Summary: For those of you who have read Georges Ifrah's first book, "The Universal History of Numbers: From Prehistory to the Invention of the Computer", this is the third of a two-volume set! Just to clarify this, the first volume is being split into two and, together with this new third volume, republished as a trilogy. For those of you who have not read the first book, volume III begins with what could have been a very useful "Chronological Summary" and a "Recapitulation" of the ideas expressed in the first book. Unfortunately, without a preface or introduction, the unwary reader is immediately confronted with a very condensed version of the first book. Indeed, Ifrah's detailed study of number systems, when reduced to a series of illustrated plates, gives the impression that the history of numbers is little more than a history of typography. Yet another "Chronological Summary" from Calculation to Calculus follows, thereby reinforcing the feeling that the book is a collection of notes waiting to be crafted into a strong narrative. The translator, the unsung hero in many publications, has done sterling work in adding copious notes and helpful cross-references. The initial feeling remains, however, that this is a collection of jewels without a crown. Having said that, the scope of the book is enormous, tracing the history of calculators and computers, from mechanical to electronic devices through both analogue and digital incarnations. There are some familiar faces, such as Pascal, Babbage, von Neumann and Turing, as well as many others who have so far escaped the spotlight. As a reference work it has a good index and an extensive bibliography. The author acknowledges regret at the lack of illustrations but gives references to such sources. In the search for universality and completeness it has, however, forsaken a strong guiding theme. The most engaging sections are where the mathematics, history and technology come together, bound by personal ambitions, whether intellectual or financial. In such sections Ifrah pauses from being a cataloguer to indulge in some story telling. It is here that the nuts and bolts of technology come to life. For teachers, students and researchers, this will prove to be a very useful starting point into a fascinating area of human innovation. But one would venture that this is a work destined for the library shelves rather than the bedside table. --"Richard Mankiewicz"

Summary: I first learned of Illich's anti-industrialist, slightly Marxist perspective, as an A-level sociology student studying education. Ten years later, being a disillusioned health professional in the NHS, I was inexorably drawn to this book when searching for works on medical sociology. Although the book was written over twenty years ago the general theme remains relevant (perhaps even more so with increased spending on health) in the first decade of the twentieth century. The central idea of the book is 'iatrogenesis' or, the creation of ill health through medical intervention. This is either directly in the form of unnecessary surgery gone wrong or the latent undermining of the population's acceptance of responsibility for their own health and healing. Both the medical profession and the public are equally to blame in this process. While it is hard to disagree with many of the ideas proposed it is the style of the prose which is the most challenging aspect of the work. One assumes that Illich has never heard of the practise of circumlocution and many passages are extremely tortuous and convoluted, making it pretty hard going to get to the end; especially when the main ideas are to be found in the first three chapters. On the whole I would say the challenge is worth undertaking particularly if you like to explore radical perspectives on issues central to life.

Summary: This book is a delight to read, if you are curious about Physics. It is especially gratifying from the perspective that it gives a brief history of the way physics has evolved since the field began. It's a great book to use when someone you know wants a more rational explanation of relativity. ~Joe K

Summary: " Le style d'Ishiguro, remarquablement traduit par Sophie Mayoux, est celui d'un aquarelliste de l'âme, où la plus grande horreur se dissimule derrière un petit rire bête. Les femmes dans le malheur, tandis que le porte de Nagasaki se reconstruit et qu'en face une lumière pâle nimbe les collines d'Inasa, ne cessent de pouffer, on les entend. Mais à l'intérieur, ça hurle. " Dominique Durand, Le Canard Enchaîné
