|title=Against Their Will: The Secret History of Medical Experimentation on Children in Cold War America

|author=Allen M Hornblum, Judith L Newman and Gregory J Dober

|rating=5

|genre=Politics and Society

|summary=If I told you that doctors had been using human beings in the most horrible of medical experiments, that they had done things like tie toddlers to beds to insert live pathogens into their eyes, injected children with radiation, sterilised those thought to be subhuman and even castrated a child just to get a supply of tissue for a lab experiment, you might very reasonably assume I am talking abut Nazi Germany. I am not.

~~|title=Another Way to Fall~~

~~|author=Amanda Brooke~~

~~|rating=5~~

~~|genre=General Fiction~~

|summary=On a crisp November day, Emma steps out of the doctor’s office, beaming from ear to ear. Finally, she has received the news she has been waiting so long to hear; her cancer is in complete remission. She can now put the last five years behind her and start get on with the rest of her life. At least that is how things would work in a perfect world. Sadly, the truth is a little different. The 'all clear' diagnosis is the first chapter of a book that Emma is writing, a book that is a coping mechanism to help her come to terms with the fact that her cancer is incurable and her options are very limited indeed.
