    About this ebook

    Regardless of your reasons for wanting to know about our remarkable geography and all the great places you can travel, doesn't it just seem like it takes to much time to read up?

    We thought so too.

    We were helping a friend study for the contestant quiz of the Jeopardy! Game show when we realized we had accumulated enough material to help out almost anyone. A student, game show contestant, or curious world traveler. And so here we are, sitting on this little gold mine of information that took a long time to put together, but offers a quick and easy way to get to know the nuts and bolts of a really fascinating subject.

    Be aware that you will not find maps or an inflatable globe in these pages. That said, you will find the extremes of the world—longest, deepest, tallest, most populous—and the best places to visit. You will find all the national capitals and all those wacky state nicknames and capitals. You will find... well, sample for yourself:

    What is the world's largest island?
    What were the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
    Where is the Great Dividing Range?
    Where did the Hatfields and McCoys live?
    What is the Orchid Capital? The Pelican State?
    What was Sri Lanka formerly named? What is the capital?
    What is the famous shopping district of Tokyo?

    How did you do? Ready to dig in?

    The KNOWLEDGE BLASTER! Series compresses a great mountain of available information into easily digestible morsels. You'll find the books are patterned in an efficient question-and-answer mode, stressing simplicity, brevity, and clarity.

    You can use this reference work as a launch pad to propel yourself into more in-depth studies. However, if you find this little study guide provides all the information you need, then consider your knowledge...
    Blasted!

    We wish you the best of luck in your quest for knowledge in this fascinating subject. 'Bye now.
    And, oh yes, buy now!

    Yucca Road Productions

    Yucca Road Productions started as all great enterprises do... having a cup of coffee with friends at the kitchen table. One of our little gang of misfits had decided he was destined to appear on the Jeopardy! game show. The rest of us were foolhardy enough to volunteer our surprisingly diverse knowledge sets for the task of preparing him for said destiny.A couple years later, we had accumulated so much info, it was nuts. After deleting what we decided was "trivia" in the game show's dozen or so most-used categories, we figured we could teach anybody to do well on a game show. Or an exam. Or trivia night at the neighborhood pub. Oh, yes... we nailed that one.And so, the Knowledge Blaster! series was conceived and delivered!Then Terry Marsh wrote a couple novels and approached us about getting them published. We liked the books. So, after coercing him into buying bagels for everybody, we added him to our list of ne'er-do-wells.Then Leo Moss surprised us with a book of more-or-less poetry and a novel about a reluctant magic man. We added his works to the list, too. We had to. Moss is the only guy in the group who can spell without a dictionary (so we made him editor), and we just can't find anybody else who will work for the "prestige" of it. Just kidding, Leo.So, time passes, as is its habit. We're still at the kitchen table, wondering what might happen next. We hope it involves pizza, but you never know.
