The 'Old Bastard' raised his grandson to be a hero, not a slow horse. Now, far from joining the myths and legends of Spook Street, River Cartwright is part of Jackson Lamb's team of pen-pushing no-hopers at Slough House. Which doesn't mean he won't ditch everything and go rogue when his grandfather comes under threat. Lamb worked with Cartwright back in the day, and knows better than most that this is no innocent old man.

Beautiful language and imagery. Hilarious. Characterisation is glorious. The observations are sensational. Lamb is a genius and an arsehole in equal measures.

Thomas Sowell is one of America’s leading voices on matters of race and ethnicity. In his book, Inside American Education, he surveyed the ills of American education from the primary grades to graduate school with “an impressive range of knowledge and acuity of observation”, according to the Wall Street Journal. Now, in his book Race and Culture, he asks the question: “What is it that allows certain groups to get ahead?” and the answer will undoubtedly create debates for years to come.

Thomas Sowell is rare breed of public intellectual
Revisado: 09-03-12
If you could sum up Race and Culture in three words, what would they be?
Complete empirical integrity.
What other book might you compare Race and Culture to and why?
Grays anatomy: descriptive and surgical - rational, skeptical, truth seeking, unbiased and honest.
What does Tom Weiner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Good diction, pace and emphasis.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Important truths lavishly supported, barely heard and seldom accepted.
Any additional comments?
Sowell's empirics jab at one's beliefs relentlessly and without pity. By the sheers weight of evidence and reason one is forced to surrender down to the last cherished dillusion.
