On This Day in History Sh!t Went Down

The hilarious, irreverent guide to world history you never knew you needed, featuring 366 profanity-filled tales of triumph and terror, science and stupidity, courage and cowardice Those who cannot remember the past . . . need a history teacher who says "f*ck" a lot. Nazis are bad. The worst kind of bad. There are no very fine people among them. If you disagree, you won't like this book. Still here? Cool. You are about to receive an education unlike any you've previously experienced. In this uproarious and informative tour from ancient times to the modern day and everything in between, James Fell, the self-proclaimed "sweary historian," reveals a past replete with deeds both noble and despicable. Throughout the book, he provides insightful analysis of all the sh!t that went down. Behold! • In 1927, actress Mae West was sent to jail for "corrupting the morals of youth" with her first Broadway play, titled Sex. She served the time and followed up with a play about homosexuality. • In 1419, church reformers in Prague, vexed over their leader having been burned at the stake, defenestrated city leaders from a high window. They died, because those kinds of Czechs don't bounce. • If you were in the province of Shaanxi in China on January 23, 1556, then it sucked to be you. It wasn't the biggest earthquake ever, but it was the deadliest day in history. • In 362 B.C.E., a battle between Greek city states debilitated both sides, making the region ripe for conquering by Phillip of Macedon-aka Alex the Great's dad-and spelling the end of Greek democracy. • In 1343, the husband of noblewoman Jeanne de Clisson was unjustly executed by the king of France. Furious, Jeanne became a pirate, selling all her possessions to fund a fleet and exact revenge. • During World War II, three Dutch teens used their beauty to lure Nazis into the forest with the promise of a good time, then out came the guns and BLAM! They sent them off to Nazi hell. If reading history doesn't make you want to swear like a mom with a red-wine hangover walking barefoot through a LEGO-filled living room, then you're not reading the right history. Across the ages, over 100 billion humans have lived and died. Some were motivated by greed, others by generosity. Many dedicated themselves to the art of killing, while others were focused on curing. There have been grave mistakes, and moments of greatness. And that is why . . . sh!t happens. Every day.

Hauntings: A Book of Ghosts and Where to Find Them Across 25 Eerie British Locations

Brought to you by Penguin. For longer than recorded history there have been tales of spirits and of places where our hackles rise and our skin turns cold. Bestselling historian Neil Oliver travels the British Isles on a deliciously spine-chilling tour that spans several centuries and explores more than 20 sites - castles, vicarages and towers, lonely shorelines and forgotten battlefields - to unpick their stories.. Oliver invokes his family's history alongside that of kings and queens past as he probes why our emotions and senses are heightened in certain locations where the separation between dimensions seems gossamer thin. Our landscape is riven with these places, creaking from the weight of the secrets they hold, the echoes of tragedy and dark deeds . From Inverness to Devon, Co Dublin to Norfolk, Hauntings casts an enjoyably eerie glow with stories that, told generation after generation, are inextricable from place - and considers why they matter. ©2023 Neil Oliver (P)2023 Penguin Audio

[German] - Deutsch vom Scheitel bis zur Sohle - Ein Vademecum - Die Andere Bibliothek, Band 466 (Ung

Ein Spaziergang durch die Seelenlandschaft der Deutschen mit Bestseller-Autor Asfa-Wossen Asserate Als Asfa-Wossen Asserate im Sommer 1968 zum Studieren aus Addis Abeba nach Tübingen kam, geriet er mitten hinein in die Studentenbewegung. Inzwischen besitzt der äthiopische Prinz die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft, von seinen englischen Freunden wird er liebevoll 'My favourite Kraut' genannt. Nach über fünfzig Jahren in Deutschland ist es an der Zeit für ein persönliches Fazit. Im vorliegenden Buch - der Autor nennt es ein Vademecum - geht er deutschen Eigenheiten, Marotten und Klischees auf den Grund und spart dabei seine eigenen Vorlieben nicht aus. Das Alphabet erlaubt es ihm, leichtfüßig von einem Thema zum nächsten zu springen: von der Autobahn zur Bratwurst, von der Freikörperkultur zum Gartenzwerg, von der Kehrwoche zur Kuckucksuhr, von der Waldeinsamkeit bis zum Zapfenstreich.
