Sinossi
Ci sono cose note, che sappiamo di sapere. È scontato poi che ci siano cose che sappiamo di non sapere. Ma nessuno sa che ci sono anche cose ignote che non sono note, cioè cose che non sappiamo di non sapere. In una carrellata entusiasmante di fatti incredibilmente ignoti, il campione di scacchi e matematico William Hartston ci conduce tra le pieghe della storia, della biologia, della fisica, della musica o della religione, mettendoci inesorabilmente di fronte alla nostra comune, irrimediabile, universale ignoranza.

I gave this book 4 🌟 because I found that some topics that I read had completely gone in one ear and out of the other. I also found that some topics were just dragging on and there were no real answer to it, the topic was being talked about but not in a way that you’d think that topic was being talk Leggi tutto
This is a nice book which has a long list of unknowns. However, it does not delve into an of those in detail - each of the topics gets about 1/2 to 3/4 of a page. There are many mysteries I doubt any one will care about such as people's hair, colour etc. It seems that the list is pushed to get to 50 Leggi tutto
This is just delightful. You know how “they” always say the more you know, the more you know that you don’t know? And you have actually felt that way yourself as you lived and studied and did whatever through life. Well, to explore how abysmally, unqualifiedly, irredeemably ignorant we really are ta Leggi tutto
You can't really complain that this book doesn't give you answers when the title is "Things Nobody Knows." With that in mind, it's a fun read. I may not know why lesbian albatrosses are common but I'm glad to know that they are.
An absolutely fascinating read, full of things I didn't know, and things I didn't know we didn't know. Plus the odd thing that we've learned more about in recent years. So, perhaps we now don't know a little less than when this was published, or maybe through knowing those things, we've now discover Leggi tutto
This was an interesting book to read in short bursts. None of the questions had very in depth answers, but they did prompt me to want to learn more about a few different topics.
It's fun to read about life's mysteries, it is even better when those mysteries are ridiculously mundane. The Things That Nobody Knows is packed with these kind of mysteries and a fun and compact read because of it. The only downside is that it feels slightly outdated already! 3 Stars, fun as a side- Leggi tutto
It was quite good but the beginning was a bit boring.
