|title=Where Do Camels Belong?: The story and science of invasive species
|author=Ken Thompson
|rating=4
|genre=Popular Science
|summary=''Much of what passes for invasion biology is poorly supported hype.'' So says our author, and you can easily fall into agreeing with him after reading his book. In much the same way the ''Daily Mail'' et al have their own attitudes to immigrants of the human kind, so it would appear do many people have similar notions about immigrant species. And the end results might be much more damaging.

|author=Alexandra Witze and Jeff Kanipe
|summary=Twenge and Campbell have been studying the rise in narcissism as a social trend. They are well-qualified to comment, having worked since 1998 with social psychologist Roy Baumeister, who pioneered research in this field. At more than three hundred pages it's rather weighty for the popular market at which it's aimed, but even if you only dip into this book, I think you'll take home their message.

|title=If Houses Why Not Mouses?
|rating=3.5
|genre=Popular Science
|summary=I once dedicated an entire linguistics essay to the plural of sheep, in particular my older sister’s youthful fascination with it all. ''One sheep, two sheep. No two sheeps. That silly'' etc etc. So when this book arrived I thought it perfectly plausible that the author had written an extended investigation into house/houses, mouse/mice. (No two mouses? That silly.) What I discovered on making my way through the pages, however, is that there is a lot more to this book that irregular plurals of the 3-year-old-befuddling kind.
