Paperback
Author: Bill Streever
From avalanches to glaciers and seals to snowflakes, from igloos to icebergs, permafrost to hoarfrost, chilblains to frostbite, Bill Streever unearths the consistent, ongoing influence of cold on the planet. Evoking history, myth, geography and ecology, Streever's quest for icy, forty-below cold gains purchase in July, while he's taking a dip in an Arctic swimming hole; in September, while excavating our planet's ice ages; and in October, while exploring animals' hibernation habits, from humans to wood frogs to bears. In March he even does his best to escape it, bundling up in layers of polyester, spandex and Primaloft fill to face thermometers reading twenty-three below. Streever visits an underground Cold War-era tunnel, where preserved remains mingle with new-fangled machinery and gear; weighs in on the scientific quest to reach absolute zero (-459 F); and describes how refrigeration evolved from worldwide ice shipping to the ... more

Everyday Drinking : The distilled Kingsley Amis order quantity

Kingsley Amis was one of the great masters of comic prose, and no subject was dearer to him than the art and practice of imbibing.

In one handsome package, the book covers a full shelf of the master's riotous and erudite thoughts on the drinking arts. Along with a series of well-tested recipes (including a cocktail called the Lucky Jim) are Amis's musings on The Hangover, The Boozing Man's Diet, The Mean Sod's Guide, and (presumably as a matter of speculation) How Not to Get Drunk - all leavened with fun quizzes on the making and drinking of alcohol all over the world. Mixing practical know-how and hilarious opinionation, this is a delightful cocktail of wry humour and distilled knowledge, served by one of our great gimlet wits.

Author: ed Jo Manning et al

Much followed from the Inquiry and its report. Critical issues were at stake - matters of life and death; the life's work of leaders within the medical profession; professional reputations; and public trust in the profession. Twenty years on, participants in the Inquiry and other commentators write thoughtful essays. Contributors include: Sandra Coney, Charlotte Paul, Clare Matheson, Alistair Campbell, Ron Paterson and Jan Crosthwaite.
