  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The Fast & Furious franchise is an American action series centered on street racing, heists, and spies. It began with The Fast and the Furious (2001), based on a magazine article about underground street racing. The series evolved from street racing to heists with Fast Five (2011). The franchise includes films, short films, a television series, and theme park attractions. The series has become Universal's biggest franchise and is the eighth highest-grossing film series of all time, with over $7 billion in revenue. The franchise has had a diverse cast and wide audience appeal. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Fast & Furious franchise began with the 2001 film "The Fast and the Furious", which was inspired by a 1998 Vibe magazine article called "Racer X". The film's concept involved an undercover cop infiltrating the world of street racing in Los Angeles. 
    
  Vin Diesel initially declined to return for the sequel, citing an inferior screenplay, and director Rob Cohen also passed on the project, leading to a standalone sequel with Paul Walker in the lead. John Singleton was brought in as the new director for the second film. 
    
  "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" was originally conceived as a standalone film with no original cast members, but it introduced the character Han Lue and later brought Vin Diesel back for a cameo. The movie shifted the series focus to car enthusiasts and filming outside of the United States.

  An immersive history of a pivotal stretch of water 
  ‘Fascinating, spellbinding, erudite and great fun.’ Roddy Doyle 
  ‘Remarkable. Lively … Gower writes beautifully [and] the book is profoundly popular.’ Times Literary Supplement 
  The Turning Tide is a hymn to a sea passage of world-historical importance. Combining social and cultural history, nature-writing, travelogue and politics, Welshman Jon Gower charts a sea which has carried both Vikings and saints; invasion forces, royals and rebels; writers, musicians and fishermen. 
  The divided but interconnected waters of the Irish Sea – from the narrow North Channel through St George’s Channel to where the Celtic sea opens out into the wide Atlantic – have a turbulent history to match the violence of its storms. Jon Gower is a sympathetic and interested pilot, taking the reader to the great shipyards of Belfast and through the mass exodus of the starving during the Irish Famine in coffin boats bound for America. He follows the migrations of working men and women looking for work in England and tells the tales of more casual travellers: sometimes seasick, often homesick too. 
  The Irish Sea is also a place with an abundant natural history. The rarest sea bird in Europe visits its coasts in summer while the rarest goose wings in during winter. 
  The Turning Tide navigates waters teeming with life, filled with seals and salt-tanged stories and surveyed by seabirds. Lyrically written and fizzing with curiosity, this is a remarkable and far-reaching book. 
  The latest work from award-winning author Jon Gower, The Turning Tide, is a short-listed masterpiece that delves into the geography of Ireland and Britain. This prize-winning book is a testament to his winning storytelling, making it a top pick for readers. 
  For fans of John Lewis-Stempel (The War Behind the Wire), Mark Rees (The Little Book of Welsh Culture), Stephen Rule (Welsh and I), Alice Roberts (The Little Book of Humanism), and Darren Chetty (How to Disagree).

  Mughal Empire - The Taj Mahal...

  The Mughal Empire emerged as one of the most powerful and influential dynasties in Indian history, leaving a lasting impact on culture, architecture, and governance. Its foundation was laid by Babur, a descendant of both Timur and Genghis Khan, who established Mughal rule in the early 16th century. Babur's military prowess and strategic vision enabled him to defeat the Delhi Sultanate in the First Battle of Panipat in 1526. This victory marked the beginning of Mughal dominance in the Indian subcontinent. However, Babur’s reign was short-lived, and it was his grandson, Akbar, who truly solidified the empire’s foundation. 
  Akbar ascended the throne at a young age and quickly proved himself to be an exceptional leader. His reign, which lasted from 1556 to 1605, was marked by territorial expansion, administrative reforms, and a commitment to cultural and religious harmony. Unlike previous rulers, Akbar recognized the diversity of India and sought to integrate different communities into his empire. He abolished the jizya tax on non-Muslims, promoted interfaith dialogue, and appointed talented individuals from various backgrounds to key positions in his administration. His policy of religious tolerance and inclusive governance earned him the loyalty of many, contributing to the stability and prosperity of the empire. 
  One of Akbar’s most remarkable achievements was the establishment of an efficient administrative system. He divided his empire into provinces, each governed by appointed officials who reported directly to the central authority. This system ensured effective governance and facilitated tax collection, trade, and law enforcement. Additionally, Akbar introduced a standardized revenue system that helped regulate the economy and promote agricultural growth. His emphasis on merit-based appointments created a well-organized bureaucracy that endured long after his reign.
