Customer Review:

If you enjoy detective novels and also have an interest in sociology and literary history, this is the book for you.

Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith
from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

Never before have I had to actually turn my eyes from the page because the text/truth was too horrific to read. This book takes you into the lives of the FDLS. It should scare the bejeezus out of anyone that this sort of thing is going on right here in our country. Not to mention the predicted... more info

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:

In Collapse, Jared Diamond utilizes what is on the surface a sound scientific approach to the problems of societies and their eventual collapse. Unfortunately, the focus of this topic is visibly narrow. For his "prehistoric" examples he used 1,000 year old societies, in addition to more recent ones,... more info

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:

Guns, Germs and Steel is a scientific historical treatment on the rise and fall of civilizations and the reasons why the western world is considered successful.

Murder of a Medici Princess
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

Caroline Murphy's new book is another "must have" for lovers of remarkable lesser-known royal stories. One is taken into the extraordinarily "ahead-of-her-time" life of Isabella de Medici, a Renaissance princess and daughter of the first Grand Duke of Tuscany. A thoroughly gifted, cultured and... more info

The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story
from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.29

Customer Review:

I really enjoyed this book and the photos; I learned a lot. (It should be required reading.) It's well-researched, with notes, a bibliography, and an index. Not only did it flesh out the history, the characters were interesting--the people and the animals. (I loved the badger and the carnivorous... more info

Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (Plus)
from HarperOne
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

The title of this book is misleading and unnecessarily provocative; but I suppose it's what publishers want in this era of the Da Vinci Code and the Gospel of Judas. As many reviewers have pointed out, it is basically an introduction for non-biblical scholars to the world of New Testament textual... more info
