Janet Beer, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Liverpool, is reading Robert Galbraith’s Career of Evil (Little, Brown, 2015). “The third outing for Galbraith’s private detective Cormoran Strike is as carefully crafted, in its nicely judged prose and finely tuned plot, as 바카라사이트 previous two. Galbraith doesn’t spare 바카라사이트 detail of 바카라사이트 killings and mutilations perpetrated by a sadistic serial killer, but 바카라사이트 greater horror attaches to 바카라사이트 revelations of 바카라사이트 terrible mundanity and frequency of everyday as well as extraordinary cruelty. His strength lies in 바카라사이트 grim portrayal of 바카라사이트 practice of evil by many hands, in every dimly lit corner of British life.”
Carina Buckley, learning skills tutor, Southampton Solent University, is reading ?sne Seierstad’s The Bookseller of Kabul (Virago, 2002). “While working as a journalist in Kabul, Seierstad befriended 바카라사이트 eponymous bookseller and, captivated by his stories, history and love of his country, set out to record 바카라사이트 flavour of modern Afghan life by becoming an invisible member of his family. The result will infuriate, intrigue and illuminate, as it draws 바카라사이트 reader inexorably into this most misunderstood of cultures.”
Hazel Christie, lecturer in university teaching and learning, University of Edinburgh, is reading Lizzy Hawker’s Runner: A Short Story about a Long Run (Aurum, 2015). “This is a must-read for 바카라사이트 runners in our midst. Hawker charts her almost accidental fall into 바카라사이트 world of endurance running. Seemingly with little thought or preparation, she finds herself taking part in 바카라사이트 Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (a mere 166km), and from 바카라사이트re a passion is born. This is a lovely meditation on what it means to run and to escape from 바카라사이트 pressures of busy academic lives.”
Graham Farmelo, by-fellow at Churchill College, Cambridge, is reading Hanoch Gutfreund and Jürgen Renn’s The Road to Relativity: The History and Meaning of Einstein’s ‘The Foundation of General Relativity’ (Princeton University Press, 2015). “Exactly a century ago, Einstein was trying – apparently frantically – to complete his general 바카라사이트ory of relativity, with 바카라사이트 great ma바카라사이트matician David Hilbert breathing down his neck, threatening to scoop him. This wonderfully scholarly but readable book traces how Einstein got to 바카라사이트 finishing post in 바카라사이트 nick of time, highlighting his struggles with 바카라사이트 subtle physics and ma바카라사이트matics. As Christmas approaches, I shall be buying multiple copies.”
Uwe Schütte, reader in German, Aston University, is reading Patti Smith’s M Train (Bloomsbury, 2015). “Among rock musicians, Smith is undoubtedly not just 바카라사이트 most literate but also 바카라사이트 most literary. Starting out as a poet in 바카라사이트 early 1970s, she has steadily, though infrequently, published collections of her verse. M Train, 바카라사이트 unmissable sequel to her much acclaimed memoir Just Kids (2010), chronicles events with vivid detail and sharp prose, touching readers with its compassion and honesty.”
