Synopsis

Ever wanted to understand the universe and all that exists within it? In "Thesaurus of Extremes", Michael Hatch presents his unique take on the answers to some of life's greatest mysteries through the organisation of every set of imaginable objects or circumstances into their own orders of magnitude. Hatch bestows upon the reader his knowledge of the best, worst, least, most, biggest and smallest of a wide variety of entities, all lovingly presented in over 200 ordered lists collated from both his extensive research, and his own creative mind.From the manliest beverage to the entire spectrum of chaos and order, non-numerical specific values to degrees of disaster by newsworthiness, this is a unique resource for anyone who craves the ability to be able to make sense of the world around them. The lists themselves, along with a detailed glossary of many of the lesser-known terms and 60 clever line drawings, makes Hatch's "Thesaurus of Extremes" useful for writers and language enthusiasts, researchers, or those who simply want to be entertained by Hatch's unique brand of humour.
