My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fun read that younger kids will love...

More often than not children relate themselves with the characters of a good story. In such circumstances, reading fiction can help them to get inspiration from the characters. These stories often portray real life implications through anecdotes, and as such makes it easier for them to understand the complex aspects of life. Moreover, reading these stories at regular intervals can actually help them to develop a positive outlook towards life, which eventually proves beneficial for good character development.

DONK AND THE STUBBORN DONKEYS by K.A. Mulenga is a delightful and charming children's picture book that makes a perfect bedtime story. The author writes in a wonderfully entertaining and imaginative style that will guarantee the attention of young minds. If you ever wanted to bond even more with your children or grandchildren, this would be a very enjoyable story to share with them. I read this book with my grandkids and they loved it.

Raging Waters in the South China Sea: What the Battle for Supremacy Means for Southeast Asia

Raging Waters in the South China Sea: What the Battle for Supremacy Means for Southeast Asia by Rachel a Winston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well written, informative and insightful...

Raging Waters in the South China Sea: What the Battle for Supremacy Means for Southeast Asia by Rachel A. Winston, Ph.D. and Ishika Sachdeva is a very well written and researched book. Informative and insightful, the authors present an easy to read perspective on current and significant international events relating to China and its impact on the entire world.

To paraphrase the authors, they state from the outset that this book was not written as a scholarly tome for researchers since some of the topics are simplified for brevity and readability. Nevertheless, there is scholarship within, and some of the maps, charts, and timelines are clearer than other reference materials. Their aim is to break down unfamiliar rhetoric and overwhelming concepts in order to eliminate any barriers the readers might have with intellectually-astute journal articles. Their goal is to engage the curious learner. This book was written to lay a foundation for the public to understand the past and present events in the South China Sea, including how states are navigating the choppy waters of diplomacy regarding territorial claims and how decisions made now are shaping our world’s future.

If you are looking to gain a better understanding about what’s happening with China and regional countries in the South China Sea, this book would come highly recommended.

50 Years in the OR: True Stories of Life, Loss, and Laughter While Giving Anesthesia by Ronald Whitchurch

50 Years in the OR: True Stories of Life, Loss, and Laughter While Giving Anesthesia by Ronald Whitchurch
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An observational, witty and insightful read...

An anesthetist nurse is a registered nurse who has educational training in administering anesthesia. They work in hospitals mostly in the surgical areas where they administer anesthesia to patients who are going in for surgery. Their work is to make sure that the patients get enough levels of the drug before they can go in for their procedures or surgeries. This is a very sensitive job and thus the nurse needs to have special training on how to handle the anesthesia and the anesthetics in the proper way. They also need to have experience working with patient care.

50 Years in the OR: True Stories of Life, Loss, and Laughter While Giving Anesthesia by Ronald Whitchurch was a fascinating observational, entertaining and insightful read. The author communicates almost 50 years of experience by sharing many stories and anecdotes about the growth of his profession. At times, this book was emotional and heartrending while also sprinkled throughout with entertaining and hilarious stories.

A highly recommended and must-read for anyone interested in, or considering entering into, the medical profession. The book contains adult themes so would make it unsuitable for the younger (or squeamish) reader. A well-deserved five stars from me.
