Oneworld Publications, 2007

A very powerful and memorable book
SOPHIE SCHOLL & THE WHITE ROSE is, essentially, about the finest aspects of human nature. The White Rose members' integrity and their compassion for their fellow Germans and, more surprisingly, for the Jewish population who had endured years of prejudice and oppression ...

Islam: Past, Present and Future

Hans Kung

Oneworld Publications, 2008

Comprehensive, Scholarly, Sympathetic
At first glance, Fr. Hans Kung's mammoth discussion on the dynamic world of Islam seems like a daunting task. Not only is the book rather sizeable, but a glance at the Table of Contents previews Kung's goal for the book: discuss practically everything about Islam! ...

Gibran's Little Book of Love

Kahlil Gibran

Oneworld Publications, 2007

Very little with a big message
This was a wonderful little book that I purchased for a good friend. I didn't realize that it truly is a "little" book as the size is about the size of the palm of my hand but it had some wonderful excerpts from Gibran. After seeing the one I got for my friend I want ...

Without oil, there would be no globalisation, no plastic, little transport, and a global political landscape that few would recognise. In this captivating book Vaclav Smil explains all matters related to the 'black stuff', from its discovery in the earth, right through to the political maelstrom that surrounds it today. Packed with fascinating ...

The Mantle of the Prophet: Religion and Politics in Iran

Roy Mottahedeh

Oneworld Publications, 2000

An Education In Iranian History, Politics And Values
Though deliberate in its pace and what I might call dry in tone, I believe this book, which I read over the summer, masterfully reveals the real Iran as it was in the last two decades of the twentieth-century, and gives the best insights I've yet found into that nation ...

Energy: A Beginner's Guide (Beginner's Guides)

Vaclav Smil

Oneworld Publications, 2006

Not necessarily a beginner's guide.
This is an easy to follow guide for the beginner. You don't have to know calculus to follow the math. I daresay it could be a useful review for the more sophisticated reader.

Quantum Physics: A Beginner's Guide

Alastair I. M. Rae

Oneworld Publications, 2006

A good introduction to quatum
I read a review in which the reviewer said he reads 5 books a year and that makes him an authority. That made me chuckle. I think Einstein himself said, he was no Einstein. I've read about 3 dozen books on physics and math in the last 2 years and this one is another ...

The Hidden Words

Oneworld Publications, 2004

A Baha'i Religious Text
I have had a long curiosity about the Baha'i Faith and its teachings of the universal nature of religion, the unity of human beings, and the imperative of tolerating and respecting beliefs different from one's own. I have always been intrigued by how these teachings of ...

The Buddha: A Short Biography (Oneworld Short Guides)

John S. Strong

Oneworld Publications, 2001

Extensive to extremes but not exhausting
One of the problems of this book is it is too short. It can be finished in two hours flat or around that and contained an astonishing wealth of material including much I did not know. There are such tantalising leads set up about the man, and a voluminous set of follow ...

Fair Trade: A Beginner's Guide (Beginner's Guides)

Oneworld Publications, 2007

Simple yet powerful
In a direct style, the author presents us a lot of information and references as well as her impressive personal experience in Fair Trade, backed by a thorough research. The title can be misleading: it is not only for beginners, as all Fair Trade followers can ...
