“This dazzling History in Fifty Series reveals the past through a mosaic of stories, sidebars , and graphic images. The key to the Series’ great success is the sly power of the stories, which lure in unsuspecting readers who are educated as they are entertained. In these pages one finds the history of Ponzi Schemes, hot air balloons, oceanliners, Camels, chariots and shoes, to name but a few of the hundreds. Each unit is exquisitely researched and solidly documented and placed lovingly in an appropriate context.”
