Prof.Braunwald's "Heart Disease-A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine" is not only the most authoritative textbook on cardiovascular medicine,but also one of the greatest medical publications of all time.Despite being one of the newest textbooks on heart disease-its first edition was launched in 1980-it has grown in stature and has leapfrogged all its older rivals.It is the book which every cardiologist likes to have in his/her library,and to many of them it is "the Bible".It is no surprise,therefore,that most of us can hardly wait for its next edition and quite a few will be submitting an order before it is published.

Inevitably, because you need to be clear about the word "new" in the title. These are not the best stories from magazines or anthologies, drawn together as representing the cream of modern SF. They're a bunch of new stories, all by UK writers or set in the UK, created and compiled for this particular book. This causes quality problems -- these stories have not been acknowledged as good, but are seemingly simply whatever the authors came up with when called upon to contribute something. So there are a couple of excellent stories, ie when the authors actually made the effort, and a whole bunch of lousy stories and throw-aways. After all, writers are lazy like the rest of us. Why throw away a great, potentially money-making story on an anthology ... Read More:

Peter Mann is a 48 years old ex-curator of road transport at the Science Museum, London who hit upon the Big Idea of cycling around the coast of Britain. The only problem was that he was a runner with several marathons to his name, even an Everest base camp trekker, but never a cyclist. So he bought lots of books on cycle touring (listed at the back of the book), did a few weeks training on a friend's Super Galaxy, decided he needed suspension to smooth out the bumps and settled on a Moulton. He loaded this with everything he thought he needed, (the equipment list runs to 6 pages!), rented his flat and set off from London aiming for East Anglia. A novice cyclist abroad, he decided to record the minutiae of his experience along the way so we learn ... Read More:
