Bloomsbury USA, 2008

It's A Masterpiece

I Don't: A Contrarian History of Marriage

Susan Squire

Bloomsbury USA, 2008

I Don't: A Contrarian View of Marriage
A research product that is fascinating and memorable. The author does a sardonic job on the Old and New Testaments in examining the routes of males on top as a biblical command! Especially interesting is her cross-examination of the Genesis story with Adam, Eve, the ...

The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East

Sandy Tolan

Bloomsbury USA, 2007

Moving, Tragic, Real
This is a sublime work of art, made all the more so by its complete factual accuracy. Sure, Sandy picks and chooses the facts he'll present, as any historian does, but every thought, every moment, comes only from historical records and interviews. And perhaps it's ...

Bill Green, Ben Peskoe, ...
