| Synopsis: |
The disfiguring, the disorienting and the plain disgusting in one small volume - how to recognise, treat and prevent the diseases you'd really rather not have. To most people, a cold is an inconvenience. Disease and illness, on the other hand, smacks of drama, evil disfigurements and remote tropical locations full of witch-doctors and weird and wonderful - even deadly - insects. If you've ever wondered what catching a really scary disease is like, you'll find out here. Every illness you've ever shuddered at is here, from rabies to Ebola, bird flu to elephantiasis. You can find out where it's most prevalent, what to expect if you get it and how it can be treated if it does strike without warning. And of course, there are illustrations to make sure you know exactly how revolting each disease will make you look and feel if you were to contract it. If you've ever wanted to travel to remote locations, enjoyed disaster films featuring killer viruses or wondered whether that lump on your arm was more than just a bump, this book will be a source of fascination - and it just might save your life, too. |

Between the Assassinations
Nestling on India's southern coast lies the town of Kittur. Ranging through the city's streets and schoolyards, bedrooms and businesses, its inner workings and its outer limits, through the myriad and distinctive voices of its inhabitants, this book presents an entire world. From the author of 'The White Tiger'.
|
So Much for That
The extraordinary new novel from the Orange Prize winning author of 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'. 'So Much For That' is a deeply affecting novel, told with Lionel Shriver's trademark originality, intelligence and acute perception of the human condition.
|
White Egrets
A collection of poems that treats such subjects as - the Caribbean's complex colonial legacy, the Western artistic tradition, the blessings and withholdings of old Europe (Andalucia, the Mezzogiorno, Amsterdam), the unaccomodating sublime of the new world, time's cunning passages, and the poet's place in all of this.
