2.		Outliers: The Story of Success from Allen Lane Price: £8.49 Customer Review: What a fascinating book! Extremely readable and very persuasive explanations for why some people succeed in life and others don't. Only one minor criticism - he implies that the Colombian first officer was almost entirely to blame for the Avianca plane crash in 1990 but in fact New York ATC were... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Very Hungry Caterpillar [Board Book] from Puffin Price: £2.99 Customer Review: If you love reading to your child, do not miss this book. It is a delightful, humourous,dream-like surreal book, with a repetitive, poetic, chanting story. It is (deservedly) a children's classic. Many reviewers here have tried to break down the different elements of this book. What I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Bad Science from Fourth Estate Ltd Price: £6.49 Customer Review: I bought this book because I thought it would be a good idea to have an antidote to all the scare stories we read in the media.

6.		The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable from Penguin Price: £5.29 Customer Review: As a statistician, the book and its premise struck me as an interesting read, but it is clear after a few chapters that the book itself is meandering nowhere. What is worse is that the evidence is always second hand philosophy and the book is peppered with uninteresting self promotion. If your... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		IEE On-site Guide; BS 7671 : 2008 IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition from The Institution of Engineering and Technology Price: £16.15 Customer Review: Not quite the gripping read that the reviews had me believing it would be. I was expecting some tantalising narrative, imaginative characterisation and a poignant denouement - instead I got a load of electrical charts. Is this postmodernism gone mad?

Professor Stewart's Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities from Profile Books Ltd Price: £6.59 Customer Review: this book admittedly is not laid out in an obviously systematic way but i m not sure that matters. it got me interested in some things that i thought were rather boring, and on the whole though i haven t read it all through yet it does seem to the makings of a very good read, though inevitably some... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
