An essential book to understanding whether the new miracle cure is good science or simply too good to be true American taxpayers spend $30 billion annually funding biomedical research, but over half of these studies can't be replicated due to poor experimental design, improper methods, and sloppy statistics. Bad science doesn't just hold back medical progress, it can sign the equivalent of a death sentence for terminal patients. In Rigor Mortis, Richard Harris explores these urgent issues with vivid anecdotes, personal stories, and interviews with the top biomedical researchers. We need to fix our dysfunctional biomedical system -- before it's too late.

American taxpayers spend $30 billion annually funding biomedical research. By some estimates, half of the results from these studies can't be replicated elsewhere—the science is simply wrong. Often, research institutes and academia emphasize publishing results over getting the right answers, incentivizing poor experimental design, improper methods, and sloppy statistics. Bad science doesn't just hold back medical progress, it can sign the equivalent of a death sentence. How are those with breast cancer helped when the cell on which 900 papers are based turns out not to be a breast cancer cell at all? How effective could a new treatment for ALS be when it failed to cure even the mice it was initially tested on? In Rigor Mortis, award-winning science journalist Richard F. Harris reveals these urgent issues with vivid anecdotes, personal stories, and interviews with the nation's top biomedical researchers. We need to fix our dysfunctional biomedical system—now.

This work looks at the social history of Toronto, showing that its pre-1939 suburbs were socially and ethnically diverse, with a large number of lower-income North American families making their homes on the urban fringe. It looks at the decentralization of blue-collar employment as a reason for working-class families leaving the city. Although there were advantages - a home of one's own, a garden, access to the countryside - the unplanned suburban developments led to increases in the costs of needed services. The author shows that, even by the 1920s, many families had fallen into arrears and lost their homes as a result of rising property taxes - a trend that deepened with the onset of the Great Depression. The text concludes that even a minimal amount of planning might have helped retain the advantages of owner-built housing while reducing public costs.

Numerical data are everywhere. Charts and statistics appear not just in geography journals but also in the media, in public policy, and in business and commerce too. To engage with quantitative geography, we must engage with the quantitative methods used to collect, analyse, present and interpret these data. Quantitative Geography: The Basics is the perfect introduction for undergraduates beginning any quantitative methods course. Written in short, user-friendly chapters with full-colour diagrams, the book guides the reader through a wide range of topics from the basic to the more advanced, including: Statistics Maths Graphics Models Mapping and GIS R Closely aligned with the Q-Step quantitative social science programme, Quantitative Geography: The Basics is the ideal starting point for understanding and exploring this fundamental area of Geography.

Following the success of his play Stepping Out, Richard Harris has combined the talents of lyricist Mary Stewart-David and composer Denis King to create a heart-warming, toe-tapping musical chronicling several months in the life of a beginners tap dancing class set in the gym of an old YMCA community center in Suburbia, USA. Led by Tina, the ex-professional dancer who runs the class, accompanied by the acerbic pianist Mrs. Fraser, we follow the lives, loves, and laughs of a group of women (and one man), all of whom come from a variety of backgrounds and have their own reasons for joining. The students, who range from hopeless to competent, strive to master the basics of tap, but the steps and routines are just the background for the real focus of the play: the relationships and interactions of these ten very different people. By their final performance not only have the class members developed some degree of skill, but they have also overcome the inhibitions, awkwardness, and personality conflicts that have kept them out of sync.

Statistics are important tools for validating theory, making predictions and engaging in policy research. They help to provide informed commentary about social and environmental issues, and to make the case for change. Knowledge of statistics is therefore a necessary skill for any student of geography or environmental science. This textbook is aimed at students on a degree course taking a module in statistics for the first time. It focuses on analysing, exploring and making sense of data in areas of core interest to physical and human geographers, and to environmental scientists. It covers the subject in a broadly conventional way from descriptive statistics, through inferential statistics to relational statistics but does so with an emphasis on applied data analysis throughout.

Craig Challen

'I just want to warn you. You're going to dive to the end of the cave. You're going to see these kids. They're all looking healthy and happy and smiley. Then, you're going to swim away, and they're probably all going to die.' In June 2018, for seventeen days, the world watched and held its breath as the Wild Boars soccer team were trapped deep in a cave in Thailand. Marooned beyond flooded cave passages after unexpected rains, they were finally rescued, one-by-one, against almost impossible odds, by an international cave-diving team which included Australians Dr Richard Harris and Dr Craig Challen. These two men were chosen for their medical expertise and cave diving knowledge, but this dangerous rescue asked so much more of them. They had to remain calm under extreme pressure and intense scrutiny, adapt to constantly changing circumstances and importantly, build trust among the rescue team and with the young boys and their coach, whose lives were in their hands. Here is the story of these two Australian men who became international heroes - it is a story of determination, cunning and triumph that will long be remembered.

A FEW OF THE MANY COMPLIMENTARY COMMENTS THE BOOK HAS RECEIVED 'I can't think of a single editor who has been as candid about their failings . . . Richard Harris, one-time editor of the News & Star in Carlisle has written a frank autobiography admitting that he wasn't up to the job of running a regional daily newspaper' - Roy Greenslade, media correspondent, The Guardian 'This is much more than a book about journalism. It's a great read and proof that, whether or not Richard Harris can edit, he can certainly write - Paul Linford, Editor, Hold The Front Page 'I had read the whole thing cover to cover within 24 hours and was so hooked I was even attempting to carry on reading while stationary at traffic lights' - Patrick Hill, Freelance journalist 'Bathos, pathos, such a lot of humour and not a little real emotional impact' - David Guide, retired journalist 'He says: "I never wanted to be a journalist but I've loved every minute of it." And I loved every page of his book,' - Anton Rippon, Sports Journalists Association
