From Craft to Specialty is a medical and social history of surgical anesthesia, from long before the advent of 'modem' clinical anesthesia in 1846 to the present day. It emphasizes the fact that, over the past century and a half, anesthesia has progressed from being a craft based on empirical knowledge, to a discipline in which a scientific approach began to shape its practice, and, fi nally, in the 1930s,to become a medical specialty that encompassed research and formal education and certification of practitioners as well as practice. Two other aspects of change in anesthesia are stressed in this comprehensive history. One concerns the change in the nature and scope of anesthesia. Today, anesthesiologists work not only in the technically sophisticated environment of operating rooms but also elsewhere, specializing in the management of pain due to various causes, participating in intensive care of the critically ill, and involving themselves also in the resuscitation of victims of sudden collapse. The second aspect of change follows on the first, for the diversity of the practice of anesthesiology is such that it now plays an increasingly important part in health care.

The first of renowned artist David Shepherd's collections of colour slides - An Artist Among the A Photographic Record of the Very End of Southern Region Steam - was published in January 2012. To produce the title, Noodle Books was privileged to be able to access the author's extensive collection of slides taken during the 1960s when he was travelling around Britain recording the final years of main-line steam operation and producing the iconic works of art for which he is renowned. The first volume dealt solely with the end of steam on the Southern but David Shepherd also recorded steam elsewhere and, published in spring 2013, this collection continues with the story 'north of the Thames' into the industrial Midlands and North-East where steam traction lasted until 1968. As with the earlier volume, the book includes David's moving comments about the very end of steam on BR. This is not an ordinary type of railway book. The artist's eye is ever present to capture scenes and colours so often overlooked and revealing details of light, shade, night and day that make the pictures mesmerising and memorable.
