Daily Show with Jon Stewart presents

ix, 244 p. : ill. (chiefly col.), col. maps ; 27 cm.

Earth: everything you need to know about this gently-used, pre-owned planet -- Life: a comprehensive guide to things that can be killed -- Man: an introduction to the solar system's original "bad boys" -- The life cycle: we called this living -- Society: how we overcame our basic humanity for the greater good -- Commerce: you didn't have to be crazy to work here--but it helped -- Religion: we were sure someone was in charge -- Science: discovering nature's majesty, and then fixing it -- Culture: the ultimate expression of our humanity, minus 10% commission.

Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show embark on a mission to write a book that sums up the human race: what we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science and culture.

Stewart, Jon, 1962-
