2009 reprint of 1931 edition. Paperback, 310pp. The aim of this
book has been to give, in richly anecdotal form, the human traits
that have contributed to our cyclic depressions, from those
connected with the early land booms through to the Great Depression
of the late 1920s. A very good history of the financial panics in
America from 1830-1930.
Full of surprising anecdotes, curious facts and historical
oddities, this remarkable little book connects observations from
our everyday lives to the scientific principles that explain them.
You will find information on organic produce, irradiated foods,
trans fat and fat substitutes, natural herbs, designer drugs,
smallpox, Mad Cow Disease, Prions, Anthrax, cancer, DNA testing,
global warming, acid rain, aphrodisiacs, pheromones, and much more.
Chances are if there is something you were wondering about, you
will find it covered here. Should you be eating margarine? Are cell
phones safe? Read on! The author has avoided scientific jargon and
mathematics to make this book of interest to nonscientists and
scientists alike.
