The Last Man Who Knew Everything

When you're young, your Dad always seems to know it all. Then, as you grow older, and so does your Dad, you hope maybe you've surpassed him in the knowledge department, but to no avail! Since it is hopeless, why not help further his seemingly infinite capacity for knowledge by giving him the book, The Last Man Who Knew Everything. The subtitle – Thomas Young, the Anonymous Polymath Who Proved Newton Wrong, Explained How We See, Cured the Sick, and Deciphered the Rosetta Stone, Among Other Feats of Genius, by Andrew Robinson, explains everything about the man who disproved the great Isaac Newton's theory of light. Young's wrote 63 articles for the Encyclopedia Britannica all successfully illustrated in Robinson's book. With genius in so many fields, Young is sure to impress even the most knowledgeable of Dad's!
