|title=The Cancer Chronicles: Unlocking Medicine's Deepest Mystery
|author=George Johnson
|rating=4
|genre=Popular Science
|summary=George Johnson, a popular science writer more comfortable in the fields of physics and cosmology, started his journey into cancer when his wife, Nancy, was diagnosed with a rare uterine variety. He took it as an opportunity not just for personal soul-searching (why her? why now?), but also for a wide-ranging odyssey into current research about what causes cancer and how long it has been with us.

|author=Ian Stewart
|title=The Great Mathematical Problems
|rating=3.5
|genre=Popular Science
|summary=I joked with a friend when I first got the book that ''The Great Problems'' may be a step too far for me, and perhaps I should wait for Stewart to release a book called ''The Fairly Good Mathematical Problems'' as it would be closer to my level. While I originally said it in jest, by chapter four or so I was starting to think I'd been closer to the truth than I'd realised - Stewart seems, somewhat surprisingly given his past success with books like the brilliant [[Professor Stewart's Hoard of Mathematical Treasures by Ian Stewart|Professor Stewart's Hoard of Mathematical Treasures]], to have pitched this book about the 'really big questions in mathematics' at an extremely high level. With just a degree in mathematics and nearly ten years worth of experience teaching the subject, I found it something of a slog to get through, with many concepts being difficult to grasp, in particular the Mordell conjecture.
