Everything—from the mundane (the pencil) to the catastrophic (the atom bomb)—has an origin, but often it’s not what we expect. A few things you may not have known: • Gandhi was married at age thirteen! • Chinese fortune cookies are an American invention and were not eaten in China until the 1990s when they were advertised as “Genuine American Fortune Cookies.” • Bayer lost the trademark for aspirin (which they had held since 1897) as part of the reparations Germany was forced to pay after World War I. • The original idea for the electric chair came from an American dentist. For aspiring mindblowers and wanna-be know-it-alls, The Book of Origins is a treasure trove of trivia and fascinating facts guaranteed to entertain and enlighten.

Wally Worsley's autobiography describes one man's extensive experience with the Hollywood studio system, beginning on the bottom rung at M-G-M in the 1930s, at the time of The Wizard of OZ, and culminating in the 1980s with E.T. His career bridged a half-century and provides a comprehensive overview of the development of Hollywood studio production. His autobiography has been assembled from his voluminous business diaries, a project first begun by Worsley himself, then completed by his widow following his death. The book presents a fascinating picture of Hollywood at work, from the Old Golden Age to the new one, with excursions to the film worlds of postwar Singapore and Europe.
