The Barefaced Doctor
A witty, often satirical, A-Z medical encyclopedia, written by doctor and broadcaster, Michael O’Donnell whose barefaced approach to medicine is often serious but never solemn, and always entertaining.From an early age – his father was a GP in a Yorkshire mining village – Michael O’Donnell was aware of the oddities, uncertainties, life-affirming surprises and black comedy that make the practice of medicine so rewarding.

Dealing with the Dragon
"Dealing with the Dragon presents a fact-filled but always entertaining account - week-by-week, often day-by-day - of Hong Kong in the last year of the millenium, focusing on the crucial political, legal, and human battles that followed Britain's departure. Predictions by some that this Far Eastern center of commerce and finance would be radically changed by its new rulers have proved largely unfounded; forecasts of tanks in the streets, violent clashes, and the disappearance of democracy were unrealistically dire. Fenby, a journalist with an eyewitness's knowledge of the teeming metropolis and the mainland, shows what actually occurred following the Chinese takeover, detailing major developments - such as Beijing's harsh policies over Taiwan and the outlawed spiritual group Falun Gong - to which foreign governments, including Washington, have preferred to shut their eyes."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Exodus from Capitalism
The purpose of this book is voter education. Every thinking person realizes that we face serious problems: increasing disparity between rich and poor, a shrinking middle class, disintegration of the family, teen pregnancy, cultural subversion, crime and drugs, lack of adequate healthcare, environmental damage, repeated engagement in foreign wars, and a national debt approaching $6 trillion. These problems did not develop overnight, and they will not be resolved overnight. To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, "Democracy requires informed voters." It is the central theme of this book that the source of these problems is the capitalist system of economy that benefits the few wealthy at the expense of the many workers.

Emphasis is given to the impact of the US as principal founder member and main post-WW2 hegemonic power, always keen to use the UN to further American strategic and economic interests.
