Synopsis

This book is a categorized compendium of everyday objects. The author arranges common things into three general divisions: the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Each item is treated in a question-and-answer format, which makes for engaging and easy reading. A variety of topics are covered, including salt, gunpowder, glass, coal, amber, iron, and precious stones. Discussions go beyond basic uses to cover curious historical anecdotes and scientific explanations of how things are made. The result is a fun and informative book that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages and backgrounds.
