books by Atul Gawande     books:       The Best American Science Writing 2006 (Best American Science Writing)13 reviews Atul Gawande 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?

In it, Gawande showed a deep respect and sympathy for patients while trying to be clear about what would help the medical establishment do a better job from a doctor's point of view.
