The Girl Who Gave Birth to Rabbits: A True Medical Mystery
Clifford A. Pickover
Presents an introduction to eighteenth-century science and its metaphor for scientific superstitions and politics. This book describes Mary Toft's story which contains perennial themes: science and superstition separated by the flimsiest of curtains, justice and morality, crime and punishment, and the basic fears at the core of human nature.
