Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. History. What a mess. If only people hadn't been involved. They just can't help themselves. Or, most of the time, other people. As we scour the annals of the past, one thing's for sure: it won't be long before two little words and one rude one pop involuntarily into our heads. Maybe it's something someone did. Maybe it's something someone said. Maybe it's just how people were. Sometimes it's good, more often it's bad. Sometimes it's very bad indeed. Whatever the case, the result's the same: words fail us. Except for two little ones. And a rude one. Join maverick historian-archaeologist Professor Jasper Heathcoat-Beech as he cherry picks the last few thousand years for choice cuts of jaw-dropping human hokum, extraordinary examples of bonkers brilliance and stuff that's just plain strange. The royal surgeon convinced that a woman had given birth to rabbits; the notorious 'Dancing Plague' that transfixed Strasbourg in 1518; snipers disguised as dead horses; an ancient Greek vending machine and Chinese south-pointing chariots; the excesses of Emperor Nero and Queen Cleopatra; the foibles of Queen Victoria and the foot-in-mouth follies of Kaiser Wilhelm II; the ultra-weird worlds of out-there art, music and science; eccentric explorers and the deadly peril posed by a submarine's toilet; Babylonians, Burgundians, Byzantines, Vikings, oh - and shoguns too. An A-Z of WTFs in History does what it says on the cover - to the letter. Professor Jasper Heathcoat-Beech is a pen name. In real life, the author has a First-Class Honours Degree in Classics and a PhD in Late Antique/Early Medieval History from the University of Cambridge. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. It's three years since publication of The Plums of Plato. A game-changer. A disruptor. A global publishing phenomenon. If only it had been all - or just one - of these. Nevertheless, the previously unknown texts it presented cast incredible new light on the great ancient Greek philosopher and the brilliant but bawdy, brutal world he lived in. And now a second set of long-lost texts has risen from the sludge of oblivion on a tide of public apathy. Join underachieving, over-credulous historian-archaeologist Professor Jasper Heathcoat-Beech as he serves up this fresh punnet of plum finds, revealing a period and place defined by extraordinary achievements in philosophy, politics, science and the arts - and by a whopping great dollop of absolute filth. All set for a second portion? Note: This is a spoof work of history. Professor Jasper Heathcoat-Beech is a pen name.
