5-0 out of 5 stars Scams!
The title of my book is Scams. The author is Andreas Schroeder. The book has different stories in it and I think they're all great! There are stories from forging banknotes to Martian invasions to traveling around the world in 2 days. My favorite story is Instand Globe Circling. Just Add Water.
4-0 out of 5 stars Outrageous stories with reluctant reader appeal
Some of the biggest scams of all time are presented here in engaging narrative, each story more outrageous than the last. Learn about the discovery of a fake "lost" tribe that even National Geographic believed, the initial radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds and the subsequent broadcast that still causes riots today, a book collector who evaded debtors and sold out his family to feed his obsession, and more.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Historical Reference
The "Atlas of Past Times" found a permanent place on my coffee table. This book is absolutely loaded with illustrative maps, photos, and text. John Haywood has done to the pictorial record of world history what Kenneth C. Davis did for American history in his "Don't Know Much About History."Read more
