Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Behind the mist of Mussoorie lie hidden tales that have spooked its residents and visitors for generations. In Ghost Stories from Mussoorie, Anmol Jain, its resident supernatural chronicler, explores the dark side of a town steeped in history and lore. This is a spine-tingling journey into the spirit world where supernatural beings become part of reality. From the hitchhiking chudail seeking a ride from unsuspecting drivers to spectral Paris descending upon Mussoorie's Pari Tibba every night, each story comes with a 'ghost-guarantee' to send shivers down your spine. Encounter the restless spirits of a haunted house, a cobbler warned by a Yaksh to mend his 'soul', and a benevolent teacher's ghost protecting the school children he once taught. Explore the dark past of the 'Old Mines'--believed to be the most haunted place in India--and find out about the 'extractors' who extract oil from human bodies, both dead and alive These true accounts might just make you stop questioning whether ghosts are real. Do the ghosts outnumber the tourists? Or vice-versa? Mussoorie appears to have been taken over by both. But the ghosts are still scarier, as you will find out if you read Anmol Jain's collection of hill station horrors. --Ruskin Bond.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. From the ravages of the Ebola virus in Zaire to outbreaks of pneumonic plague in India and drug-resistant TB in New York City, contagious diseases are fighting back against once-unconquerable modern medicine. Public concern about infectious disease is on the rise as newspapers trumpet the arrivals of new germs and the reemergence of old ones. In A Field Guide to Germs, Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Wayne Biddle brings readers face to face with nearly one hundred of the best-known (in terms of prevalence, power, historical importance, or even literary interest) of the myriad pathogens that live in and around the human population. Along with physical descriptions of the organisms and the afflictions they cause, the author provides folklore, philosophy, history, and such illustrations as nineteenth century drawings of plague-induced panic, microscopic photographs of HIV and Ebola, and wartime posters warning servicemen against syphilis and gonorrhea. From cholera to chlamydia, TB to HIV, bubonic plague to Lyme disease, rabies to Congo-Crimean encephalitis, anthrax to Zika fever, and back to good old rhinitis (the common cold), A Field Guide to Germs is both a handy reference work to better understand today's headlines and a fascinating look at the astonishing impact of micro-organisms on social and political history.…
