  An ex-SAS surgeon’s gripping memoir of trying to save lives in disaster areas and war zones around the globe.   In this fast-paced narrative, ex-SAS surgeon Richard Villar provides a very personal insight into the difficulties, dangers, and occasional virtual impossibility of providing medical aid to disaster areas and war zones.   He shares his remarkable experiences in the aftermath of three major earthquakes Kashmir (2005), Java (2006), and Haiti (2010) as well as in the 2011 Libyan civil war, in a no-holds-barred introduction to a world most will never experience. He describes what happens on the ground before a full aid program swings into action. Arriving in a stricken area with the infrastructure destroyed, his small, dedicated team can take nothing for granted; water, power, shelter, and the rule of law are likely to be nonexistent and disease and shortages of food and water ever present. They meet challenges that the rest of us can only imagine and are under intense pressure to help, comfort, and sustain overwhelming numbers of traumatized men, women, and children whose worlds have been turned upside down.  Winged Scalpel is not only a riveting read but highly instructional and informative. From his own point of view, the author’s experiences prove that you can take a man out of the SAS, but you cannot take the SAS out of the man.

  Brilliant Blunders - From Darwin...

  Drawing on the lives of five great scientists, this “scholarly, insightful, and beautifully written book” (Martin Rees, author of From Here to Infinity) illuminates the path to scientific discovery.Charles Darwin, William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), Linus Pauling, Fred Hoyle, and Albert Einstein all made groundbreaking contributions to their fields—but each also stumbled badly. Darwin’s theory of natural selection shouldn’t have worked, according to the prevailing beliefs of his time. Lord Kelvin gravely miscalculated the age of the earth. Linus Pauling, the world’s premier chemist, constructed an erroneous model for DNA in his haste to beat the competition to publication. Astrophysicist Fred Hoyle dismissed the idea of a “Big Bang” origin to the universe (ironically, the caustic name he gave to this event endured long after his erroneous objections were disproven). And Albert Einstein speculated incorrectly about the forces of the universe—and that speculation opened the door to brilliant conceptual leaps. As Mario Livio luminously explains in this “thoughtful meditation on the course of science itself” (The New York Times Book Review), these five scientists expanded our knowledge of life on earth, the evolution of the earth, and the evolution of the universe, despite and because of their errors.“Thoughtful, well-researched, and beautifully written” (The Washington Post), Brilliant Blunders is a wonderfully insightful examination of the psychology of five fascinating scientists—and the mistakes as well as the achievements that made them famous.

  Thought-provoking essays on movies from Metropolis to The Matrix.   The science fiction genre, through films such as Blade Runner, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and The Terminator, not only entertains us but makes us think—about the implications of new technologies, the parameters and possibilities of space and time, and, in the age of artificial intelligence and robotics, the meaning of humanity itself.  The Philosophy of Science Fiction Film explores the storylines, conflicts, and themes of fifteen science fiction film classics. Editor Steven M. Sanders and a group of outstanding scholars in philosophy, film studies, and other fields raise science fiction film criticism to a new level by penetrating the surfaces of the films to expose the underlying philosophical arguments, ethical perspectives, and metaphysical views.
