\ From Barnes & NobleOne might think of Juanita Rose Violini's first book as a refreshing, very selective history of the world with all the boring parts omitted. Few previous historians, for example, have focused on April 7, 1938, a day when, at remote locations, three men spontaneously combusted. Violini's aptly titled Almanac of the Infamous, the Incredible and the Ignored sets its beams on those strange things and weird occurrences that entertain us long after stories of battles and explorers slip into oblivion. The 365 daily entries include: "March 30th -- Triangles over Belgium"; "April 5th -- Mosquito Executes Curse." "July 15th -- Tiny Coffins & Pygmie Flints."\ \ \ \ \ Library JournalThis delightful, curiosity-rousing guide offers 365 international tales of the unexplained, paranormal, and bizarre.
