Reviews:

  • There’s not many squash books available so if you can get hold of this then you’ve nothing to lose. Focuses on the basics and builds up nicely. A good concept for a book and is structured well.
  • I used to be an avid squash player but haven’t been able to find time lately. I was looking for some inspiration and found this book. Everybody who is passionate about squash knows about Jahangir Khan. He was an absolute legend and for the price this book was a steal. I read it during my London tube journey and I am quite pleased with it. It has plenty of pictures and illustrations. JK has mentioned plenty of useful tips although I already knew most of them…it is the presentation with images that I found useful. Is a thumbs up and a fairly small book to carry around. It is not exactly a penny because you will end up paying a few pounds for the package/delivery but it is worth it!

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam.

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
