History's Most Epic Fails!
This quirky fact-filled book is packed with endless possibilities and describes instances of rarely heard historic events in fascinating detail. Exploring everything from epic fails, which resulted in disasters, it also describes surprising and extraordinary opportunities stumbled upon accidently, which have benefited the world in which we live.
Exploring disasters which occurred during different wars, in the spheres of business or in the field of exploration and science, this book consistently entertains with the help of Miles’s wonderful illustrations. It not only authoritatively investigates major historic incidents, but also small errors which have had extraordinary unforeseen consequences, shaping human history. Kugblenu uses an interesting rating system to describe the many epic fails great and small, which together with the graphics, creates a lively and thoroughly informative read. Some favourite diverse circumstances which led to surprising events include the inadvertent discovery of the pace maker, or the effect of the development of DVDs on video rental stores – spoiler alert; they all closed down! Equally fascinating is the accidental discovery of penicillin due to the negligence of Alexander Fleming because he didn’t tidy his laboratory! In fact, the book describes a multitude of strange and obvious fails throughout, all of which are very entertaining.
A book suitable for ages eleven and upwards, its fascinating delivery and detail is in fact suitable for readers of any age.
