Schey called Div, Grad, Curl, and all that.

In 1992, Robert Royal wrote 1492 And All That: Political Manipulations of History. From the dust jacket: "Spurning the false idealism and bland caricatures of historical actors that distort the arguments of both sides, Robert Royal surveys the available facts and political positions about Columbus and his legacy and seeks to find the truth among them. His provocative analysis recommends a better-balanced reading of our past and a wise use of that base for determining our common future."
In the 1960s, the railway enthusiasts' book "Four feet eight and a half and all that" was published in a comparable style by G. R. Mills, with the same mixture of puns and humour, which will be best appreciated by those who know their subject already. Now out of print but a collector's item. The title is a reference to the standard gauge of railway tracks.
In 2000, John W. O'Malley, SJ, published Trent and All That: Renaming Catholicism in the Early Modern Era. The book deals with historians' attempts to describe, name, and understand the "Catholic side" of Reformation-era Europe. The title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that most historians give the subject little thought beyond vague references to the Council of Trent.
