2.An Introduction to Genetic Analysis by: Anthony J.F. Griffiths, William M. Gelbart, Richard C. Lewontin, Susan R. Wessler, David T. Suzuki, Jeffrey H. Miller June 21, 2004

I am a student from another major (environmental engineering), so I had no any knowledge in genetics previously. After reading 4 chapters and finishing related exercise, I find I gradually gain a sense of genetics. This book is very comprehensive and focusing on main themes at the same time. For important topics, the authors will mention them again and again. I can say, if you read carefully, you can not miss them. At last, I would say the problems at the end of each chapter are really good, which is very helpful for grasping related knowledge. I would recommend this perfect canon to beginners like me.

Perhaps nobody but the late great Roy Porter (our greatest medical historian as the British Medical Journal's obituary put it) could have attempted to summarise the history of madness in 241 pages. Certainly nobody could have made such a good, if ultimately somewhat flawed, attempt. Starting with what is good - Roy Porter gives us an excellent overview and summary of the whole history of madness moving from earliest times through to the Prozac present. His writing is crisp and extremely readable throughout and he is generally fair and unbiased. He wisely sidesteps a definition of madness and gets on with telling the story. Porter discusses wider social and cultural issues alongside the personalities and principles, tackling Michel ... Read More:

7.The Knife Man: Blood, Body-snatching and the Birth of Modern Surgery by: Wendy Moore April 03, 2006

This is an excellent biography of John Hunter, one of the most famous surgeons to ever have lived. The author is an expert writer and whilst it can be a cliché to speak of history reading like fiction that certainly is the case in this book. We map the progress of his life and the discoveries he makes within the field of medicine and science. Most of the science is wonderfully explained so that even most lay reader will be able to appreciate the discoveries. The sinister side is not left out either, whilst Hunter may have been a medical genius it is certain that he engaged in less praiseworthy activities such as robbing bodies from graves. Hunter's personal details are given here also, we see his upbringing, his marriage and his feuds with his brother. ... Read More:
