Prominent humor writers and media personalities comb their home states for the most wacky and outrageous people, places, and things in this sassy new series of state almanacs-gone-astray. Discover what's really great about your state -- places they overlooked on school field trips, people with odd and amazing talents, history that was left out of the history books, a wealth of weird wonders you never dreamed existed. Offering a perspective that strikes a balance between affection and wit, each author, a well-known local humorist, provides a perspective on the quirky side of his state that will make you laugh out loud -- or at least raise an eyebrow. Silly photos and trivia sidebars make these books as much fun to browse as they are to read.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

With Wisconsin Curiosities, popular public radio show host Michael Feldman brings his 'deliciously sarcastic' perspective to the subject of his home state. Together with co-author Diana Cook, he's combed Wisconsin for more than 125 of the weirdest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Badger State has to offer. You'll meet a man who owes his life to a foam rubber cheesehead, a worm that plays basketball, and a family of champion stiltwalkers. You'll discover the best places to savor chicken in a hubcap, whitefish livers, and that notoriously odorous limburger cheese. You'll visit far away places such as the Taj Mahal, Mount Rushmore, Chartres Cathedral, and even Stonehenge - and you'll be home in time for dinner! (5 12/ x 8 1/2, 240 pages, b&w photos, maps)
