I Wish I'd Made You Angry Earlier: Essays on Science, Scientists, and Humanity
Max Perutz is an extraordinary scientist. After training in chemistry at the University of Vienna during the 1930s, he went to Cambridge and became fascinated by biochemistry just as that discipline was becoming ripe for conquest by scientific heroes. He knew and worked with many of them: William Bragg, J.D. Bernal, Crick and Watson--and became one himself, through his discovery of the structure of hemoglobin, which led to his Nobel Prize in 1962. Such are the credentials Perutz brings to this wonderful collection of essays, credentials that he uses always to illuminate, never to dominate. In prose that rolls by like countryside seen from the window of a train, Perutz takes the reader traveling through his own life and that of many other leading scientists, giving fresh insights into the workings of first-rate minds. We meet such characters as Leo Szilard, the inventor of the atomic bomb, who devoted his life to preventing its use, and the German chemist Fritz Haber, the very mirror image of Szilard, who became a real-life Faust. We also learn much about Perutz's own approach to science--including his involvement in a project to harness icebergs in the fight against the Nazis. With its combination of subject choice and light, often humorous, style, this is one of the best collections of scientific essays to emerge for years. --Robert Matthews, Amazon.co.uk.

They Shoulda Told Me Earlier
Written after he had a heart attack when he was 18, Trevor UmbreitÂ’s collection of short stories is an anthem for young adults. Hilarious and insightful, Umbreit hits on college, but also delves into love, infatuation, sex, loss, death, racism, politics, and everything in between While maintaining a comedic voice, and often using satire, he taps into the core of human nature and challenges what it means to be a living, breathing, thinking, young American. Encouraging and thought provoking, this is much more than a book about college. ItÂ’s a book about growing up. ItÂ’s a book about life. The fact that Umbreit makes this completely entertaining is where his talent truly shines..
