Customer Review:

India has one of the richest and most intricate cultures in the world. Imagine a book that compiled all the ancient sources of this culture into a single volume.

Sources of Indian Tradition, Vol. 2: Modern India and Pakistan (Introduction to Oriental Civilizations)
from Columbia University Press
Price: $31.50

Customer Review:

Most of the time I have large problems with huge collections of primary sources such as this too often we get a picture of society from the top down and not the bottom up.

K2, The Savage Mountain: The Classic True Story of Disaster and Survival on the World's Second Highest Mountain
from The Lyons Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

Although I have nothing but the utmost respect for these reknowned climbers and their worthy attempt to summit K2, I did not enjoy this book nearly as much as some of the other climbing epics out there today.

Soldiers of God: With Islamic Warriors in Afghanistan and Pakistan
from Vintage
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:

I developed quite a dislike for Kaplan as I read this book, but the subject matter was sufficiently fascinating to help me forgive his not-entirely-subtle dislike of Asians. This book provides an on the ground view of the Soviet Invasion and subsequent chaos. The glimpses of Afghani society,... more info
