellent" category on it's battery of tests. In any case, I highly recommend it to any closet "cognoscentes" out there.

The tests cover a comprehensive range of subjects: American History; World History; Civics; Geography; Art and Architecture; Music, Myth and Religion; Quotes, Phrases and Aphorisms; American Literature; World Literature; Life Science; Physical Science; Technology; Mathematics and Economics; and Current Events. Don't worry, everyone has at least one "blind spot"- the other tests even it out.

Come to think of it, I know why I love this book- it is because I know that none of the bosses that I've ever had could even manage to score a "fair"....

A great find
I was looking in the library for a book that would keep me intelligentbetween school semesters, and when I found this book, I was greatlypleased.After I brought it home, my father also discovered in and entirlyenjoyed taking each of the 14 tests.I not only kept my brain fresh, Ilearned some too! ...

If it helps teach an interest in Yiddishkeit , then why not?
This book is an effort to interest young people in Judaism. It provides a variety of quizzes on aspects of Jewish life and identity. It has a rich concentration of information about Jewish religious life.
One might consider this a way of ' dumbing down ' Jewish education and thus look at it negatively. Or one might as I prefer to do look at it as anotherattempt to provide 'material' that will bring Jewish young people tolearning more about their heritage,and themselves. ... Read more
