Back Cover Copy
An eclectic, surprising, and utterly entertaining compendium, The Order of Things compiles a very astonishing diversity of information—the natural, the social, the mathematical, the mystical—into hundreds of charts, systems, lists, and hierarchies. From Barbara Ann Kipfer, who mastered the art of the list with her bestselling 14,000 Things to Be Happy About, this is a book for browsing, for research, and for the sheer pleasure of learning new things.
