		<description><![CDATA[Do you remember anything from your high school history classes? How about college history courses? No, I don&#8217;t mean how boring they were (sorry, history fans), I mean actually remember content from those classes?

		<description><![CDATA[Bottom line: A must-read book for every grad (high school and college) and learning professional. The book is both wise and entertaining, but perhaps not worth the $16 (hint: get it from your local library).
