When We Were Kids is a book of original, autobiographical essays by twenty-seven scientists, including Paul Davies, Richard Dawkins, Daniel C. Dennett, Freeman Dyson, Murray Gell-Mann, Nicholas Humphrey, Lynn Margulis, Steven Pinker & Robert M. Sapolsky. Each writer attempts to identify that moment or those influences in his or her youth which triggered the determination to become a scientist. Was there a particular event or set of circumstances? To what extent did parents, peers of teachers contribute? Why mathematics rather than psychology; why biology rather than physics? What were the turning points, mistakes, epiphanies? Personal, passionate, revealing, enthralling, When We Were Kids tells as much about life as it does about science. ...

The best libraries in Victorian Britain kept this tome under lock & key, permitting access only to doctors & professors. Scotland Yard had a copy in their reference library, & even Sherlock Holmes may have had recourse to a copy in certain investigations. In private collections across the English speaking world, it was kept on top shelves, or safely stowed in locked cabinets, beyond the reach of minors, domestics & spouses. Any woman who gazed upon its pages was said to have fainted away. The church campaigned to have it banned & the German translation was burned at Nuremberg. Many antiquarian book sellers believe the book to have been a myth, others claimed it changed hands at enormous cost, & some are certain all original copies are now lost. But Curious Pleasures does exist & is back in print ...

Curry changed & evolved according to the tastes of the various invaders of India. The Mughals brought with them the rice dishes of Persia; the Portuguese introduced the chilli peppers recently discovered by Christopher Columbus in the New World; & the Mrs Beetons & Eliza Actons of the British Raj added jam, carrots & apples to their curry recipes. The Raj also ensured that curry came the other way, from India to Britain
- & today the British consume no less than 18 tonnes a year of their favourite chicken tikka masala, a dish which purists claim is not Indian at all, but meat in gravy whipped up with a few spices (and sometimes a can of tomato soup!).
Almost every Indian dish is a fusion of different food traditions. This book, which tells the story of such dishes, & the people who invented, discovered, cooked & ate them, is vivid, entertaining
- & delicious
