For those not familiar with all the who's who of sainthood--did you know there's a patron saint of the Internet?!--here's an alphabetical listing of Christian saints by beneficiary group. From St. Matthew, who looks after accountants, to St. Clement of Rome, protector of yachtsmen (I guess zookeepers have yet to secure their own patron), this comprehensive, entertaining, and forgivably irreverent guidebook introduces a whole host of heavenly saints, summarizing each one's life story and explaining how they became associated with various groups--from writers and procrastinators to victims of toothaches and families stressed by houseguests!
