Certitude: A Profusely Illustrated Guide to Blockheads and Bullheads, Past and Present

Earning a place among the greatest historical and contemporary bullheads are:
- Girolamo Savonarola, the Dominican friar who failed to place his own vanities on the bonfire.
- Carry A. Nation, the saloon smasher who didn’t have a temperate bone in her teetotaling body.
- Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes series, who lacked the deductive reasoning he bestowed on his own creation.
- Joseph Stalin, the hard-line Soviet leader who had a soft spot after all.
- Madonna, the queen of pop, who isn’t just a material girl: She’s embraced Kabbalah and the doctrine of reincarnation–in other words, she’ll be back!

Informative, irreverent, and brilliantly illustrated, Certitude is a book for our time.
