 Books Stem Cells: Controversy at the Frontiers of ScienceJuly 2005
It's a debate that's not going to go away: how should stem cells be used - if at all - in medical research? Australia has produced more than its share of vociferous campaigners on either side of its long-running and sometimes acrimonious drama. Somewhere in the middle of all the shot and shell stands Dr Elizabeth Finkel, biochemist turned journalist and author of this lucid and detailed summation of the whole issue and the problems it's thrown up so far.  Cloud AtlasJuly 2005

In this remarkable little book Godfrey Harold (better known as "G.H.") Hardy, perhaps the best mathematician in Britain in the opening decades of the 20th century, writes reflectively and intimately about the merits of his field of scholarly endeavour.
