Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
From the very first contraceptive diaphragms (orange peels) and Donald Trump's wedding to the gruesome final resting place of Galileo's fingers, this is a bizarre, wholly engrossing collection of facts about life's great passages. Did you know that all the female eggs needed to produce the subsequent generation of the human race could be contained in the shell of a chicken's egg? Or that Attila the Hun drank himself to death on his wedding night? Or that the cremated remains of D.H. Lawrence, having been lost and recovered twice by his mistress Frieda, were finally shoveled into a concrete mixer to become part of a slab for her new mantlepiece? Hatches, Matches and Dispatches--a compulsively browsable, terrifically entertaining read. 122 pp 5 x 8
