Hoo-Ha!: History's Commotions, Sensations, Fusses, Flaps, Rucks & Rumpuses

By Prof. Jasper Heathcoat-Beech

Are you one of those rather odd people who actually love a good fuss or flap? Do you revel in a bit of a commotion, sensation, ruck or rumpus? If so, history could definitely be your thing - and so could this book.

Hitch a ride with controversial historian-archaeologist Professor Jasper Heathcoat-Beech on his latest wayward wander through the past, as he probes some of his favourite hullaballoos from the last 3000 years.

The Piltdown Man hoax; the overthrow of Ramesses III; Tulip Mania; Julius Caesar's assassination; the chaotic career of Alcibiades; the search for aliens who might actually be worth talking to - these are just some of the topics Professor Heathcoat-Beech barely has a grip on. But, as ever, he can't wait to welcome you on board the history express for a truly epic trip down several of the past's stranger sidings.

Just don't make a fuss...

Note: Professor Jasper Heathcoat-Beech is a pen name. In real life, the author has a First-Class Honours Degree in Classics and a PhD in Late Antique & Early Medieval History from the University of Cambridge.
