5.0 out of 5 stars Hypochondriac's Bible, 17 Dec 2009
This review is from: BMA A-Z Family Medical Encyclopedia: The Essential Reference to Over 7,000 Medical Terms Including Symptoms, Diseases, Drugs, and Treatments (Hardcover)
I surmised, after using "Your Family A Medical Advisor", published by Family Circle and bought in Australia 25 years ago, that medicine had advanced as much as technology. That being the case, I researched a replacement and selected the BMA's "A-Z Family Medical Encyclopedia". What a gem! What an education! Written in very user-friendly format, my hypochondriac Mrs and I investigated every ailment and complaint she suspected she might have contracted over her lifetime and it was brilliant. Then, within a couple of weeks, I was admitted to hospital in the middle of the night and diagnosed with gall stones and a shedload of associated problems! Ten days later, having been discharged, I reviewed my diagnosis in our recent purchase and was amazed at how it described, in layman's terms, everything anyone could possibly want to know about the gall bladder, gall stones and every aspect of any necessary operation. Brilliant! Simply brilliant and every family should have copy.

    Will Dean's Ideas Factory: Billr app means an end to asking 'Why am I paying for your steak?'

    Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel

    In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

    Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada

    His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

    The curious world of Norton Juster

    Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

    How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust

    Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

    Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman...

    Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
