Small by Small - Dr Ike Anya - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

Small by Small - Dr Ike Anya - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

As he works his way through his medical training, Ike Anya''s grandmother reassures him, saying: Everything worthwhile is achieved small by small. It''s the 1990s, a turbulent time in Nigeria''s political history, and a young Ike Anya embarks on the journey to qualifying as a medical doctor. In a story that charts the triumphs and failures of his student days through to his first demanding year as a house officer, Anya''s sharp wit, gentle humour and abounding curiosity present a medical memoir unlike any from the West. Recalling the vibrancy of tempestuous 1990s Nigeria - the political unrest, social change and worsening economy - Anya also celebrates the friendships, minor rebellions and hard graft of student days. Small by Small is a deeply intimate memoir imbued with determination, compassion and a love of storytelling.

Independence - Alasdair Gray - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

Gray argues that a truly independent Scotland will only ever exist when people in every home, school, croft, farm, workshop, factory, island, glen, town and city feel that they too are at the centre of the world.

It describes the many differences between Scotland and England. It examines the people who choose to live north of the border. It shows Scotland''s relevance to the rest of the world. It attempts to conjure a vision of how a Scots parliament might benefit the people of this small but dynamic nation.
