Adam k this is going to hurt6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() As a teacher in NZ facing similar industrial disputes I found I identified with much of what he was saying in this section. ![]() ![]() However, it ends with quite a serious explanation of his departure and a very clear expression of his feelings about the NHS vs Junior Doctors disputes of 2015/2016. In fact the book was born out of a comedy act which sought to redress what Adam felt was an unfair portrayal of junior doctors by politicians. Most of the book takes a light hearted look, and somewhat sarcastic jab, at the NHS. Particularly unpleasant patients or superiors shared names with death eaters, annoying ministry officials took the names of annoying ministry of magic employees, an early tutor was "Professor Flitwick" and Adam's best friend was Ron Weasley. I enjoyed the fact that he used Harry Potter pseudonyms for anonymity and linked them somewhat to the characters. I put "junior" doctor in quotation marks because he rises up the ranks with around 6 years clinical experience but "junior" apparently refers to anyone below consultant. Having said that, he brings a window into the world of a "junior" doctor and the impact that has on their lives, relationships and mental health, in a fresh and amusing way. The author is a former Obstetrics and Gynaecology doctor so his anecdotes generally relate to the private regions of both genders, birthing, fertility and related activities. Not for the prudish but well written/readĭISCLAIMER: If you are at all squeemish about language or such. ![]() ![]() Lyndon Baines Johnson was a magnificent, despicable, ingenious, unscrupulous, complicated bastard. ![]() ![]() Means of Ascent, Book Two of The Years of Lyndon Johnson, was a number-one national best seller and, like The Path to Power, received the National Book Critics Circle Award. In this book, we are brought as close as we have ever been to a true perception of political genius and the American political process. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. ![]() How to write about africa book6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() His wildly popular essay "How to Write About Africa," an incisive and unapologetic piece that exposed the harmfully racist ways Western media depicts Africa, with implicit bias and subjective clich�s, changed the game for African writers and helped set the stage for a new generation of authors, from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to Yaa Gyasi.
