Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass

Theodore Dalrymple

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2003

`You know funny people.'
Dr Dalrymple's essays draw on his experience as a psychiatrist treating patients in a busy general hospital in a British slum and in a prison. The public policy issues he raises are not unique to Britain, nor are the characteristics of the underclass he portrays so ...

Romancing Opiates, Revised Paperback Edition: Pharmacological Lies and the Addiction Bureaucracy

Theodore Dalrymple

Encounter Books, 2008

TD does it again.
Theodore Dalrymple makes a convincing argument to show that almost everything we 'know' about opiate addiction is way off the mark. Drawing on his vast experience, he methodically debunks the myths we believe are true about the 'addict' and the 'addiction' itself, and ...

Mass Listeria: The Meaning of Health Scares

Theodore Dalrymple

Trafalgar Square Publishing, 1998

Read it
"Mass Listeria", despite the awful title, is a wonderful book I devoured in one sitting. In the tradition of Petr Skrabanek, it is a sceptical view of the Brave New World of public health; it examines the paradox whereby the human race is healthier than any other time ...

Not With a Bang But a Whimper: The Politics and Culture of Decline

Theodore Dalrymple

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2008

"Britishness" Lost
Theodore Dalrymple's newest book, a collection of essays chiefly written for the magazine "City Journal," documents beneath the author's trademark wit and irony the sad decadence of contemporary Britain and the resultant loss of "Britishness," a grand tradition of ...

Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses

Theodore Dalrymple

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2007

The veneer of civilization
This book is a collection of 26 essays published by Dr Dalrymple since 1996. While the essays cover a range of different topics, the unifying theme is culture or, more broadly, civilization. One of my favourite essays, `When Islam breaks down', was named by ...

So Little Done
Theodore Dalrymple

Ferrington, 2004

Junk Medicine: Doctors, Lies and the Addiction Bureaucracy
Theodore Dalrymple

Harriman House Publishing, 2007

In Praise of Prejudice: The Necessity of Preconceived Ideas

Theodore Dalrymple

Encounter Books, 2007

The Most Interesting Man in the World.
Well, Dr. Dalrymple is to me at any rate. I would place him solidly on my list of top five writers without any question. Indeed, I probably will read anything he ever writes on any subject. Yes, I agree with the other reviewers that this book is too short, but, being ...

So Little Done: The Testament of a Serial Killer
Theodore Dalrymple

Andre Deutsch Limited, 1995

Rare 1995 Andre Deutsch (London) printing, which is the true first edition.
