The phrase "Knowledge is Power" is attributed to the British author and philosopher Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626).The world he knew was, in comparison to today, a simple and uncomplicated one. And, yet the importance of knowledge and the world around us is as important now as it was then, if not more so."Know It All" is a unique guide to general knowledge, combining essential information with intelligence quizzes that readers can take to test their progress.The book contains 10 sections each tackling a key subject with a quiz at the end of each section, and a final 10 mixed-subject quizzes at the end of the book.
