Description: Don't know your isosceles from your equilateral? Forgotten what actually happened in 1066? Do you know when you've left a participle hanging? And are you left slack-jawed when your children ask you what 'quid pro quo' means? Bewildered already? Fret no longer. "Homework for Grown-ups" is a brilliantly informative and entertaining book of old-school knowledge for adults.
