A Year of Living Curiously

'A daily dose of joy and wisdom. Just what we need to chase the gloom away!' - OLIVIA COLMAN

>Why is a heart not heart-shaped
What exactly is cryptocurrency
Where is the world's smallest sea
What would happen if I found myself in a black hole
Why do we put perfume on our pulse points
Would Mr Darcy make a good life partner
Are Danish pastries Danish
What does it mean to apricate
Is everything getting worse
Happily, E. Foley and B. Coates have curated A Year of Living Curiously, a book of daily shots of knowledge that will lift your spirits and expand your mind in a flash. In 365 joyfully random, utterly fascinating entries, you'll learn what the Japanese mean by 'kuchisabishii' and how the Victorians communicate through flowers; you'll start to get quantum computing and discover the secret history of the bobble hat. There are tales of soccer-playing bees and Viking mice, the beginning of the thesaurus and the end of the library of Alexandria. Filled with words you didn't know you needed and wisdom you'll never forget, A Year of Living Curiously is a brilliant almanac of curious treasure.
Spend just two minutes a day with this book and you'll end your year full of wonder and just that little bit wiser.
