Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Drama and humanity laced with humour both subtle and lurid Samer Nashef, author of The Naked Surgeon The Greek physician Hippocrates thought the human body contained blood, phlegm and bile. In the right balance, these fluids produced health; if not, pain. Liam Hughes is very familiar with bodily fluids. He spent nearly five decades on the NHS frontline, ultimately as a senior cardiologist. Extending the Hippocratic list to include sweat, tears, urine, solid waste and spunk (fortitude), he uses this framework to tell his own story of the highs and lows of hospital life. The terminal patient begging for a Brompton cocktail to end his suffering; the loathsome on-call surgeon who impales himself on a shooting-stick; the selfless consultant who rams a police car to save a patients life: all shape Hughes strong sense of what the medical calling should and should not entail. By turns moving, instructive, hilarious and outrageous,Bodily Fluids also expresses its authors anxiety about the state of our health service and offers a bold prescription for the way forward.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Last of the Nomads is the story of Warri and Yatungka, the last of the Mandildjara people to remain in their country the Western Gibson Desert region of Western Australia. After many years of drought the worst this century the Mandildjara held grave fears for the safety of Warri and Yatungka. Their chances of survival under such adverse conditions and without the support of younger tribesmen and women were extremely remote. So, at the request of the Aboriginal elders and with the guidance of Mudjon, an old friend of Warris, Dr Peasley and his companions set out in search of the elderly couple. Thus began an extraordinary journey, a journey into the past to locate a man and woman pursuing a nomadic existence, as their people had done since the dawn of human occupation of Australia.

A brief history of Wiluna, the famous Canning Stock Route and early European exploration, and an appreciation of AboriginalEuropean relations help make this an important and absorbing book.
