Barbour Publishing, Incorporated, 2003

A Good Read!
I loved this book. I read it twice in less than 2 weeks. If I'd had time, I'd have read it twice in 2 days. The stories were heart warming. I can't decide which is the best.

The Alarming History of Medicine: Amusing Anecdotes from Hippocrates to Heart Transplants

9 reviews
Richard Gordon

St. Martin's Griffin, 1997

Riveting yet discombobulated (literally) text
Thumbs up to Gordon for taking the reader of a mesmeric stroll through the oft-unusual characters and events that shaped the history of modern medicine as we know it. My sentiment wasn't initially thus. Half way through the first chapter I slapped the price sticker back on the rear cover, prepared to return it to the bookstore. Luckily (for me), I'm always up for a challenge, and something deep ...

The Curve of Binding Energy: A Journey into the Awesome and Alarming World of Theodore B. Taylor

16 reviews
John McPhee

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1994

Great Info on Nukes
The Curve of Binding Energy by John McPhee is just a terrific read for anyone interested in the twin topics of nuclear energy and the nuclear bomb. We've all read stories about the negative environmental effects of storing used nuclear fuel, but you rarely are made aware of the other negative externality of used nuclear fuel; the threat to national security. In this quickly-read, reportorial ...

George Michael

University Press of Kansas, 2006

ignorance as enemy
I ,by chance encountered this book in a B&N bookstore in Ohio(!)(?).If I was an extremist I would force the american congress members to read the book and wake up.Very much needed info about the screaming ignorance of american foreign politics.the american public needs to inform itself in order to deserve the (very fickle)idea of "Democracy".I highly recommend this very balanced collection of ...

12 reviews
George Carlo, Martin Schram

Basic Books, 2002

Can you hear me now?
Cell phones have become an integral part of American (and increasingly the world) society. They are ubiquitous in the business world and day-to-day life activities. The authors discuss in detail the risks associated with cell phones, particularly those of the digital variety. They tell the all to common tale of industry PR "spin" vs. public safety and common sense. While it may not be correct ...

The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Mutant Germs Threatens Us All

4 reviews
Elinor Levy, Mark Fischetti

Crown, 2003

Lions, tigers and PRIONS, beware!
This is not the sort of information that one should talk about at the next wedding reception; especially if there stands a food buffet complete with salad bar --- salad bars are the 'Typhoid Mary's' of our modern, super-infectious times. Authors Elinor Levy and Mark Fischetti talk intelligently about 'super-spreaders."...No - not merely persons possessing big booties, but instead, people infected ...

Saint Morrissey: A Portrait of This Charming Man by an Alarming Fan

6 reviews
Mark Simpson

Touchstone, 2006

A Morrissey book that made me want to be sociable!
Simpson takes as his source material only that which Morrissey has written in his lyrics or spoken in interview, and thus claims no special privilege to know him, any more than any other fan knows him - (i.e. intimately). As such, it may or may not bear any relationship to the truth as Morrissey himself sees it, for Simpson acknowledges the self-defeating nature of trying to interpret those ...

Outrageous Practices: The Alarming Truth About how medicine mistreats Women

7 reviews
Leslie Laurence, Beth Weinhouse

Rutgers University Press, 1997

Excellent Overview
I'm somewhat mystified at the negative comments by the other reviewers. I read this book in 1994 when it first came out, and it really opened my eyes to the inequities of the medical system and showed me the truth of my own experiences - I've encountered several male doctors who tend to dismiss my own observations of my body or my health as irrelevant or suspect, simply because I'm female. I even ...

Hells Angels at War: The Alarming Story Behind the Headlines

12 reviews
Yves Lavigne

HarperCollins Publishers, 2000

Highly Informative But Sometimes Tedious
A very thorough investigation into the bikers, the police, and the public. This book is something of a big deal up here in Canada because the upper rungs of the RCMP were embarassed by it revealing their sometimes reprehensible strategies. The RCMP brass reacted by coming down hard on the officer who leaked the information to LaVigne. Really a sad story because the officer is highly decorated and ...

The Alarming Beauty of the Sky

1 review
Leslie Monsour

Red Hen Press, 2005

Alarmingly Good
I'm tickled to at last have a full-length book by Leslie Monsour, who is one of the wittiest and most strikingly original poets around. She ranges widely in her subjects--from love affairs to dying parents, from pelicans to parking lots--and manages to find surprises in each. Her technical mastery is of the highest order. And as if all that weren't enough, she can on occasion be very, very ...

Why Jesus Makes Me Nervous: Ten Alarming Words of Faith

1 review
Joy Jordan-Lake

Paraclete Press (MA), 2007

Real Faith for Real People
Joy Jordon-Lake offers a funny, poignant, down-to-earth look at what it means to follow Jesus in the 21st Century. In doing so, she avoids the superficial platitudes and cliches found in so many contemporary Christian books. She writes in a fresh, original style, often illustrating with stories from her own life. I have shared this book with friends who were going through divorce, ovarian cancer ...

Richard Gordon

St Martins Pr, 1997

This is a companion book to "The Alarming History of Medicine" by the physician, writer and humorist Richard Gordon, who also authored the "Doctor in the House" series. It contains medical commentaries on 31 more or less famous people, picked (more likely than not) for the availability of their disease records than for other communalities they may have had. Medical gossip can be a lot of fun, and ...

The AIDS Cover-up? the Real And Alarming Facts About AIDS

4 reviews
Gene Antonio

Ignatius Press, 1986

Medical Facts Stand Alone
Exellent book citing medical references and data that have no political agenda. In a subject matter of spin, misinformation, progaganda, and out right lies, this book stands alone. Much of it is dry due to the referential material, but points are well taken in light of what should have been public health matters. This book is a bane for those whose political viewpoint is now considered mainstream ...
