The Modern Marvels Encyclopedia by John R. Crossland
I don't remember where I had picked up this book. I had thoughts of it were interesting, little did I know that I enjoyed most of the book and learned new things.
I was fascinated with the "new" knowledge they had. It gave me a look into the past on all different topics.
I recommend it for anyone interested in knowledge and the past.

Fairly trite short stories aimed at, say, boys 10 to 14.
