The answers to an assortment of questions are collected in these two books, which are both informative and bizarre. Topics range from scientific (what will happen if the ice caps melt?), to random (how short was Napoleon?), to just plain strange (how long could you survive by eating yourself?), with no apparent organization. Readers may be alternatingly intrigued, puzzled, and repulsed. Review covers these titles: Actually, Factually and How High Can an Elephant Jump?
