In 'The 100 Most Pointless Things in the World', Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman humorously and insightfully explore those objects, concepts, and customs that, despite their apparent uselessness, are part of our daily lives. From absurd inventions to meaningless traditions, this book offers a fun and thoughtful look at what we consider valuable in the modern world.
Sir Alexander Armstrong was an Irish naval surgeon, explorer, naturalist and author. After obtaining a medical degree he joined the Royal Navy and was stationed on board HMS Investigator, tasked with finding the lost expedition of explorer Sir John Franklin. Investigator was trapped in the ice at Mercy Bay in 1851 and Armstrong spent several winters in the Arctic before he returned to London.
