|author= Siri Hustvedt
|title= A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women: Essays on Art, Sex and the Mind
|rating= 4
|genre= Politics and Society
|summary= I must confess that ''A Woman Looking'' spoke to me on a profound, intimate level. This is in part due to the apparent similarities between me and Siri Hustvedt - we are both feminists who love art and also love science in a world which emphasises that these two passions are mutually exclusive. What Hustvedt suggests in ''A Woman Looking'' is that it is the similarities between these two areas we should emphasise and that a cohesive, inclusive approach towards art and science could help fill the gaps in both disciplines.

|summary=Most people probably accept trees as, well, ''trees''. They're there and they're green. Some are lighter, some darker. Some are taller and other go for width, but as for telling them apart there were few that I could identify until recently. I knew that the big tree at the bottom of next door's garden is a sycamore, but only because I heard someone say 'that sycamore is going to cause problems with the drains of the flats at the back'. I was OK on white horse chestnuts too, but only when the kids were collecting conkers, so I was rather pleased when Will Cohu's book landed on my desk and I opened it expecting to find lots of pictures with all the details which I probably wouldn't remember.

|author=Eugenia Cheng
|title=Cakes, Custard and Category Theory: Easy recipes for understanding complex maths
|rating=5
|genre=Popular Science
|summary= Eugenia Cheng is a professor of maths and a lover of cake. If you’re wondering how those two things could ever intersect, it's quite easy. And the result, the middle of the Venn diagram, if you will, is this book which makes maths fun, meaningful and relatively easy to digest. Much like her recipes.
