The World's Worst MistakesSeries: Making HeadlinesBy Kathlyn Gay and Nigel Blundell DetailsDetails History books tend to celebrate the successes, the geniuses, and the breakthroughs that have made our world what it is today. But what about the mistakes? This book examines the blunders and the goof-ups—both miniscule and colossal in scale—many of which have been lost to history. Readers of The World’s Worst Mistakes will find humor in the story of the priest who married a bride to her groom’s best man and cringe at the poor fool who thought he actually purchased the White House. They also will learn about mistakes that changed the course of history, like the sinking of the Titanic, the Exxon Valdez disaster, and the weapons of mass destruction that started a war but didn’t exist. Sidebars, a glossary, and books and websites in the further reading section are also included.Publication Date: 01/01/2017Copyright: 2018Pages: 160Dewey: 909FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book9780766083677$41.60$31.20eBook9780766083684$41.60$31.20 Loading… Other books in Making Headlines 1 Loading… Other books from the authors 12 Loading… eBook: 9780766083684 List Price: $41.60 Discount Price: $31.20 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 9780766083677 List Price: $41.60 Discount Price: $31.20 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
