Amazing Facts - 340 Incredible Facts Your Teacher Did Not Tell You at School is a collection of all those amazing facts that no one teaches at school. Yes we all go through school learning all about how to read and write. Later we take to one course or the other in college and then we come out ready for a career in the private or public sector.
