The front cover doesn't show any cross or religious symbol that would show the actual book's content. Neither the back cover reveals it; it just gives misleading extracts like the history of velcro. It's only reading the introduction that you can know what kind of book it is: religious. All the discovers that are written in the book are related to God. God is the inspiration of the discovers, the comets travel because of God, this and that happens because of God, and so on... it even includes Bible's verses, and relates them with the discoveries. If you look for a book about curious facts on Discovery, stay away from this book, unless you are very religious too.

For the name, the front and the back cover, one feels like if the author was cheating to catch buyers for his books by disguising the real catechism inside.
