I bought this book for my social work degree, the module I used it for was Social Policy. I found the book informative and very useful. The information is easy to read and well set out. I would recommend this book to future students who may be studying social policy.

I was really pleased with this when I read it. Thought it would be quite a dry subject area but it really isn't. The author has done well to write it in an engaging style. Very impressed.

Parts of it are pretty heavy going - It's clear Stephen Walsh is a "databuster" rather than a new Patrick Holford but there are great "Veganism for Dummies" sections at the end of each chapter.
Pages and pages of research - Walsh must have spent years in The British Library finding all those studies.
He says you could eke out an extra 10 years of healthy living compared with following the average western diet - it's got to be worth the £7.95 for the chance of that alone!
Hopefully this book will inspire you to buy one of the excellent new healthy vegan cookbooks on Amazon (ISBN 0600611906 £7.19), visit The Vegan Society Website and make a difference to people, animals and the environment.

Even sitting on the bookshelf, `Mastering Perl/Tk' looks a bit daunting - in terms of page count it's not far short of the Camel book itself - but it's rather different in terms of content. `Mastering Perl/Tk' is a ground-up guide to developing GUIs in Perl without having to resort to the horrors of Windows/X11 programming in C.
As you might expect, Perl/Tk is a set of Perl bindings for Tcl/Tk and the Tk.pm module provides a whole host of widgets which you won't find in a standard Tcl/Tk distribution, and the book covers them all in detail. Better still, from my point of view, prior knowledge of Tcl/Tk isn't a prerequisite although a basic grasp of the techniques is useful. Prior knowledge of Perl *is* essential, and this book is aimed ... Read More:
