In a world where conspiracy theories have never been so popular, it's difficult to know who to believe. Should we be more afraid of fluoride in our drinking water, or invisible chemical trails in the air we breathe? Are world affairs decided by democratically elected politicians, or by shadowy groups of powerful individuals with private agendas? Balancing what the theorists say with the official line, here is all the evidence you need to decide for yourself exactly how paranoid you should be.

101 Problems for the Armchair Scientist

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was conceived against the backdrop of rapid change in the scientific world. And the science that inspired it is almost as strange as the novel itself. Shelley grew up surrounded by several of Europe's prominent scientific thinkers and was familiar with experimentation into reanimation of corpses as well as the heated debate over "the elixir of life". She was a frequent visitor to St Bart's operating theatre, where spectators witnessed surgery performed without anaesthetic. Her monster was born in an era of bodysnatching, dissections and the philosophy of Vitalism.

This book offers an engrossing insight into the world of science in late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth-century Europe, through the prism of the seminal science fiction novel. Illustrated with line drawings and colour plates, it reveals how the monster was conceived, suggests the real-life basis for Victor Frankenstein and describes in vivid detail the experiments that might have led to the Creature's birth. It also looks at incarnations of the monster since the book was published and modern interpretations of the "mad scientist", as well as looking ahead to permanent bionic limbs, implants and other wonders.

The Shadow Warrior

For centuries, the ninja has occupied a unique place in Japanese culture, straddling the border between fact and folklore. Through classical art, traditional proverbs, and superb research, this exquisitely designed volume takes a look back into the origins and history of these notorious “shadow warriors.” Explore their traditions and guiding philosophy, their weapons and martial-arts skills, their mystique as stealthy black-clad assassins, and their enduring appeal as icons of popular culture. A timeline goes back beyond even the very first ninjalike figure, and follows the movement right through the 1800s, when the final ninja mission ever was recorded: the attempt to infiltrate Commodore Perry’s “black ships” off Japan.

Numbers can provide a fresh and powerful perspective, sharpening the fuzzy outlines of history and bringing more obscure historical players to the fore. They can also offer interesting entry points into broad historical themes. Some numbers even feel as though they can tell a whole story with a few digits. For example, did you know that between 1619 and 1865, African American slaves provided 222.505,049 hours of forced labor? Or that 191 people were killed trying to cross the Berlin Wall?
