Fun way to learn!
Reading the cards is a fun way to learn interesting presidential facts. Even when the kids and I get the answers wrong we feel like we've learned something. The cards come in a sturdy box with an eye-catching design. History and trivia buffs will love them!

These Cards are Presidential!
These cards are great. Trivia galore! We had a large Family get together and busted out the cards and we went at it.They are great for quick nuggets on the history of the Presidents.Enjoy them!

Horrible product.
This resembles a shoddy last minute middle school history project. Questions are repeated and answers are wrong. For example on a question for how many electoral votes is required to be president the answer on the card is 281. These simple mistakes bring the whole farce into question. They say the first incumbent president to lose is Taft when the first incumbent to lose was the second president...ever. How hard is that to get right? Also there are cases where the answers contradict other answers on other cards. You end up even doubting the questions to which you didn't know the answer. ... Read more

365 days. 365 stories. Some of them are familiar to every football fan, such as the 1966 World Cup Final or the 1985 Heysel disaster, but what about the day a dog urinated on Jimmy Greaves mid-match in 1962, or the accidental death of Celtic goalkeeper John Thomson during a 1931 Old Firm game? From FA Cup shocks to betting scandals and from football's greatest games to football's greatest battles (a toss-up between Estudiantes vs Milan in 1969 and Batty vs Le Saux in 1995), "Day of the Match" is entertaining football trivia at its very best, bursting at the seams with funny, tragic, forgotten stories from the history of the beautiful game. ...

Do you know who Joseph first asked to be Orson Hydes companion on his mission to dedicate the promised land for the return of the Jews? Joseph asked this man, even though he had been excommunicated — but he didnt go. (HC 5:368)

If you know the answer, then you really know Church history! But we are far from done — Challenged by Church History has more than 3100 questions covering doctrine, personalities, geography, history, trivia and more — enough to challenge any Church historian!

Joseph was spending a Saturday evening with his twins when a mob tarred and feathered him. Do you remember what he did the next day? (HC 1:261–64) Or do you remember what Orson Hyde saw in the sky to the north and south of the sun? (HC 4:202–03) Or maybe you know the name of the man called to be Josephs second counselor who was sustained in Kirtland, but rejected in Zion. (HC 2:509, 523)

Inside this challenging book youll find crossword puzzles, word searches, match games, a family tree, questions (both easy and hard), and much more. It covers both the History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and The Pearl of Great Price. You and your family will have hours of fun while you learn the powerful truths and marvel at the incredible stories found in Church history. ... Read more

Avoid this book like the plague
Good Lord, what a truly awful book.Sorry, Doris L. Miller, but it has to be said.The book may have served a purpose before the wide availability of the Internet, but not now.

The author states in the introduction that she compiled information by writing to the local Chambers of Commerce of hundreds of towns...and it shows.I'll praise the effort if not the outcome.The book is chock full of errors, both factual and typographical.(Sam Houston is not buried in Houston, but in Huntsville.I'm pretty sure it's Santa Ana and NOT Santa Anna.)Plus, with a copyright date of 1995, much of the contents is out of date.It wasn't even a well made book; many of the pages were uncut at the top.

After I read the book, I didn't keep it, sell it to the local Half Price Books or even donate it to Goodwill.I tossed it in the trash.

At Least 1836 Things You Ought to Know about Texas But Probably Don't
Lots of trivia and interesting stories. Lots of facts and figures too.

Texas never ceases to fascinate me and this book just adds to that charm!My whole family has enjoyed it, from the 17 year old all the way up to old fuddy-duddy granddad.

Product Description
Clocks connect us to our universe. From the upright stick whose shadow traced the hours to the pendulums that imitated Galileo s swaying chandelier, the tools used early on to slice up the day measured the motion of Earth. More recently the task of measuring time has been assigned to atoms: the newest generation of atomic clocks is accurate to within one second in eighty million years.

The 48 cards in this deck examine some of the challenges involved in modern timekeeping, from creating wristwatches to coordinating clocks around the world. And a few glances are cast at the past, with cards devoted to ancient calendars and clocks made of incense and dripping water.

These 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards. ... Read more

Product Description
'In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.' 'Government is like a big baby--an alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.' This deck of 48 Knowledge Cards contains some of the most memorable musings about politics ever to flow from the lips and pens of philosophers, first ladies, presidents, prime ministers, revolutionaries, and more. The fronts of the cards present brief quotations; the backs identify their sources and place the words in historical context. Enjoyed as a solitary perusal or quizzed aloud to a crowd, Speaking of Politics educates, entertains, and explains why 'the stakes are too high for government to be a spectator sport.'
