The Body in Questionby Jonathan MillerISBN 0712665994 (0-7126-6599-4)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Body in Question'Book summary:The Body in Question is a reprint of the 1980 book written by Dr Jonathan Miller to complement his then TV series. As the subject is the history and rationale of man's attitude to his own body, one might expect the book to have dated. After all, few things are more otiose than yesterday's medical knowledge. However, the author's lofty philosophical perspective, and distantly literary approach, ensure the text is as refreshingly different as when first written.
The book falls gracefully into eight sections, each dealing with some major aspect of medicine or anatomy. The first, Natural Shocks, concerns itself with the nervous system, the second section analyses the body's ailments, and diagnoses thereof. And so on. All the sections are liberally wreathed with allusion and anecdote: yes, there's plenty of stuff about the spleen and the pancreas-- there's also the surprising info that Mozart wrote tunes for robot pianos, and that a dog with no gullet will drink until it drops.
Anyone seeking practical medical knowledge should not look here; nor should anyone wanting relevant advice on, say, alternative medicine, or psychiatry: Miller's style and subject range is too pointed, choosy, cerebral. But that's also what makes this book so unique, and therefore engaging. --Sean Thomas [via]

-- Newsday
aking us through the upheavals in biological thought which made The Origins of Species possible, Jonathan Miller introduces us to that odd revolutionary, Charles Darwin -- a remarkably timid man who spent most of his life in seclusion; a semi-invalid riddled with doubts, fearing the controversy his theories might unleash; yet also the man who finally undermined belief in God's creation. Along the way we meet a fascinating cast of characters: Darwin's scientific predecessors, his contemporaries (including Alfred Russell Wallace, whose anticipation of natural selection forced Darwin to publish), his opponents, and his successors whose work in modern genetics provided necessary modifications to Darwin's own work.
Splendidly illustrated, this clever, witty, highly informative book is the perfect introduction to Darwin's life and thought. [via]More editions of Darwin for Beginners:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Stripped: Depeche Mode'Book summary:Depeche Mode are among the world's best-selling synth-led groups, selling in excess of 40 million albums. From Basildon boys to globetrotting stadium superstars, clean cut to drug-fuelled and back again, Depeche Mode have done it all and survived - quite literally in the case of vocalist Dave Gahan. By 2002, they had toured the world twice over, playing to a combined audience of over two million people, collecting numerous awards along the way. For this biography, the author has carried out exclusive interviews with founder member Vince Clark and producer Gareth Jones, and has included previously unpublished interview material with the band members themselves. Friends and family have also assisted Miller in unravelling Depeche Mode's unconventional working dynamic and artists including Gary Numan, Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby have helped to set the electronic music scene that Depeche Mode have come to preside over.
