Recenzii
A WATERSTONES BEST POPULAR SCIENCE BOOK 2022
This fascinating compendium traces phobias and manias through their rich social, cultural and medical history
A new book from Summerscale is always a treat. She does vast amounts of research, and then manages to let go of it, and take flight in prose that is both forensic and conversational ... Her sub-title - 'A History of the World in 99 Obsessions' - might echo Neil MacGregor, but this reads more like a book by Oliver Sacks, with dashes of Roald Dahl
Fascinating ... Summerscale uses the same talent for elaborating on psychological tics that made her non-fiction thriller The Suspicions Of Mr. Whicher a top bestseller
This is an endlessly intriguing book, full of extraordinary stories and even the odd cure ... All the bibliomanes (book nutters) I know will love it
[An] entertaining compendium ... its tales are judiciously chosen, its factoids toothsome
Endlessly fascinating. It's a tantalising glimpse into the labyrinth of the human unconscious
We are all, in some way or other, plagued by fears and desires beyond our control ... Fascinating, beautifully written and thoroughly researched
Thought-provoking and such fun
A fascinating book
Fascinating ... Phobias and manias create a magical space between us and the world
An intriguing guide to human fixations
Fascinating... Exquisitely detailed and consistently insightful, this is an entertaining guide to humanity's compulsions
99 hard-to-stop-reading histories ... from the familiar (homophobia) to surprising fears of eggs, hair, silence and everything (pantophobia)
Informative, witty, and unique ... Summerscale, author of The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher and other well-regarded books, lists 99 fears and compulsions, and the result is a peculiarly engaging book
Magnificent
