(Volume 1)","description":"Astonishment: Facts to Tell Your Friends That They Won't Believe is a compilation of startling facts gathered over years by the author, interspersed with compelling quotations about the joy of curiosity. If you're writing a story, composing a speech, or just sharing in conversation, these gems will enrich your contribution. What do an orange, a baseball glove, a tarantula, and the Eiffel Tower have in common. Answer - uncommon stories behind each that most people will find hard to believe. Everyone loves to possess little-known facts they can drop into a conversation, a written story, or a spoken presentation. Knowledge builds on what is already known. Therefore as you add to the stockpile of what you know, you create more possible connections. New ideas are often just a new way to connect bits of information. Sometimes facts build and reach a tipping point, a critical mass, and an epiphany emerges. Other times, an assortment of seemingly random facts coalesce into a comprehensible pattern that was unseen until then. And, sometimes, just the bringing out of a unique fact triggers a flood of imagination that allows for the creation of something entirely new. There are over one hundred jaw-dropping snippets to bring your sharing to a new level. They will bend your mind and thinking into new directions with the speed and thrill of a carnival ride. The multitude of carefully chosen quotations are invitational meditations to ponder that restless energy that lies just under the surface of our everyday intentions - the spirit of curiosity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRobert Wayne Bouffard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eApr 19, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e110 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1494712261\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781494712266\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49187098853681,"sku":"9781494712266","price":11.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781494712266","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
