    Child abuse casts a long shadow over the history of childhood. Across the centuries there are numerous accounts of children being beaten, neglected, sexually assaulted, or even killed by those closest to them. This book explores this darker side of childhood history, looking at what constituted cruelty towards children in the past and at the social responses towards it. Focusing primarily on England, it is a history of violence against children in their own homes, covering a large timeframe which extends from medieval times to the present. 
     
     
     
    Undeniably, the experience of children in the past was often brutal, and children were treated with, what seems to contemporary mores, callousness and cruelty. However, historians have paid far less attention to how the mistreatment of children was understood within its contemporary context. Most parents, both now and in the past, loved their children and there have always been widely shared understandings of the boundaries that separate the acceptable treatment of children from the intolerable and morally wrong. This book will examine how these boundaries have changed and been contested over time and, in doing so, provides a context to the many forms of violence experienced by children in the past.

    Why do individuals smoke, drink excessively, and consume foods that are harmful to their health? 
    How can ordinarily educated individuals come to believe in false news? 
      
    Let's go back in time to Victorian England to find out. 
      
    Corsets were required for ladies in Victorian times, according to a well-known anecdote. It's debatable how prevalent corsets were, but they compressed a woman's body like a snake, making her waist seem thinner. 
    Corsets were effective but so tight that they caused internal harm to women. They also induced atrophy in a woman's lower back. 
    Corsets were so constricting that ladies often collapsed while wearing them! 
      
    But here's the twist... 
      
    It was thought that fainting while wearing a corset was a good thing! It was seen as a sign of excellent breeding. 
    That is why we decided to write this book. You'll find the following inside: 
     The myths that lead to Aztec human sacrifice and how they are still prevalent todayRats transmit illness and plague, yet a "Temple of Rats" was built in India due to this mistaken notion.How to make oneself "stupid" since teaching brighter people is HARDER!Why you should be wary of anybody who quotes an authoritative figure

    Irwin Allen Ginsberg (June 3, 1926 - April 5, 1997), born in Newark NJ, was an American poet and writer. As a student at Columbia University in the 1940s, he began friendships with Lucien Carr, William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, forming the core of the Beat Generation. He vigorously opposed militarism, economic materialism, and sexual repression, and he embodied various aspects of this counterculture with his views on drugs, sex, multiculturalism, and hostility to bureaucracy. "America" is a poem by Ginsberg written in 1956.
