PANDEMIC
The 2nd edition of PANDEMIC (Clinical Press 2021) updates the history of plagues and provides extra chapters concentrating on the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic, treatment, vaccination and the effect of lockdowns. As one furloughed doctor said the first edition sorted out my mind. We are very lucky to be living in the 21st century and comparison with the many plagues of the past puts the Covid-19 pandemic in its place. The second edition continues this cathartic exercise and puts into some order the origin, the prevention and the treatment of the condition. Historical records show that people who work with viruses are often prone to accidental escapes from their laboratories like the one giving origin to COVID-19. The lessons of history are heavily in favour of the lab-leak theory compared with the now-discredited theory of zoonotic origin. Interspersed with the serious history are true personal anecdotes and a few ridiculous cartoons. The author points out: Laughing at the things we fear is one of the best ways of putting those fears into perspective.

National Elf Service
Paul R Goddard, a retired consultant radiologist, has taken a Swift-like move and penned a slim satirical cartoon book. A former President of various medical societies including the Radiology Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, the Bristol Medico Chirurgical Society and the MRRA (UK), Professor Goddard is no stranger to controversy. His witty cartoons will cause much merriment amongst the workers in the National Elf Service, apart, perhaps, from some of the less discerning management and political acolytes (the more discerning will undoubtedly also enjoy the book!). There is an Elf Service in Cloud Cuckoo Land, a place that is sometimes known as Faerie and Elfdom. It is strange how the...
An Approximately True Analysis of Fake News
Is lying a sin? Is Theresa May a robot or a shape changing lizard? Is there such a thing as an inalienable human right? What will happen if Jacob Rees-Mogg does embrace his freedom and stand on his own two feet? These questions and many more are addressed in Paul R Goddards latest book, Fake News, or to give the book its full title An Approximately True Analysis of Fake News. The book is a short paperback packed full of scurrilous ideas and cartoons. It is subtitled The Book of Lying and Propaganda due to the fact that fake news has been with the human race ever since its inception. This book explains why we lie, suggests ways to spot lies and describes the history of propaganda and spin. It...
