Harper Perennial, 2006

Phenominal compilation
I was a bit skeptical getting a readers-digest type of a book. However, this turned out to be a very impressive material. A compilation of best articles in science written in 2006, what could be better for a person who likes a good non-fiction read? I think the editor did a fabulous job selecting a wide range of subjects. I highly recommend this book and I myself am buying this series ...

Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science
Atul Gawande

Profile Books Ltd, 2003

This is an account of the life of a surgeon: what it is like to cut into people's bodies and the terrifying - literally life and death - decisions that have to be made. There are accounts of operations that go wrong; of doctors who go to the bad; why autopsies are necessary; what it feels like to insert your knife into someone.

A humble and thought-provoking account of performance
Gawande has a skill at communicating his quest to become a better surgeon, in a way that is inspiring to those of us in non-surgical pursuits. The stories are as interesting as a good fiction, and the message is as relevant as a properly applied fable. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Excellent - compelling and a great read for anyone
I enjoy reading about science/medical issues but have more of a liberal arts background than anything else and found this book nearly impossible to put down. A little bit into reading it, I jumped into the pool to track down my husband to let him know that if ever we or anyone we knew needed hernia surgery, there was a specific place in Canada we needed to go to. I was equally delighted to report ...

"Super"
I highly recommend, Better: a Surgeon's Notes on Performance! I really enjoyed reading this book very intriguing and informative. I' am aware some of the information the Author talked about. Two Chapters caught my attention Casualties of War and The Doctors of the Death Chamber. I wanted to write about the two subjects. I have strong opinions, on the two: Extremely controversial ...

Terrific collection
In general, the BEST collections are the best of the best. First, the essays or books have been chosen for publication and then a few are picked for the collection. These are well written and interesting, covering several areas of science. I especially liked Stephen S. Hall's "Journey to the Center of My Mind" where he describes his experience of an M.R.I. of his brain while being assigned ...
