3.		A Short History of Nearly Everything from Black Swan Price: £5.99 Customer Review: This book makes fascinating reading and is written in a humorous and easy-to-read style. My only complaint is that the author tends to skip over the scientific discoveries of the 18th and 19th centuries rather quickly and then spends most of his time on the 20th century and mainly American... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		The Selfish Gene from OUP Oxford Price: £6.29 Customer Review: The author writes about living things as if the gene is the animal and the animal is simply a seed for the gene. He basically turns life inside out. It's a powerful mind tool to get a different perspective on life but don't get too carried away with the idea. The whole theory of evolution is... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Can We Have Our Balls Back, Please? from Allen Lane Price: £11.69 Customer Review: I bought this book for my Dad for Christmas, but have dipped into it myself a lot already.

6.		Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know from Hodder Paperbacks Price: £5.02 Customer Review: This book surprised me. It was a Christmas present and its taken this long for me to open it, but I'm very glad I did. I must admit before I read it I thought Ranulph Feinnes was a bit of a nutter. I still do. But there's more to him than that. I think this book is about love, failure and doing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Dry Store Room No. 1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum from HarperPerennial Price: £4.49 Customer Review: This more than just a description of a museum. This is also a journey into the history of the natural sciences and a part biography as well. Well illustarted, Richard Fortey describes an institution that is trying hard (and succeeding if the new Darwin Centre is any guide)to move with the times,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Eating for England: The Delights and Eccentricities of the British at Table from HarperPerennial Price: £3.99 Customer Review: ... to write this. Or a Jeremy. Or possibly a Terence. But maybe we all have anorak-y tendencies when it comes to name-checking the fondly remembered foods of our 1950s and 60s childhoods. But sorry, Nigel - you've done this too many times before - and so have too many other people. Spangles,... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Bomber Boys: Fighting Back 1940-1945 from HarperPerennial Price: £3.99 Customer Review: It is very easy to lament the work done by Bomber Command in the mid to end years of the Second World War in Europe. This book does just that. But it also delves into the hearts of those who flew the bombers, the emotions of those who let loose the bomb doors, the feelings of those who shot at... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
