| 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. |

Franklin
In 1845 Captain Sir John Franklin led a large, well equipped expedition to complete the conquest of the Canadian Arctic, to find the fabled North West Passage connecting the North Atlantic to the North Pacific. Yet Franklin, his ships and men were fated never to return. Why did this outstanding scientific navigator find his ships trapped in pack ice seventy miles from magnetic north? In this riveting story of the Arctic, Andrew Lambert discovers a new Franklin: a character far more complex, and more truly heroic, than previous histories have allowed.
