2.		Mysteries of the Middle Ages: And the Beginning of the Modern World (Hinges of History) from Anchor Price: $10.00 Customer Review: This book is beautifully printed, with an heirloom quality layout and color quality.

3.		The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels (Hinges of History) from Anchor Books/Nan A Talese Price: $4.19 Customer Review: The gift of the Jews? It is the gift of an individual relationship with god. Cahill points out that Abraham is the first character in written history who was just a regular guy--not a monarch or a favored noble.

4.		Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter (Hinges of History) from Anchor Price: $4.95 Customer Review: I am enjoying this book, but have the same problem with it that I encountered in "Irish"; Mr. Cahill makes statements that are clearly speculative read as fact. I could make an extensive list, and these obvious to me...an uneducated dilettante with little scholarly inclination. It makes me question... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		A Saint on Death Row: The Story of Dominique Green from Nan A. Talese Price: $6.95 Customer Review: Thomas Cahill is obviously against capital punishment and that is clear from the beginning of the book right to the end. Having said that he does a very good job of demonstrating how the system in Texas is so deeply flawed that it raises the possibility of executing an innocent person. I speak as a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.	[no image]	Pope John XXIII from Thorndike Press Customer Review: I read this book from cover-to-cover, and I found it typical of the arrogance I have come to expect from Thomas Cahill. His worldview can be summed up very simply: those who are not incredibly liberal - those who are not completely dismissive of tradition - are ignorant, self-seeking, or corrupt.

8.		Mysteries of the Middle Ages: The Rise of Feminism, Science, and Art from the Cults of Catholic Europe from Nan A. Talese Price: $8.95 Customer Review: Book V in the Cahill series "Hinges of History" is perhaps the best since "How the Irish Saved Civilization." With the primary focus on Italian history -- politics, art,and religion -- but with excursions to England, France, and Germany, Cahill discusses trends in the Catholic culture of the late... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.	[no image]	Gunnar's Daughter from Ampersand Assoc Price: $7.25 Customer Review: This is a much sparser version of her work than her later novel Kristin Lavransdatter. It gives much less detail and characterization so you might find it dry in comparison. I'm glad I read it but I didn't like it nearly as much as I'd anticipated based on her later writing.
