EPIC HISTORY OF FAILURE (NEON SQUID) (HB)

From the sinking of the HMS Titanic, to the many missteps of Christopher Columbus, to the wonky construction of the Tower of Pisa, this book introduces some of the epic fails that have changed our world or simply left us wondering, "What were they thinking?" Happily, we can often learn something from failure (and, sometimes, not). As Thomas Edison put it: "I've not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Also in the series: A Stinky History of Toilets and A Sick History of Medicine.
