Great book! An excellent supplement to Tuchman's classics "The proud tower" and "Guns of august".
Wonderful popular survey with unique interpretation of world events.
Great analysis; but seems to have been a little rushed. Better fact checking would have been useful. M Ignatief is not the leader of Canada's Labour Party.
Required reading for anyone interested in the nature of religion and role it has played in communities and individuals. Bowker compares and contrasts answers to suffering offered by mainstream religions including, Marxism!
Thoughtful, well written and controversial history of the outcome of Constantine's reforms in the Fourth Century and the development anti-semitism.
This didn't pass the 100 page test. I'll have to try it again when I'm not as grumpy.
A fun read with an interesting premise. I'm looking forward to reading the others!
Finishing the Hat : Collected Lyrics (1954-1981) with Attendant Comments, Principles, Heresies, Grudges, Whines and Anecdotes by Stephen Sondheim
Fantastic! Thrilled to read about his collaboration on West Side Story especially his critical assessment of the lyrics. The discussion of true rhyme and writing lyrics is fascinating.
