Bring on the brain boost as you learn the most eye-popping, mind-boggling, jaw-dropping facts in this entertaining encyclopedia.

The weird and the wonderful combine in a series of statements to test your knowledge and satisfy your curiosity as never before.?? Do we only use 10 per cent of our brains? Does lightning never strike twice? Are humans really taller in the morning than in the evening? Can cockroaches can survive for days without their heads? And is it true that elephants never forget and mice like cheese? Find out the truth and much, much more inside.

From people and places to space and science, each true or false statement is discussed in detail, alongside breathtaking pictures, photographs, and infographics.
