(EducationT) An Incomplete Education: 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned but Probably Didn't (Hardcover)

(EducationT) An Incomplete Education: 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned but Probably Didn't (Hardcover) - You'll find everything you forgot from school--as well as plenty you never even learned--in this all-purpose reference book, an instant classic when it first appeared in 1987. The updated version takes a whirlwind tour through 12 different disciplines, from American studies to philosophy to world history. Along the way, Judy Jones and William Wilson provide a plethora of useful information, from the plot of Othello to the difference between fission and fusion. It's not a shortcut to cultural literacy, the authors write in their introduction, but it's an excellent "way in" to the building blocks of Western civilization: the "books, music, art, philosophy, and discoveries that have, for one reason or another, managed to endure." Think of it as finishing school for your brain; study up and you'll gain a lifetime's worth of cocktail conversation--as well as a new list of books you simply must read. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Toys&Games - LEGO Batman - The Batman Dragster: Catwoman Pursuit

LEGO Batman - The Batman Dragster: Catwoman Pursuit - On the prowl after Catwoman! Batman's dragster rockets through the streets of Gotham City in hot pursuit of Catwoman on her speedy motorbike.

With his flick-fire missiles and a spinning laser cannon, nothing escapes the Dark Knight's high-speed justice!

Amazon.com
It was back in 1992 that Batman pursued the seductive but dangerous Catwoman in a hairy on-screen road chase in Batman Returns. Lego is finally introducing this complementary 92-piece model of Batman’s dragster and Catwoman’s motorcycle, complete with constructible minifigs of the masked hero and his feline foe. The swift-moving dragster has several cool features, including working rear tires, a rotating front axel, a missile launcher on the back, and a cockpit lid that opens and closes.

Catwoman’s motorcycle is a bit simpler but does have tires that spin well for the vehicle’s size and a prop for Catwoman’s whip. In addition, both of the minifigs have removable masks and moveable arms and legs. The two vehicles are easy builds that can be accomplished in under an hour. Because the construction is minimal, this model will have more appeal for collectors of either Lego or Batman memorabilia rather than those looking for a challenge. --Cristina Vaamonde
