1.The Journals of Lewis and Clark (Lewis and Clark Expedition)The Journals of Lewis and Clark (Lewis & Clark Expedition)
from Mariner Books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I am not an accomplished reader so it has to really hold my attention to finish a book. This book is written exactly from L&C's journals. Lots of mispelled words and some confusion. Sometimes hard to follow. Sometimes the minute details are a bit much. They don't really expound on things. I... more info

3.The Middle EastThe Middle East
from Scribner
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
This book serves as an epitome for the wrong way to teach history. Instead of recognizing history as an integrated narrative on human civilization, Dr. Lewis' book presents Middle Eastern history as a database of names, dates and facts. Granted, you will find plenty of information in here on the... more info

4.Islam and the WestIslam and the West
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
All seem that Islam is in conflict with West and vise versa. But the thruth is Muslim Arabs(not Islam) and West has long been rivals, poilitically and economically, since the raise of Islam as a religion in Arabs's land. The conflict is a rather power struggle than a belief in Islam as religion.... more info

5.The AssassinsThe Assassins
from Basic Books
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
You come across a book every once in a while that you know is a solid, scholarly account of a period in history. As such you don't question the author's intent or doubt that his reasoning is flawed. In fact virtually everything you read is dead on, at least from what little you know of that time... more info

Lewis is the acknowledged dean of Middle Eastern historians. The three essays included in this volume begin as a meditation on the year 1492, the year of Columbus' discovery of America, of the final Christian reconquest of Granada, and of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. Lewis presents a... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
After a short chapter entitled "Arabia before Islam," The Arabs in History is essentially a history of Arab Muslims from the time of Muhammad, through the hundreds of years of Islamic imperialism, to the short time of European dominance, to contemporary Islamic nationalism and resurgence.

8.What Went Wrong?: Western Impact and Middle Eastern ResponseWhat Went Wrong?: Western Impact and Middle Eastern Response
from Oxford University Press
Price: $9.32

Customer Review:
Required reading for a summer course at Hopkins; Lewis seems to have done it again. Some novel (to me, at least) outlooks, everything backed up flawlessly, trenchant insights.

9.Race and Slavery in the Middle East: An Historical EnquiryRace and Slavery in the Middle East: An Historical Enquiry
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $19.76

Customer Review:
I have been told several times by Muslims that Islam does not allow slavery, and similar assertions can be found on websites aimed at educating infidels about the religion.
It's not easy to understand the motive for such claims. The truth is that, unlike other salvationist, universalizing... more info

10.The Muslim Discovery of EuropeThe Muslim Discovery of Europe
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
Intel co-founder Andy Grove popularized the saying "only the paranoid survive," which has become a mantra for high tech companies competing in the fast-paced global market. The none-too-subtle message of Bernard Lewis' "The Muslim Discovery of Europe" is that "only the curious thrive," which could... more info
