The Book of Origins

The Book of Origins shows when things started.

The product of long research in libraries around the country, it also shows the who, where and sometimes why a thing, (which could be a religion an atom bomb or a sport), started, or who was the first to have sex in space, or if indeed it has happened. The book also delves into who might have been wrongly credited with being a ‘first’ and explodes long held beliefs about some origins.

The Book of Origins has twenty six main categories ranging from ART to WAR via CRIME, INVENTIONS, LANGUAGE and SPACE, and is crammed with intriguing and surprising facts.
