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? 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 ...

The Best American Science Writing 2000 (Four Audiocassettes)7 reviews
James Gleick

HarperAudio, 2000

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science156 reviews
Atul Gawande

Picador, 2003

Why your Doc says, "I don't know."
It's not that doctors skip most of their classes or that they're getting a second-rate education. It's that we walk in as enigmas--we don't fit the textbook case. Just extracting this idea from "Complications" is worth your time and money. Instead of becoming frustrated and/or scared from an "I don't know" response, we can attempt to appreciate the complexity of our bodies and the influential ...

Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance82 reviews
Atul Gawande

Picador, 2008

Another Great Look Inside the Medical Profession
I thought Atul Gawande's last book, Complications, was one of the best books written on the medical profession in a long while. 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. In this book, he covers some of the same ground but, as his title implies, here he is ...

Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance
Atul Gawande

Metropolitan Books, 2007

The New York Times bestselling author of Complications examines, in riveting accounts of medical failure and triumph, how success is achieved in a complex and risk-filled profession  The struggle to perform well is universal: each one of us faces fatigue, limited resources, and imperfect abilities in whatever we do. But nowhere is this drive to do better more important than in medicine, where lives are on the line with every decision. In ...
