                        It is a curious thing that such a fervid champion of religion should always attack unbelievers with private circulars. Yet this is the policy that Henry Varley has always pursued. He is a religious bravo, who lurks in the dark, and strikes at Freethinkers with a poisoned dagger. More than once he has flooded Northampton with the foulest libels on Mr. Bradlaugh, invariably issued without the printer's name, in open violation of the law. He is liable for a fine of five pounds for every copy circulated, but the action must be initiated by the Attorney-General, and our Christian Government refuses to punish when the offence is committed by one of their own creed, and the sufferer is only an Atheist.

                          5 out of 5 stars An easy fun introduction to your telescope and the moon.......1998-01-30

                          A well written 'how to' for novice astronomers. The book describes pieces of the telescope to seas of the moon in a organized fashion. Chapters are broken out as views of the moon and each attraction is mapped with directions. Historical anecdotes accompany each chapter and give good perspective to what we are viewing. The author respects the reader- there are no excessive words and he assumes intelligence. It makes you want to know more about the moon!

                            Book Description

                            This selection of essays allows the reader to learn more about Darwin the family man, as well as the context of Darwin's achievements in several developing research fields of the Victorian Age. Darwin knew and cultivated the friendship of such scientists as Sir Joseph Hooker, Alfred Russel Wallace, Richard Owen, Adam Sedgwick, and Thomas Henry Huxley. He conducted an enormous correspondence with all who could aid him in his work. Their name is legion; it is sampled here, and constitutes one of the marvels of Darwin's century.

                            4 out of 5 stars Knowing Charles Darwin.......2000-09-09

                            A man of such renown has been written up in many volumes. His letters and his self-knowledge have won readers for more than a century now. A few of his intimate recollections are presented here in one small volume, most helpfully. But to Darwin's own candor and depth of memory the editor--a scholar and a person plainly admiring this great and modest man--has linked the living witness of a dozen people of many kinds who visited, questioned, even quarreled with the biologist.

                            As in a well-made play, the qualities of Darwin's character unfold from the tales. Here is the child with a conscience, who admitted to made-up wonders--and soon regrets the deception. Here is Alfred Wallace, the specimen collector from Indonesia, who wrote a brief paper to Darwin himself to seek aid in publishing the essay that described in brief the very theory Darwin had spent twenty years documenting to convince the wide world. Alfred Walllace sent it to that very man just as Darwin's big treatise was newly ready. What is wonderful is how Darwin and Wallace understood that stroke of fate, and remained lifelong friends in the face of the celebrity Darwin won and deserved, as Wallace's insight was given what was due him.

                            Here are Darwin's friends--Huxleys, Hooker, his cousin Galton, his devoted sons--recalling family life. Here too is the feminist author Harriet Martineau, guest at the Darwin's a few times, and her estimate of this man. The power of this pageant of commentary is all but unique among biographies, even though nothing really new is here.

                            Most touching--and most winning--of all is the little-read narrative by father Charles himself of the life of his oldest daughter Ann, who died at ten years age of a delayed effect of scarlet fever. With no sentimentality, but with discernment and love, he writes: "She had a truly feminine interest in dress...such undisguised satisfaction escaping somehow all tinge of conceit & vanity beamed from her face, when she got hold of some ribbon...of her mamma's."

                            True simplicity, dignity, and precise perceptions shine from this book of many writers (a few of them enemies of Darwin's). It is a model of compilation, and would repay a wide readership even if it were the drama of a comfortable undistinguished Victorian, and not that of arguably the most influential of scientists and his wide circle.

                                Book Description

                                The accretion process is thought to play a key role in the Universe. This book explains, in a form intelligible to graduate students, its relation to the formation of new stars, to the energy release in compact objects and to the formation of black holes. The monograph describes how accretion processes are related to the presence of jets in stellar objects and active galactic nuclei and to jet formation. The authors treat theoretical work as well as current observational facts. This volume of the highly esteemed Les Houches series is meant as an advanced text that can serve to attract students to exciting new research work in astrophysics.

                                4 out of 5 stars I wouldn't be wanting to throw myself off the roof, not for a while..........2007-09-16

                                It has been about three years since I read a piece of fiction, excepting Michael Chabon's controversiarly titled The Final Solution: A Story of Detection (P.S.) which my friend Holly thrust upon me late last year. Maybe I burnt out from reading Infinite Jest or maybe because I just didn't think I had time to read things that would not "teach me anything." I'm not sure. Anyway, I vowed that after I finished Michael Stelzner's Writing White Papers: How to Capture Readers and Keep Them Engaged that I would read some piece of fiction on our shelf. There is plenty since the wife goes through about a book a week.

                                Anyway, having loved High Fidelity: A Novel (doesn't every ex-dj/record junkie) and Fever Pitch (doesn't every Arsenal fan) I thought A Long Way Down might be the perfect read. I could not have been more right.

                                JJ, a failed musician Jess, a failed human, Martin, a philandering ex-TV host, and Maureen, a tortured mother, could not be more different, yet very much the same. Each has their own reason for wanting to end their life. None is trivial yet none is, ultimately, worth making the ultimate sacrifice for.

                                Through the course of the book we get to learn all of the ins and outs of each character, what brought them to the brink and what, if anything, can keep them from going over it.

                                Although I will tell that, ultimately, this is an uplifting story that anyone who is thinking of suicide should read, it is hard to talk about the plot without giving much away so, instead, let me tell what else makes this book special:

                                Nick Hornby's writing style is warm and conversational. Since many of his books have been made into movies, you can almost see how this would work on the big screen (and other than length, I don't think it would need to be changed much). His postmodern style can not help but make you laugh (or, in the case of him mentioning one of my favorite books, Richard Ford's The Sportswriter, proud) and connect you to the real world. His ability to set you down in London, and make you believe these characters are real people, is almost journalistic in nature.

                                I have too many great feelings and thoughts about the book to do a review justice. Having just finished the last page, coming in off the balcony - during a beautiful football Sunday - and straight to the computer probably was not the smartest idea I have had but that is how much I liked this book. Highly recommended and made me feel good and, to quote from the book, "I wanted to hang on to that for as long as possible."

                                If you are a non-fiction reader like me and are worried that you'll be carrying this around for months, fret not. It is the type of book you will happily tear through in a few days. Great stuff. Enjoy.

                                2 out of 5 stars A Long Read.......2007-08-18

                                This is my first and last Hornby book. It was slow to get through and when I finished I felt letdown. Only one character came anywhere near to being interesting.

                                3 out of 5 stars Clearly opaque.......2007-08-07

                                I found this book to be well thought out, and the dialouge to be intriguing. However, the characters seemed out of touch, and a tad dull. Perhaps that's the point.

                                5 out of 5 stars Didn't want to put it down.......2007-08-06

                                Nick Hornby writes in a way that is captivating. He tells a tale that about four people that want to kill themselves, but somehow he manages to make it funny. I chuckled out loud a few times, and that's not something you would expect when reading a book about suicide.

                                4 out of 5 stars Four at death's roof........2007-08-04

                                A 2007 summer reading list mini review.

                                Not since Life is Beautiful have I seen humor venture forth from such an inexplicable source. In Life is beautiful, a father creates a circus like atmosphere in the midst of a death camp. In A Long Way Down, Nick Hornby brings four disparate characters embroiled in their own death camps together and turns their lives into a circus act. He milks humor from such unlikely topics as suicide, teen drug use, severe disabilities, and illegal sexual acts. It is the equivalent of making delicious lemonade from coal.
