NEW in August 2007 from Starborn!COUNTRY BOYby Paul Groves Paul Groves’ account of a journey from the innocence of childhood to the first independent achievements of adulthood, via the hazardous straits of adolescence, will strike a familiar chord with many a reader whose formative years were the sixties and seventies. Yet it is not only this sharing of common experiences which makes this book, once started, so hard to put down, but also the reader’s inevitable delight in the colour and flow of the narrative, and in what Craig Raine has called Groves’ “technical skill, crisp imagery, intelligent irony, and an attractively sour outlook on life”. Such qualities are particularly evident in the later chapters, where religion has to face the wholly unfair competition of sex and, of course, loses.

THE FORENSIC LOGICIAN by Geoffrey Toye GEOFFREY TØYE’S remarkable new book is a detailed training manual for clear thinking and for the avoidance of all those often unconscious pitfalls and prejudices that line the way on the search for truth. The often demanding principles of logic as applied to forensics and criminal investigation are presented clearly and intelligibly, and illuminated by many real-life examples and often amusing anecdotes. This most valuable book should be on the reading list of every lawyer, forensic scientist, pathologist and police officer... A masterly exposition of the subject... PROF. BERNARD KNIGHT CBE
