Round ireland with a fridge6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() For years, he was wont to tell the tale during late-night drinking matches, and after one particularly heavy-duty night of partying, he awoke to find a bet scrawled pillow-side: a friend wagered 100 pounds that Hawks wouldn't travel Ireland for a month with a refrigerator at his side. On his only prior visit to Ireland, songwriter/comic Tony Hawks had seen a man hitchhiking with a refrigerator. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. The people he meets, the difficulties, the triumphs, The Fridge. This book is the story of Tony's adventures through that incredible month. 'I hereby bet Tony Hawks the sum of One Hundred Pounds that he cannot hitch around the circumference of Ireland with a fridge within one calendar month. The next morning there is a note by his bed. It is, he insists, 'a magical place', so magical in fact, that a man could even get a lift with a fridge. ![]() Until one night, heavy with drink, he finds himself arguing about Ireland with a friend. but the fridge incident haunts our author. 'I had clearly arrived in a country', writes Tony, 'where the qualification for 'eccentric' involved a great deal more than that to which I had become used'.

Whilst in Ireland for an International Song Competition, Tony Hawks was amazed to see a hitch-hiker trying to thumb a lift, but with a fridge. ![]()

Nicholas hook agincourt6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() It should be noted that Cornwell does not have a high regard for the institution of the Church. The book climaxes in the white-knuckled, pulse-pounding, blood-spraying battle of Agincourt. ![]() During his journey, he meets a beautiful French girl named Melisande and incurs the wrath of a corrupt priest and his two sons. After failing to stop the brutal murder of a religious dissenter, he believes his soul is cursed and he can only redeem himself through noble deeds (I’ll avoid the obvious works-righteousness theological question…this is an action novel, after all, not a Scriptural treatise). But it’s Cornwell’s powerful characters that really drive this book. Fans of Shakespeare’s classic play “Henry V” (and those who have seen the 1989 film version starring Kenneth Branagh) already know how this story turns out. Henry’s ambitious goal: unite the two shattered kingdoms under the British crown. “Agincourt”, Cornwell’s latest, follows British archer Nicholas Hook as he travels with King Henry V into the depths of war-torn France. ![]() No one – I repeat, *no one* – writes epic battle scenes better than Cornwell. His bestselling novels depict young men thrust into historic conflicts that shaped the face of Western civilization – and the acclaim his books have garnered is well deserved. Bernard Cornwell is the “It” author when it comes to historical fiction. ![]()

The Butchering Art by Lindsey Fitzharris6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() However, patients were still dying of post-surgical infections in high numbers, and Louis Pasteur’s ideas about germs were still academic and not widely disseminated. The introduction of ether to British medicine in 1846 was a critical turning point because it afforded surgeons more time to perform procedures. ![]() In the early 1800s, a surgeon was little more than a butcher, a “manual laborer who used his hands to make a living, much like a key cutter or plumber today.” It didn’t help that surgery was extremely risky for patients. Joseph Lister’s choice to become a surgeon was not the most obvious or reputable one for a Quaker growing up as the son of an esteemed scientist acclaimed for his improvements to the microscope. Medical historian and popular blogger Fitzharris narrates the quest of a tenacious 19th-century doctor to save his patients in the process, he transformed the world of surgery and medicine. ![]()
