    by Phillis Engelbert and Diane L. Dupuis
    While this book claims "1,200 of the most probing questions in the universe [are] answered within..." a large number of the answers supplied are either wrong or misleading. Although this book contains a lot of interesting and useful information, the volume of incorrect data, which cannot be differentiated by an uninitated reader, makes it impossible to recommend this book as a reference.
