Genius and InsanityGenius and Insanity

A collection of puzzles of different kinds. It is the same book offered for download, but printed in black and white without a couple of colour graphics (171 pages). I thought the book would be too expensive if printed in colours for only a couple of pages .

Panic!: The Story of Modern Financial Insanity (Audiobook, mp3)Panic!: The Story of Modern Financial Insanity (Audiobook, mp3)

Lewis (Liars Poker) takes readers on a spin through notable recent financial catastrophes including the stock markets 1987 crash, the Russian default and related failure of hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management, the Asian currency crisis, the Internet bust and the recent subprime debacle. While the collection is comprehensive and contains varied and learned commentary, the presented crises beg for more thorough treatment. Lewis is content to rehash the past with (undeniably compelling) previously published analysis by the likes of economists Joseph Stieglitz and Paul Krugman and Wall Street Journal reporters Gregory Zuckerman and Roger Lowenstein

Dangerous Motherhood: Insanity and Childbirth in Victorian BritainDangerous Motherhood: Insanity and Childbirth in Victorian Britain

Dangerous Motherhood is the first study of the close and complex relationship between mental disorder and childbirth. Exploring the relationship between women, their families and their doctors reveals how explanations for the onset of puerperal insanity were drawn from a broad set of moral, social and environmental frameworks, rather than being bound to ideas that women as a whole were likely to be vulnerable to mental illness.
