Synopsis: For years, fans of Uncle Johns Bathroom Reader have told us that their favorite part of our books is the short articles. So we created Uncle Johns Briefs, a fast, palm-size collection of one- and two-page articles on sports, history, science, and pop culture plus a sprinkling of riddles, puns, anagrams, and other classic wordplay. Heres a sampling: junk-food controversies; strange political parties; the origins of the 10 greatest rock songs of all time; origins of familiar phrases; David Buick, Gail Borden, and other unsung captains of industry; the ABCs of weather forecasting; the origins of the Oscars; and 10 bizarre extreme sports.
