When one opens the LibraryThing link to 'Janet Hopkins' one finds that this LT 'member' has been such since 4 March 2023 but has no contact information nor any titles in her LT collection. Now for an honest review of Fun Facts and Trivia About U.S. Geography. The Google doc e-text scrolls downward thru 69 pages so-called. To the left of the scroll is an online outline that begins with "Introduction" and runs downward thru three sets of Quizzes with Answers each numbered 1 to 5. Oh, but first permit this reviewer to give here the "title-page" tile of the Hopkins book: FUN FACTS AND TRIVIA ABOUT US GEOGRAPHY -- Books 1, 2, and 3 / by Jan Hopkins The outline lists three "Books" which more accurately are 'Sections' of the book. Then again it is probable that publisher, author, compiler Hopkins may have previously self-published one or more of these sections as separate "books". The entire book / text / scroll is a lesson in obfuscation. The question and answer format is classical in the sense of Socratic or Thomistic rhetoric and the book (or books) indeed is/are trivial. Examples of "Quiz [i.e., Question] and Answer from Book I: 1. What four states border Alabama? / / Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee border Alabama. 2. What is the capital of Arkansas? / / Little Rock is the capital. 3. What is the highest point in the U.S.? / / Denali in Alaska is 20,308 feet high and is the third most prominent peak in the world. All well and good, excepting the lack of confirmational references to any other published official records or maps. If one answers question / quiz #3 with 'Mount McKinley' is this also a correct answer? Is it possible that the author, compiler, self-publisher may be relying on the Wikipedia for foundational facts? One may surmise in any case. My LT rating, honestly, is two 'stars' for effort. ![]() ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

If you're looking for a decent book with good, factual geography trivia in it, this is definitely that. I found some of it to be extremely easy, but that isn't going to be the case for everyone, so I think this would be good for lots of people to test their trivia. (
