This book contains the 3,684 facts necessary to solidify an education that may have gaps, spanning 10,000 years of knowledge across disciplines such as art history, economics, film, literature, music, philosophy, politics, psychology, religion, science, and world history. It explains the differences between fission and fusion, the Balkans and the Caucasus, Shiites and Sunnis, deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning, yet also instructs readers how to pronounce inchoate. It provides a brief history of Hamilton's Federalists and Jefferson's Democratic Republicans and how both parties became the Republicans and Democrats of today.
