    Jonathan Glover is a British philosopher known for his studies on bioethics. I interviewed him about books that shed light on moral philosophy and he made surprising selections.

    ‘I teach philosophy, especially ethics,’ he said. ‘This could be a list of books by the great philosophers, but only one of them fits that description. This is because the questions I am most interested in are about how we should live and...

    Nazi John Demjanjuk is on trial in Germany for his part in the extermination of thousands of Jews at Sobibor. It is for that reason that I wanted to bring everyone’s attention to the excellent interview to be found at The Browser with Times journalist Guy Walters. He is the author of eight books, which include four wartime thrillers, the critically acclaimed Berlin Games and his latest work on Nazi...

    Writing the Story of My Life By Sophie Roell, like a lot of people these days I’ve been trying to write the story of my life. I haven’t got a title yet, and of course I don’t know how it’s going to end - or even which way it’s heading, most of the time. But overall, it’s still fairly rewarding.

    The amazing thing about working for The Browser and doing the Five Books interviews is how much I’ve learnt from the people I’ve interviewed. In choosing the best Five Books on their area of expertise, the Browsees often encapsulate whole areas of the world (as Sara Wheeler does with The Polar Regions and Michela Wrong does with Africa) or whole conflicts (Philip Gourevich on Rwanda), even whole schools of thought...
