Crazy Lawsuit Stories: Discover 101 of The Most Bizarre, Hilarious, and Mind-Boggling Lawsuits Ever!
A significant advantage of a democratic government, like that in the U.S., is a well-established judicial system. It gives citizens the opportunity to seek justice through the courts. However, the drawback is that some people use this opportunity to file cases that are strange, outlandish, and so absurd that they leave onlookers shaking their heads. Crazy Lawsuit Stories compiles a collection of such stories for your entertainment and pondering.
Readers can expect to find comical, concerning, and frivolous lawsuits within these pages.
Some of these include:
- The man who sued a bear
- The kidnapper who sued his hostages
- Well-known cases that became urban legend
- A teacher afraid of children
- And so much more!
Some of these lawsuits are indeed outrageously weird, but to the plaintiffs, they sought justice for what they believed was right. This book was designed to entertain its readers with these strange cases that saw their day in court.

More Than a Game: A History of How Sport Made Britain
‘Superb . . . Deserves to become a classic of sporting literature’ DAVID KYNASTON
‘Absolutely fascinating and completely eye-opening – every page contains a gem’ MARINA HYDE
‘A sparkling history’ MATTHEW ENGEL
The story of how the British shaped sport, and sport shaped the British.
Sport is an enduring element of British life and culture. In all its variety, it touches on so many significant aspects of past and present: national identity, class, gender, the relationship between country and town, the rise of commerce, the evolution of ethical debate. Our sporting arenas have witnessed triumphs and heartbreaks that have become part of the national narrative.
For a country so obsessed with the invention, playing and watching of sport, the story of how it has come to reflect us remains untold. David Horspool tracks each game as a driver of social change: horse-racing’s obsession with blood and money turned an aristocratic pastime into a national sport; boxing promoted opportunity for ethnic minorities, while simultaneously enforcing a regime of discrimination; golf rehearsed a perennial battle over Britain’s landscape; the football fan created an exuberant, often troubled culture at the centre of British life; and the Empire and Commonwealth Games emerged as an unexpected response to the end of the imperial story.
The history of Britain in sport is a history of popular heroes and pantomime villains – independence fighters, suffragettes, Jewish bare-knuckle boxers – all sharing and contesting loyalties, passions, winning and losing. More Than a Game captures these seminal stories, revealing how sport cemented its place as the ultimate theatre of Britain’s past, and its present.

Alaska Challenge: A Journey Through Uncharted Wilderness Leading to a New Life in a New Land
Having grown disillusioned with the tedious existence that is expected of young college students, the newlyweds Bill and Ruth Albee dream of heading to Alaska—on foot—by way of a vast blank space on the map that is modern day Western British Columbia.
Like most dreams it dug into their body, mind and soul and nothing could satisfy it until they had given it a try. So, in 1930 they started off, ignoring all warnings and leaving from Vancouver on foot up through western B.C.—following a route very few white men and absolutely no white women had been on—into the Yukon and then on to Alaska down the mighty Yukon River. A journey of many thousands of miles.
Enroute are the perils of bureaucratic red tape, starvation, wolves, the disappearing Rudy, dangerous rivers, a worthless map, crazy frontiersmen, a Russian woman and her stuffed dog, friendly and unfriendly natives, and an unplanned pregnancy.
Upon reaching their goal of Alaska and wondering where to go from there Bill and Ruth accept a remote school teaching assignment in an Inuit village off of the Cape Prince of Wales on the Bering Sea. This is where they will make their home for the next year teaching and learning from the Eskimo children and parents alike. The journey to become an accepted member of the village is fraught with trying and often hilarious episodes.
And the experiences worth every minute of the hardships. For Bill and Ruth discovered something far greater than the adventure. Greater than the experience of it all. Something great, wild, wonderful and truly unexpected. . . .

Be Fit, Live Free: A Fundamental Approach To Fitness Based On The Principles of Mother And Human Nature
Fitness, as we know it, is a relatively new scientific discipline that’s still in its infancy. As such, many popular “evidence-based” approaches to diet and exercise are still rooted in vague correlations and guesswork.Be Fit, Live Free is a new holistic model for how fitness works as a whole. This is not another diet or exercise program that’s hoping to trend on social media for a few months. Instead, this comprehensive unification theory explains how everything in fitness works from the ground up to give you the power to get what you want while allowing you the freedom to do things your way.
In Be Fit, Live Free, you’ll discover:
- Why almost all diet and exercise methods are based on an incomplete model based more on correlation than causation.
- Why it’s impossible for almost all diet and exercise programs to deliver on the promises they sell to you.
- The fundamental processes that control your weight, performance, and health, and why no single approach to fitness can work for everyone.

A History of Rugby in Leinster
Leinster – one of the most successful and influential Irish sporting teams of all time.
Established in 1879, they boast a dazzling roster of players, past and present, including Brian O’Driscoll, Johnny Sexton, Jamie Heaslip, and current captain James Ryan.
But there is so much more to rugby in Leinster, and, for the first time, this book compiles its rich history, from its foundation, through the amateur years, to the club’s many spectacular championships in the twenty-first century, when the national love for rugby kicked up a gear. Doolin ruminates on the sport’s relationships with politics and class, and of course celebrates all the breathless victories enjoyed by Leinster teams at every level.
And success doesn’t stop with silverware; since the nineteenth century Leinster Rugby has been influencing the spheres of education, business and politics throughout the province and the country as a whole. Nothing reflects the complexities of politics and identity in Ireland more than rugby.
A History of Rugby in Leinster is a vibrant celebration of sporting greatness and of Leinster’s enduring commitment to teamwork, integrity and community.
