Can You Hear Me? - Jake Jones - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A RICHARD AND JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK ''With poignancy, humour and compassion, Jones invites us into "the invigorating chaos of pre-hospital care" . . . a panorama of experiences: the mundane, the ridiculous, the heartbreaking and the tragic'' - The Guardian ''This beautifully written book, punctuated with wry humour, is a sobering portrayal of the ailing, the distressed and the lonely... Yet it''s also an uplifting read which will make you thankful that should your hour of need arrive, so will someone like Jones'' - Daily Express A memoir of the chaos, intensity and occasional beauty of life as a paramedic. A young man has stopped breathing in a supermarket toilet. A pedestrian with a nasty head injury won''t let the crew near him on a busy road. A newborn baby is worryingly silent. An addict urinates on the ambulance floor when denied a fix. This is the life of an ambulance paramedic.Jake Jones has worked in the UK ambulance service for ten years: every day, he sees a dozen of the scenes we hope to see only once in a lifetime. Can You Hear Me? - the first thing he says when he arrives on the scene - is a memoir of the chaos, intensity and occasional beauty of life on the front-lines of medicine in the UK.As well as a look into dozens of extraordinary scenes - the hoarder who won''t move his collection to let his ailing father leave the house, the blood-soaked man who tries to escape from the ambulance, the life saved by a lucky crew who had been called to see someone else entirely - Can You Hear Me? is an honest examination of the strains and challenges of one of the most demanding and important jobs anyone can do.

Can Fish Count? - Brian Butterworth - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Homo Sapiens may think maths is our exclusive domain, but this book shows that every creature shares a deep-seated Darwinian ability to understand the intrinsic language of our universe: mathematics CAN FISH COUNT? is that special sort of science book - a global authority in his field writing an anecdotally-rich and revelatory narrative which changes the way you perceive something we take for granted.

"Why do you think it''s over?" Shesheshen has made a fatal mistake for a monster: she''s fallen in love.Shesheshen is a shapeshifter - one who is perfectly content to stay as an amorphous lump in her swamp unless impolite monster hunters invade intent on murdering her. Then, she meets warm-hearted Homily, who mistakes Shesheshen for a human like her.But just as Shesheshen is about to confess her true identity, Homily reveals she''s hunting the shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Shesheshen didn''t curse anyone, but to give them both a chance at happiness, she must figure out why Homily''s family thinks she did - while surviving her toxic in-laws long enough to build a life with the woman she loves.
