Review:I am a great admirer of Dawkins and his lucid writing, but was curious to see wether this applied to writing for youngsters (having a 15 year old grandson). Happily this turned out to be the case. A minor point: as a MD I thought the medical part a little bit weak. Read more

Review:This is the first math book I picked up since I left college with a M.Sc in Math 23 years ago. It reinvigorates my propensity towards mathematics.

OK read. Read more

Review:A number of people may bring out a number of axiomless 'proofs' in refuting this work, which is fine; GEB:EGB treads upon feet firmly planted in the grottoes of philosophy departments. (The word "discredited" is the alarm call of these philosophers, as if fads are beautiful enough to determine truth.)
Whatever the case may be, this is a very interesting book. Take a look at it in the bookstore, then buy or order it from Amazon if you find that you like what 'interesting' can mean. Read more

Review:Fascinating study of the psyche.Insightful exploration of the myths which inform our subconscious. While the binding is sturdy, the quality of the paper is poor. Of course, this is the publisher's issue; still, I was disappointed. Read more
