Based on the TV programme The Why Workshop, this is a mind-bending collection of impossible questions viewers ask, from "Why are dusters yellow?" to "How do plant seeds know which way is Up?". For instance, why is loss of memory linked to having a baby? The answer is that the mother's brain undergoes changes to make it more emotionally sensitive, and as the authors point out, a baby will appreciate a mother who understands why it's crying rather than one who can recite 100 digits of pi. Why do men go bald? The cause is the male hormone testosterone, and an ancient Egyptian remedy was a medicinal lotion made of boiled porcupine quills, or alternatively a female greyhound's leg fried in oil with a donkey's hoof. So how and when did it become the norm to have three meals a day? The Romans only had lunch, and for the next two millennia it was two meals, but the Industrial Revolution with its longer working hours created a demand for three meals for working people. Now, you'll never get this one: in 1896, what was the 937th most popular name for a baby boy in America? Startlingly, it was Josephine. And the answers to the questions in the first sentence are that we don't know why dusters are yellow. Seed cells have microscopic balls called statoliths which drop to the bottom, so if that is where the roots should be, the stems grow in the opposite direction. Happy quizzing. 237pp, line drawings.

Juxtaposing the literature of jest against court records, sermons, and conduct books, Brown employs a witty, entertaining style to propose that non-elite women used jests to test the limits of their subjection. She also shows how women's mocking laughter could function as a means of social control in closely watched neighbourhoods. While official culture beatified the sheep-like wife and disciplined the scold, jesting culture often applauded the satiric shrew, whether her target was priest, cuckold, or rapist. Brown argues that listening for women's laughter can shed light on both the dramas of the street and those of the stage: plays from The Massacre of the Innocents to The Merry Wives of Windsor to The Woman's Prize taught audiences the importance of gossips' alliances as protection against slanderers, lechers, tyrants, and wife-beaters. Other jests, on the ale-house, cuckold jokes, female gossip, cony-catching pamphlets, ballads, jigs, and plays show women revelling in tales of female roguery or scoffing at the perverse patience of Griselda. As Brown points out, some women found Griselda types annoying and even foolish: better be a shrew than a sheep. Medieval line art illus, Cornell University Press 280 page paperback.

Age disgracefully! If tricky situations are hard to navigate, why not try adding some gin? From surviving apocalyptic hangovers, relationship niggles and endless laundry, maybe the answer is just eat cake! More than 100 modern colour funny cartoons in this chunky book take us through daily life with Rosie, making grown-up decisions about important things like cake. On Monday morning Rosie reflects that "every office has 3 people who do the work - and 15 people who just walk around with salads". Being healthy is uphill work, and there are unanswerable temptations: "You know when you buy a bag of salad and it gets all brown and soggy? Biscuits don't do that." And "when you are an adult you can have chocolate cake for breakfast and there is literally nobody policing this". Friends are important, and "A true friend reaches for your hand - and puts a big gin in it". At the end of the day you deserve a bit of R and R. "One day you're young and trendy. The next you're impressed by someone's washer/dryer." Housework - not doing it - looms large. "I fantasize about having two men at once. One cleaning and one mending stuff." There are consolations, though. "Marriage is like having a best friend - who doesn't remember anything you say." The answer is "Never grow up. It's for old people." No page numbers, well over 100 cartoons that hit the nail on the head every time.
