Janssen (coauthor, Under the Covers) oversaw production of the 2011 edition of what is widely considered the world's premier trivia book. Divided into broad thematic segments, e.g., crime, arts and media, military affairs, sports, and U.S. facts and history, the content is largely made up of quantitative and qualitative lists detailing firsts and superlatives like "Top-Selling Albums of All Time." Perhaps of more enduring historical significance are the multidimensional Year in Review, by-state election results, Nobel Prize winner lists, minibiographies, and other collections of scientific facts. A general index facilitates specific subject location. A truly one-stop resource for internationally significant facts.-Savannah Schroll Guz, formerly with Smithsonian Libs., Washington, DC (c) Copyright 2011.
