The Encyclopedia of Very Important Events Through Modern History: 54 Earth-Shattering Events That Changed the Course of History
So, you know about history’s biggest events… but do you know the story behind them?
Knowledge is power – we’ve all heard that before and seen it proven right. Because of this, learning a bit of history can help us not make the same mistakes in the future. History, after all, is one big series of lessons we can apply to our present to avoid repeating the biggest errors ever made.
The main problem is that sometimes history can get… kind of boring (sorry, historians!). But we’re changing that for good.
Divided into 54 incredibly engaging and well-told stories representing the biggest and most influential events that have taken place throughout modern history, The Encyclopedia of Very Important Events Through Modern History compiles humorous, inspiring, tragic and even disastrous stories that shaped the world to become – for better or for worse – what we know it as today.
Discover the truth that led to the most massive events in history, such as:
- Isaac Newton and his apple – you know the story, right? But what if I told you the whole tale was a LOT more complex than simply a falling fruit?
- You may be aware that WWI began with an assassination, but did you know that it was a wrong turn by a driver that set the stage for the world’s second bloodiest war? Yikes!
- And we all know how messy a divorce can get… but what about a divorce that caused a literal religious war across an entire nation and set half the country on fire… literally!
This book will help you unlock the entire truth behind the largest events in history so get ready; it’s a fascinating read.
Grab a copy of The Encyclopedia of Very Important Events through Modern History and learn the historical facts and stories most people don’t know about the events we all know!

The Golfer’s Excuse Handbook: Golfertainment for Good and Bad Golfers (Funny Golf Gift for Men and Women)
Do you have a friend or family member who loves golf?
Better yet, do you know the frustration and hilarity that comes with trying to play this beautiful sport?
Everyone who has experienced the game of golf understands that it can be frustrating, unfair, and embarrassing to play. Sometimes, if you are the sad individual who hit a poor shot, you might be tempted to provide an excuse to your playing partners. A good excuse can relieve the tension, and maybe even bring a few laughs.
Sometimes, though, an excuse can be hilarious just by its lack of credulity. A golfer can chalk their bad shot up to anything, absolutely anything, and that’s when the excuse becomes a funny moment. Golfers share these stories with their friends, and it’s not the shot they remember, only the hilarious excuse.
The Golfer’s Excuse Handbook contains 250 excuses on a range of subjects all over the golf course, and a few that extend beyond the links!
- Five different chapters, one for each group of excuses and the topics likely to draw a golfer’s ire.
- Each chapter features interesting golf history and trivia, as well!
- There are also entertaining golf quotes from players, world leaders, and other well-known individuals within these pages.
- Chapter subjects include the golf course itself, a golfer’s playing partners, and the weather!
This book will entertain any fan of the game, from those who watch the pros to anyone who dares to swing a club. Perhaps this book can start a conversation with friends and family members about who has the worst excuses on the course, or who has said the most outrageous line in a moment of shame.
Maybe there’s a golfer in your life that needs help with their excuse game! This book can also serve any golfer with a ton of ideas on how to deflect the embarrassment of that bad shot. And, if you have someone in your life who is particularly unskilled, they may need multiple excuses to make it through a round!
This book is bound to bring a smile to anyone who has experienced the struggle of golf. It will make readers smile, laugh out loud, and most importantly, appreciate the joy and pain that is the game of golf.
Grab a copy of The Golfer’s Excuse Handbook and tee up the fun today!
