Current Non-Fiction reads

The Jigsaw Man - The autobiography of forensic psychologist Paul Britton; one of the foremost offender profilers in the world. Britton has been involved in some of the most high profile cases in the U.K.--the murder of Jamie Bulger, notorious House of Horror...to name but two. A fascinating read and insightful glimpse into the early days of criminal profiler and its evolution.
 
For the U.S. equivalent, I can highly recommend Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit by John Douglas.
 
Thanks muchly, sparkchaser, suggestions are always welcome. Title and author duly noted. :)

I looked yesterday and found a thread related to it, the book you referenced was brought in to the discussion and you posted something like "hey!, I'll have to check that out!" Glad to be an indirect influence in my own way. :lol:
 
Now that my semester is over and I can read whatever I want. I decided to pick up "The Third Chimpanzee"

Jared Diamond writes science in lay words for anyone to understand. He throws is some jabs at Anthropologists and Archaeologists just for laughs....so far so good
 
The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow. I'm only a quarter way through the book, but already finding it an engrossing and thought provoking book.
 
Cambridge Latin Course Book IV--I've decided to get back into my Latin studies.

Les Carlyon's, Gallipoli--A well researched history of the campaign on the Gallipoli Pennisula...particularly the ANZAC involvement.
 
Unsinkable

Just finished reading Unsinkable, the story of 16-year old Abby Sunderland's attempt to sail solo round the world and her shipwreck and rescue in the Indian Ocean. It's a portrait of courage, adventure and of a young woman overcoming huge odds to make a dream come true. Here's a link: http://dld.bz/YRZE
