BOOK OF PHOBIAS AND MANIAS (PB)

Do you shudder at the sight of a spider? Twitch with nomophobia when you misplace your mobile phone? Do your book-buying habits verge on bibliomania? Perhaps you find yourself mired in indecision and uncertainty (or do you?) Our phobias and manias are contradictory: deeply intimate, yet forged by the times we live in - the commonest form of anxiety, but rarely given a formal diagnosis. Plunge into this rich, surprising and fascinating A-Z compendium to discover how our fixations have, ironically, changed from pre-history to the present day.
