› Find signed collectible books: 'Awakenings'
It hardly seems fair that so many great doctors are also great writers. Perhaps it's qualities like sensitivity, craft, and dedication that keep physicians like Oliver Sacks in hospitals all day and at writing desks all night; if nothing else, these qualities shine in books like Awakenings. This powerful set of case histories rises above its pathological foundation to find new literary territory, a medical-spiritual synthesis equally stimulating for the mind and the soul. It's no wonder Hollywood producers chose to turn it into a feature film--anyone can see the universal human struggle against bondage and despair in these pages.
The sleeping-sickness epidemic of 1918 caused hundreds of survivors to slip into a bizarre rigid paralysis with similarities to advanced Parkinson's disease. These patients, only occasionally able to communicate or move, were nearly all institutionalized for life, their ranks increasing every now and then with similarly afflicted men and women. Sacks came to work at a long-term care facility shortly before the first exciting results with L-dopa and Parkinson's in the late 1960s; his patients soon embarked on dramatic, difficult recoveries from up to 50 years of torpor. He documents their spiritual and medical obstacles with great care to portray their individual personalities, long suppressed but finally released. Though many great doctors are also great writers, few can compare with Oliver Sacks for expressing the relation of medicine to the human spirit. --Rob Lightner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Economics of the Real World'
In recent years a dramatic counter-revolution has taken place in economic theory and policy - a rejection of Keynesian interventionism and the re-assertion of the old orthodoxy. As in the 1930s, wage cuts and balanced budgets are seen as the way to improve competitiveness and solve unemployment. It appears we have learnt nothing from earlier experience. Arguing that economic policies have exacerbated the impact of world recession from which Britain should have been relatively immune, the author contends that the underlying issues are quality of output and consumption, the nature of work and a more equal sharing of the freedom and power that income and wealth confer.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong'
This title presents an insight into moral skepticism of the 20th century. The author argues that our every-day moral codes are an 'error theory' based on the presumption of moral facts which, he persuasively argues, don't exist. His refutation of such facts is based on their metaphysical 'queerness' and the observation of cultural relativity. [via]

To understand the meaning of prices, trade and markets in medieval times, we need to first understand the structure of society. Anglo-Saxon institutions arose to a considerable extent from Roman foundations, but the economy was also crucially influenced by the reclamation and settlement of new land, changing population patterns, developments in agricultural methods and technology. By focusing on these realities, we can gain a new depth of insight into the key economic units of the age - guilds, towns and villages, feudal manors and land holdings. [via]
