This book is a collection of (unsourced) facts, lists, historical anecdotes, and projects aimed primarily at a middle-grade boy audience. Topics range from satellites to poisons to explorers. Throughout, the authors add commentary, occasionally providing "reader challenges" intended to provoke further thought. Retro-industrial spot-art graphics mainly in strong red and black illustrate the information.
