Dr. Garrett shares many fascinating stories from his long career as a pathologist. Some of his "patients" were victims of some of Britain's most notorius killers. Others were killed by mobsters, the friendly neighbour, or even their father or husband. The doctor also gives us a glimpse into the working conditions of the mortuaries, which I hope have improved since then! Even if some cases propably were pretty straightforward, the author manages to create a suspense that kept me from putting the book down. There are also a lot of "english understatement" that adds to books over-all quality.
The weakest passages are where the dear doctor moves to fields where he has no expertise, and may I add, not very well funded opinions. It is not surprising ... Read More: >>More Details |

Calum's Roadby: Roger Hutchinson November 19, 2007 Best Selling > Books > Science, Mathematics and Technology |

Read this in one night after having put off reading it for months. It's a wonderful read and all the better for it being true and not over romanticised by the author, though I imagine it was a real labour of love. Inspirational and humbling at the same time, and really makes you question what you've achieved in your own little life. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

I almost didn't bother reviewing Running for the Hills, as I assumed it would have a least 100 5 star reviews and wouldn't need my contribution, so was surprised to see several one star reviews. If you read this book solely for the action, then it's going to disapopint. And yes, sheep feature frequently (but as it's set on a hill farm and not in outer space you might have guessed this from the start). But this book doesn't enchant for the intricacies of plotting or cliff-hanger action, but for the sheer quality of the prose. I must admit to a few qualms when Clare fictionalised his parents' relationship, writing in a memoir about events that took place before he wasn't born, but it's so beautifully written that you are absorbed into the sweep of the narrative ...

Isaac Newtonby: James Gleick June 07, 2004 Best Selling > Books > Science, Mathematics and Technology |
||
|
James Gleick writes well and tells the story of Newton's life in a readable fashion, but this book didn't really add anything to what I already knew about the great man. It would be a good introduction if you don't already know about Newton's life and work, but not worth bothering if you do know something of the subject.
And I agree that the notes should have been included in the text! Charlie T. >>More Details |

Unbowed: My Autobiographyby: Wangari Maathai March 06, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Science, Mathematics and Technology |
List Price: £8.99 Vegetarian Books Price: £6.99 You Save: £2.00 (22%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.83 |

This is a wonderful book, telling the life story of a remarkable and courageous lady. Prof Maathai's account is at once wry, compassionate, impassioned and reasonable. Her wisdom gleaned from her experiences growing up in rural Kenya, coupled with her formidable intelligence and academic credentials make her a lady to be reckoned with; her assessment of the plight of her own country is piercing, yet brimming with hope. Her inspirational work with the Green Belt Movement emphasises the enormous potential for good that can be harnessed from communities working together and recognising their dependency on each other and the physical world around them. Her comments on her political struggles and sufferings show her resolve and good grace. An inspirational book - read it!

I have read some interesting and unusual books in my time, but Druin Burch's Digging Up the Dead must be the most interesting and unusual book I have ever read. Indeed, I had initially been drawn to the dark, Gothic nature of the subject, but hadn't quite clocked the fact it was a non-fiction title. So when it popped through my door I was slightly taken aback to discover that it was actually a biography. But what a biography it turned out to be!
Digging Up the Dead looks at the life and times of arguably the world's first famous surgeon, Astley Cooper (1768-1841), whom Burch -- himself a medical doctor -- describes as vain, egotistical, nepotistic and "rather wonderful". Astley was born into a highly educated family -- his father was an Oxford-educated vicar, his uncle was ... Read More: >>More Details |

Suburban Shaman: Tales from Medicine's Front Lineby: Cecil Helman January 27, 2006 Best Selling > Books > Science, Mathematics and Technology |

This has to be one of my all time favourite books. Cecil Harman takes the reader on an enthralling read through his experience in general practic. Short cases are interspersed with anthropological snippets that make the reader stop short and examine their own thoughts and practices. A refreshing change from the tree hugging cardigan wearing approach to GP which unfortunately seems to be seeping into medical schools throughout the UK. This book has truly made me sit up and think and examine and reflect on my day to day practice.

I bought this book and have not put it down or want to. If you want to understand steve jobs this is the book. Also the book covers pixar once owned company of his and disney and also how star wars came together. In all i think this was a great read and recommended to anyone that wants to know about the history of apple, and the history behind the magician of apple.
