My friend (and editor of my book, Rule the Web), David Moldawer, is producing a cool podcast about another book he edited, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desktop Reference for the Curious Mind.
Whether you are researching the history of Western art, investigating an obscure medical test, following current environmental trends, studying Shakespeare, brushing up on your crosswords and Sudoku skills, or simply looking for a deeper understanding of the world, this book is for you. This one volume offers more information than any other book on the most important subjects, as well as provide easy-to-access data critical to everyday life. It is the only universal reference book to include authoritative and engaging essays from Times writers in almost every field of endeavor.
