Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The intensive-care unit (ICU) in any hospital is shrouded in mystery and driven by daily dramas, a world off-limits to most staff - and certainly to the public. It has an atmosphere in which the emotions evoked by death contrast with the joy experienced when a patient recovers. Deciding when not to treat a patient is one which ICU consultants make every day, in an environment where they know a third of the patients will die. Decisions they are forced to make often bring them into conflict with patients' relatives, and even their own colleagues. Through specific case histories and anecdotes, this book explores the constant practical, ethical and moral dilemmas faced by ICU staff. Tied to a six-part BBC1 television series, it shows how an ICU functions, and how decisions between life and death are made. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Variously described as 'the cleverest and wittiest work of the year, or bastard century even' (Melody Maker) or 'the funniest wisest book ever written' (The Times), The Onion team's first book, Our Dumb Century, was widely and hugely praised. Their second tome delivers more hilarious satire in the same vein as: 'Muhammed Ali KO's Ronald Reagan In Nursing Home Scuffle', 'Drugs Win Drugs War', or 'Martin Luther King: I Had A Really Weird Dream Last Night'. The strength of The Onion lies in the fact that the text underneath the brilliant headlines is just as funny. As Nicholas Lezard said of Our Dumb Century: 'I cannot imagine a funnier book being written - well, ever' (Guardian). The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

WINNER OF THE HAWTHORNDEN PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE SUNDAY TIMES YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR One winter, after an enforced period of quiet, William Fiennes finds himself restless and yearning for adventure. Inspired by his reading about the migratory patterns of birds, he flies to Texas to find the million-strong flocks of snow geese and to follow them on their spring flight thousands of miles north to breeding grounds on the Arctic tundra. This mesmerizing book, already a classic, captures their journey with wisdom, humility and endless curiosity. It is a meditation on freedom of movement, on seeing the world anew, and on the joy of returning -- indefinably changed. 'Why are we drawn to birds, to landscape, to nature? It is for the sense of wonder -- and in capturing that sense of wonder, Fiennes reminds us how desperately we all need it' Sunday Telegraph 'The Snow Geese moved me as have few other recent books. No one who reads it is likely to continue to look at the world in the same way' Times Literary Supplement 'A beautifully solitary and beautifully reflective book' Evening Standard 'The descriptions of the geese and their environment are jaw-droppingly beautiful. But Fiennes' most remarkable talent is for describing the quotidian with such freshness that it is like seeing the world for the first time' Mail on Sunday 'An inspired work of natural history and travel.
