Although we may live longer than before as a nation, we are getting steadily sicker despite advances in modern medicine, and misjudged 'breathroughs' are likely to bring about a situation in thirty years where a small, healthy, working population is forced to support a large, diseased, geriatric one. Private medicines, the NG+HS, drug companies, GPs, local authorities, hospitals, alternative practitioners, and cirtually everybody concerned with the nation's health comes under critical scrutinity in this controvserial book, for the author argues that everywhere there is wastage, incompetence, ignorance and, all too frequently, the direst of consequences - a decline in patients' health. This book wil astonish, depress, confound and upset many of its readers but, however disagreeable the diagnosis maybe, it had better be taken seriously - for the sake of the nation's health. 245 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.)

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Phiz (illustrator). First Thus. Paperback. Crease to front cover. With an Introduction by Peter Ackroyd. 'To what extent, and for what purpose did Dickens base his characters upon 'real' people. There is the obvious case of Squeers and Dotheboys Hall, since the description of both provoked many threats of libel writs from various real Yorkshire schoolamsters.'There seems indisputable evidence, then, that the lurid description in Nicholas Nickleby did in fact have a permanent effect upon the real word; single-handedly Dickens had been able, by exaggeration and grotesquerie, to extirpate a national abuse'. From Dickens by Peter Ackroyd. 926 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Methuen-Mandarin Edition. Paperback. Charoltte Bronte. Slight foxing to top edge. From the landscape of the Yorkshire moors, a peppery old father and his parsonage, an appalling childhood, a family decimated by consumption and the vast imaginative worlds of the Bronte children, Jane Eyre came as an instant literary sensation. It also brought Charlotte Bronte the notoriety that was to remain with he for the rest of her short and tragic life. Elizabeth Gasklee, Charlotte's first biographer, attempted to clear her friend of the charges of passionate immorality that were levelled at a woman author - and an unmarried one at that. Rebecca Fraser, 130 years later, places Charlotte's life within the perceptual framework of contemporary attitudes to women. Her biography is an invaluable contribution to Bronte scholarship, which shares her admiration for a woman prepared to stand out against some of the cruellest Victorian ideas about her sex.
