        When the brain goes haywire: 36 rare and unusual psychiatric syndromes

        by Monika Niehaus

        The human brain is a wondrous thing, highly complex and highly functional. However, the control centre of our feelings, thoughts and actions can sometimes go out of sync. Some reasons for this are known, such as genetic factors, hormonal effects or trauma. In other cases, we are still in the dark. In an extreme case scenario, the brain may create bizarre delusions – masterful narrations that the people affected fi nd completely conclusive and reasonable. Monika Niehaus has compiled 36 such disorders ranging from love madness and the gourmand syndrome – where gourmet food becomes the purpose of life – to people who desire nothing more than to have their limbs amputated. She tells gripping tales of famous and not so famous cases. With sensitivity and a considerable dose of humour she takes us into the history of art and literature, and presents scientifi c explanations. This fascinating book shows that our brain is a genius – and madness is quite often NOT inexplicable.

        How Philosophers Fail Themselves

        The somewhat different historyof philosophy

        by Otto A. Böhmer

        — Philosophy for beginners — For philosophy enthusiasts — A pleasant read This truly brilliant book tells of the sometimes sublime, sometimes exhilarating efforts of philosophers to maintain their attitude in everyday life without forgetting the meaning of their own words – and how they ultimately failed to do so. The minor, sometimes bizarre events in the lives of the great philosophers fit so aptly in the picture of the respective philosophy that one has to assume they could have been conceived to keep the associated intellectual giant in a strange and memorable mood. A book of cheerful science, full of wit, narrative and linguistic eloquence.

        LE GRAND ART DES PETITES ESCROQUERIES

        THE GREAT ART OF SMALL SCAMS

        by SOPHIE ENDELYS

        A passionate author, a gourmet editor, a stalking pianist, a depressive puppeteer, a seductive psychologist, a ghost lawyer, a mother hen concierge, a poetry glasses maker ... these are the main characters of this suspense fiction novel where lies and manipulation are at the heart of a story full of mysteries.   2010 - Clémence James, a silent and lonely pianist, receives a package containing 502 drawings made by her mother Julia, during her long hospital stay in a Norman convent after a serious car accident. Clémence is upset because her mother was declared dead just after the tragic event in 1989. These sketches prove she was alive until 1999. Ten years of lies … Clémence was unable to visit her. Julia James was a writer. Just before her accident, she took refuge in a small Norman house in order to finish working on her manuscript. It was entitled The Great Art of Small Scams. In her fascinating writings, Julia indicates the progress of her research into history of impostors, liars, and other deceivers. But these notes will remain a draft forever and, it is a shame for her editor Marius who, now retired, has chosen to drown his fears into the culinary art. Why did someone fake Julia’s death? Was it her husband, who was about to divorce and wanted to rush things in order to get married again quickly with another woman? Or her publisher, who granted her an astronomical advance he had to pay every month for the writing of a book that would never be released? And, was the accident really an accident? The truth is probably hiding near the Norman house where Julia stayed with her daughter at the twilight of her life. Behind the half-timbering of this house and across the surrounding area, a large-scale sham had emerged and had spread like weeds. Did the author find out about it? Twenty years later, Clémence is determined to drop the masks.

        The Heart of Cocoa

        500 Years of Chocolate History

        by Napoleone Neri

        The temptation par excellence, that craving that suddenly arises and we cannot fight it unless we satisfy it: the desire for chocolate. Perhaps it is because of this power that it is called the most loved food on the planet. Or perhaps it is because its cultivation, production and consumption - which has been growing strongly in the last 10 years - are spread across all continents. Napoleon Neri tells its story, starting with the plant and its fruit, from the pioneers of chocolate, to the birth of confectionery factories in the 19th century and then the great modern industries. He describes in detail the processing and transformation of cocoa beans, their beneficial properties, the sensory characteristics of the finished product, and spices everything up with a thousand anecdotes and curiosities that only those who have lived and worked in this world for so long can know.
