1.		The Journals of Lewis and Clark (Lewis & Clark Expedition) from Mariner Books Price: $5.00 Customer Review: It's amazing they pulled it off and lost only one man (and got into a real fight with the natives only once) and despite all the incredible difficulties wrote it all down. There is no substitute for getting it directly from the horse's mouth. Bernard DeVoto does a great job keeping the story flowing... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		What Went Wrong?: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East from Harper Perennial Price: $2.92 Customer Review: It's hard to say anything new about Bernard Lewis, or about this short book, based on lectures delivered ten years ago. It is essentially an essay on possible causes of and remedies for the decline of the Islamic world since about the 1700s. It is not a history book per se; history is merely the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $4.75 Customer Review: Suppose, Prof. Bernard Lewis intones, that the Ku Klux Klan had taken over Texas a century ago, and used its vast oil wealth to propogate its wicked ideology through a global network of KKK-funded schools. Now you understand the significance of the pro-Wahhabist House of Saud taking over Arabia... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		The Assassins from Basic Books Price: $6.50 Customer Review: An anachronistic history of the Nizari Isma'ilis of Alamut. Read Farhad Daftary and Marshall G. S. Hodgson's studies instead.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		The Middle East: 2000 Years of History from the Rise of Christianity to the Present Day (History of Civilization) from Weidenfeld & Nicolson History Price: $15.00 Customer Review: I was looking for a broad overview of what we now know as the Middle East. That Eurocentric, somewhat inappropriate term is explored by Lewis in an easy, flowing narrative that jumps decades, centuries, geography and culture fairly seamlessly. I've been told by friends who are studying the region... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Islam: The Religion and the People from Wharton School Publishing Price: $13.42 Customer Review: The book made an enormous effort of covering all aspect of Islam in a sober way. If you don't know the topic I think it's a good start before consuming the scary parts in other books.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.	[no image]	The Jews of Islam from Routledge Price: $161.00 Customer Review: How the world changes in a very short time! I am certain that had Bernard Lewis written this work today its emphasis and message would be slightly different. The Islamic today has been infested with a vicious kind of anti- Semitism which it learned in part from Nazi Europe. It has developed a kind... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		The Arabs in History from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.04 Customer Review: Bernard Lewis is one of the world's foremost scholars on Islamic history and the Middle East. He has written a multitude of books, some dealing with more specific aspects of the Muslim world and it's relations with the West. But here history is written in broad strokes, as Lewis covers Arabic... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Islam and the West from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $8.22 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	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

Facility Manager's Operation and Maintenance Handbook from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $85.36 Customer Review: It is something I am looking for plus it gives me idea about how to look for related issues in the FM industry.
