Horrible histories for adults, these gruesome, bizarre and often hilarious medical case histories trace the evolution of modern medicine and the astonishing resilience of human life, both in body and spirit! • · A mysterious epidemic of dental explosions • · A teenage boy who got his wick stuck in a candlestick • · A remarkable woman who, like a human fountain, spurted urine from virtually every orifice • These are just a few of the anecdotal gems that have until now lain undiscovered in medical journals for centuries. This fascinating collection of historical curiosities explores some of the strangest cases that have perplexed doctors across the world • From seventeenth-century Holland to Tsarist Russia, from rural Canada to a whaler in the Pacific, many are monuments to human stupidity - such as the sailor who swallowed dozens of penknives to amuse his shipmates, or the chemistry student who in 1850 arrived at a hospital in New York with his penis trapped inside a bottle, having unwisely decided to relieve himself into a vessel containing highly reactive potassium

Who were the gangster women who risked everything to stay with the men of the underworld? • This gripping account chronicles the history of gangsters' molls and mob queens, from harbouring criminals to life on the run. Susan McNicoll investigates these intriguing unions from the heady days of the 1930s flapper era and beyond. Had they abandoned everything for love, or did the idea of being with these hardened criminals seem glamorous and exciting? • Covers the life stories of • Bonnie Parker, from the infamous Bonnie and Clyde double act • Virginia Hill, the glamorous girlfriend of Bugsy Siegel who died mysteriously • Evelyn Frechette, who was charged with harbouring murderous mobster John Dillinger • Vi Mathis, the partner of Kansas City massacre gunman Verne Miller • With photographs to accompany these shocking tales, Gangster Women is an honest and gritty account of these "gun molls" and their criminal lovers

For believers and skeptics alike, A Doubter's Guide to World Religions introduces the five major world religions so that you can explore their similarities and differences in a fair and engaging way • The world is a very religious place. Wherever you look, people are worshipping, praying, believing, following, even dying for their faith. But what does it mean to be religious? Are all religions the same? Do they all call on the same God simply using different names? Are their beliefs and practices simply cultural expressions of the same spiritual longings? • Written by historian and theologian John Dickson in his characteristically engaging style, this book presents each of the world's five major systems of faith, carefully outlining the history, doctrines, beliefs, and spiritual practices of • Hinduism ("The Way of Release") • Buddhism ("The Way of Enlightenment") • Judaism ("The Way of the Torah") • Christianity ("The Way of the Christ") • Islam ("The Way of Submission") • In his own words, Dickson acts as an art curator in a gallery, presenting each of these "works of art" in their best light and letting each have their say

Can the Euro be saved? Should it be? • Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz dismantles the prevailing consensus around what ails Europe - arguing that economic stagnation is a direct result of the Euro's flawed birth, demolishing the champions of austerity and offering solutions that can rescue the continent from further devastation
