Sinopsis Buku:
Everythingfrom the mundane (the pencil) to the catastrophic (the atom bomb)has an origin, but often its not what we expect. A few things you may not have known:
Gandhi was married at age thirteen!
Chinese fortune cookies are an American invention and were not eaten in China until the 1990s when they were advertised as Genuine American Fortune Cookies.
Bayer lost the trademark for aspirin (which they had held since 1897) as part of the reparations Germany was forced to pay after World War I.
The original idea for the electric chair came from an American dentist.

For aspiring mindblowers and wanna-be know-it-alls, The Book of Origins is a treasure trove of trivia and fascinating facts guaranteed to entertain and enlighten.
