You`re standing around with a glass of wine and someone starts talking about how the stock market did that day leading to the career highs of Ben Bernanke and the best way to short a stock. You stand there completely silent because you know nothing about the stock market, let alone the history of economics. You`re being pushed to the outside edge of the pack and there`s no way to reach gracefully for your iPhone and Google. Fear not: Imogen Lloyd Webber is on a mission to make everyone as conversationally nimble as she has learned to be as a cable news pundit. Her solution: get a few cheat sheets and study up. Remember cheat sheets, those slips of paper filled with facts? As Imogen might say "Google is good, but a cheat sheet is forever ..." In eight cheat sheets, Imogen takes you through the facts that come up in most conversations: the English language, math/economics, religion, history, politics, geography, biology and culture. From the history of money to who signed The Magna Carta, Imogen shows you how to get back in a conversation, win any argument and most importantly, how to pivot out of a tough conversational bind. Imogen Lloyd Webber`s The Cheat Sheets will help you talk with anyone about anything anytime. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK mbidar 2025-08-11 11:07:01 mbidar 2025-08-11 11:07:01 13569 13393 13393 0 0 ddc 0 0 BED BED BED 2025-12-21 1 CIR 395.5 L79i 2016 SH0769 2026-05-29 2026-04-23 11:47:28 2026-04-23 2025-12-21 BK
