This book is not for beginners. If you only want to know what the Quran says and what its teachings are, look elsewhere (and not the least in the Quran itself ...). But for those, who already have some ideas about the content of the Quran, Cook's book is essential reading: It will tell you neatly what the problems are in interpreting the Quran; what its role in daily Muslim life was and still is; what impact it has had as a sacred Scripture down the centuries. And yes, it does demand some attention from the reader, and it is not the classical book to be read in the tube, so the book's designation as "Introduction" comes with a grain of salt. But things are not easy, and it is much to the credit to the author that he doesn't shun difficult and ... Read More:

I particularly enjoyed reading the first chapter about the role of the nurse, I found it informative and sets the scene of nursing today including what is expected of you as a student and once a qualified staff nurse. I enjoyed reading that it didn't just focus on what a nurse does but continued that by going more in-depth into the clinical governance issues associated with nursing such as ethics, professional standards, accountability and further development once qualified. I think it is important that as a student nurse that you are aware of your role as a professional and I think that too often foundation books fail to include this and focus primarily on the here and now. The history of nursing really enabled me to get a feel and fully appreciate ... Read More:

I found this book rather bizarre. It features recipes for fried eggs (ingredients eggs and oil), rice (ingredients rice and water), mashed potatoes etc... Apparently in Thailand children eat rice for breakfast, lunch and tea and in Ireland they eat plates of potatoes - just potatoes. Considering all the hundreds of possible recipes which come from these countries the author has summed up their cuisine a little too simply and done a great disservice to both the countries and to anyone who buys this book and thinks that is really all that is eaten. It made me question the rest of the information in the book which may have been correct. It does contain some nice little recipes but take the generalisations with a pinch of salt.

Vegetarian Cooking for People with Diabetesby: Pat Stevenson, Patricia Bertron, Michael Cook March 23, 2002 |

I bought this book and I'm very unimpressed indeed. There is a lot of diabetes health information, although I knew all of this already and just wanted some new recipe ideas, but unfortunately, as a cookbook it's very poor indeed- there aren't very many recipes, and there are whole pages dedicated to things which should really IMHO just be footnotes. One "recipe" for example is for "lighter side of blt" which is basically telling you to make up a blt using shop-bought faux bacon and wholemeal bread... as if that isn't glaringly obvious! There's a couple of okay recipes thrown in, but lots of fillers. If it's recipes you're after, buy a regular vegan cookbook instead, and just avoid using sugar and processed "white" foods.

John H. Arnold called this "the first really important book of the twentieth-first century". Granta Books must have loved that! Hyperbole aside, this is an impressive overview of human history - by far the best I've read in this field (and I seem to have been averaging at least one a year for the past decade). Cook is professor of Near East Studies at Princeton. His overview is different from other similar works in that he explains in beautifully clear prose how physical geography plays a part in the development of civilisations. Cook's descriptions of the Mediterranean and Chinese civilisations are carefully married to illustrations of the seas, peninsulas, deserts, mountains, rivers and climatic phenomena that played a part in ...
