Gail Simmons (Class of 1982, English & History):
Country of Larks, A Chiltern Journey
In the autumn of 1874, the author Robert Louis Stevenson set out on
a three-day journey across the gently rolling Chiltern Hills. Almost 150
years later, spurred by the looming construction of the HS2 railway,
Gail Simmons takes to the highways and byways of her childhood to
follow in his footsteps. Combining an account of her walk through beech
woods, farmland and villages dating back to the Domesday Book with
impassioned interviews and personal memories, she peels back the
layers of history, recording forever a world destined for change.

Dr Phill Molloy (Class of 2017, Medicine): How to Draw Anatomy
Learning anatomy can be hard. And drawing it can be even harder.
However, while reading medicine, Phill and his peers learnt through
drawings, often creating their own sketches. This was incredibly time
consuming and it was often tricky to replicate them easily while maintaining
the anatomical accuracy. How To... Draw Anatomy solves this issue.
The book offers a sequence of easy to replicate drawings in a step-by-
step manner allowing readers to draw and learn anatomy quickly in a fun
manner. It also allows a template which can be reproduced in exams or
while with patients to help answer questions or explain pathology.
