Author: Abul K. Rashid

"Rashid succinctly analyzes the challenges that scholars and researchers face in conducting quantitative survey research. He critically probes the ethical theories and leadership problems behind such surveys and suggests concrete solutions to improve the perceived problems. He uses the available resources in the field to analyze those inadequacies. While he benefits from others and critically debates their thoughts, he offers his own suggestions without condemning the valuable works of his predecessors. Rashid’s research is a ground-breaking work in the field. Definitely, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students will benefit from this research. They will find in it a useful tool of analyzing and re-evaluating the quantitative survey research which will guarantee job satisfaction especially in this modern day of advanced communication technology. Rashid should be credited for utilizing simple common language, free of academic jargons, in conveying his ideas to the general readers of his work.” - Reviewed by Dr. Yushau Sodiq, Associate Professor, Texas Christian University, Texas

The Ratchet of Science - Curiosity Killed the Cat
Author: Roy Calne
Deptartment of Medicine and Surgery, Cambridge University, UK, National University of Singapore |
"This excellent book, written by the distinguished surgeon, Roy Calne, deserves a wide readership. It describes clearly and concisely the huge scientific advances throughout history and reflects on the good and the evil consequences of discoveries. Due to the worrying nature of human beings, each ratchet, or step forward in our knowledge is too often accompanied by dangerous applications. The theme of the book is that knowledge, once established by a reliable scientific method, cannot be unlearned. The cat is out of the bag and the curiosity may kill the cat. The introduction tells of the young physicist, Lise Meitner who discovered and named nuclear fission. Appalled by the later harnessing of nuclear fission to produce a weapon for mass murder, she then refused to have anything to do with the atomic bomb project. The book deals with the idea that whereas the history of science moves forwards, the same cannot necessarily be said for the behaviour of mankind, thus echoing the words of Martin Luther King, 'we live in an age of guided missiles and misguided men'. It is a fascinating thought-provoking story." - Reviewed by Sara Woodall
"I have greatly enjoyed reading this manuscript. If other readers are like me they will be stimulated to go back to your sources and read in depth on those of the subjects you have covered that pique their interest. In my medical school years the graduates used to be given a copy of Osler's Aquinimitas, a collection of aphorisms and observations on life and medicine which is now of course outdated. This book would be a more than suitable successor." - Reviewed by Allan MacDonald, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada "Roy Calne is a pioneering surgeon of international stature. He is also a witty, scrupulous writer. In "The Ratchet of Science" he inquiries into the ambiguous blessings of medical-scientific progress. Drawing on the wide spectrum of fundamental and technical advances, Calne points to the social, human cost which these entail. The calm, at time ironic analyses which he presents make this little book a classic. It deserves the widest possible read ship." - George Steiner, Literary Critic, Essayist, Philosopher, Novelist, and Educator This book has also been reviewed in the following publication.
