1. The Holocaust: Origins, Implementation and Aftermath (Re-Writing Histories) - by Omer Bartov 2000

The Holocaust: Origins, Implementation, Aftermath offers a critical and important study of the Holocaust. Complete with an introduction that summarizes the state of the field, this book contains major reinterpretations by leading Holocaust authors (including Levi, Burleigh and Goldhagen, among others) along with key texts on testimony, memory and justice after the catastrophe.

The book challenges conventional interpretations and truths of the Holocaust, whether it has to do with the centrality of anti-Semitism, the importance of economic calculations or the timing of the decision on the "Final Solution."

Three powerful texts provide readers with a close look at the psychology of a perpetrator, the attitude of the bystanders and the fate of the victims. Finally, there is an analysis of survivor's oral testimonies, a deeply revealing discussion on the limits of transmitting the experience of the camps to posterity and a powerful plea for the prosecution of crimes against humanity.

2. Greek and Roman Historians: Information and Misinformation - by Michael Grant 1995

It is today widely accepted that we do not get the whole truth from any historian. Greek and Roman Historians applies this undoubted
fact to ancient historians such as Herodotus, Tacitus and Thucydides. In this enlightening work, Michael Grant argues that
misinformation, even deliberate disinformation, is abundant in their writings.
Greek and Roman Historians suggests new ways of reading and interpreting the ancient historians, in order to maximize their use as
source material. Grant demonstrates that the evidence they provide can be augmented by the use of other sources, literary and
non-literary alike.
Michael Grant shows how we can find out something about the ancient world, even if it is not exactly what its historians intended us
to know. He argues that their work remains our most important source of information, once we have discounted their sometimes
inadequate regard for the truth.

4. Consuming Habits: Drugs in History and Anthropology (Consumption & Culture in 17th & 18th Centuries) By Jordan Goodman 1995

The consumption of psychoactive substances is as ancient as human societies themselves and characteristic of most cultures. These
substances have been central to the formation of civilizations, the definition of cultural identities, and the growth of the world
economy. Attention has been diverted away, however, from our understanding of their cultural and historical significance by the
labelling of these substances as "legal" or "illegal." The central theme of Consuming Habits: Drugs in History and Anthropology is to
establish that psychoactive substances are integral to the construction of culture, and a rich analytical category for the study of
historical and cultural processes.
This pioneering collection of original essays explores the rich analytical category of psychoactive substances from enlightening
historical and anthropological perspectives. Essays cover periods from prehistory, to the early modern period, to the 19th and 20th
centuries, and cultural settings including Europe, Papua New Guinea, North and South America, West Africa and Japan. Contributors
focus upon substances such as opium, cocaine and heroin, as well as coffee, tea, tobacco, kola and betel nut--substances often not
recognized for their psychoactive properties. Their challenging perspectives revitalize an agenda which has largely been set by
politicians, pharmacologists and social scientists, contributing significantly to the contemporary debate on drugs.

5. Ancient Natural History: Histories of Nature (Sciences of Antiquity) By Roger French 1994

Ancient Natural History surveys the ways in which people in the ancient world thought about nature, particularly animals and plants.
It looks at those people whose wider views are known, so that we can see their natural history in context. As a large number of
readers are aware of the importance of Greek "science" in later periods of European history, this book is designed to show how such
doctrines arose in ancient society.
Ancient natural history was the gathering and presentation of historiae, items worthy of note by the philosopher, popularizer or
marvel-monger. These "histories" were natural because they were part of the physical world. The book examines the relationship between
the physical world, the gods, Greek philosophy and the purposes of those who expressed such different notions about "nature."
Attention is given to Aristotle's animals and Theophrastus's plants.
"Histories" worthy of note most often came from distant places, and Strabo's geography is taken as illustrative of the principles of
the book. Pliny's Natural History is examined in some detail. A major theme of the book is how natural history was treated differently
by different societies: the Greeks, the Romans, Jews and Christians.

6. The Rome That Did Not Fall: The Survival of the East in the Fifth Century - By Gerard Friell 2000

Why did the Western Roman empire collapse in the fifth century and the Eastern Roman empire survive for another thousand years?
The Rome That Did Not Fall examines the two halves of the Roman empire in the fifth century_the Latin West and the Greek East. Stephen
Williams and Gerard Friell explore how, despite similar military and political turmoils, the western empire all but collapsed and the
eastern empire survived and consolidated its power in the face of the invading barbarians, weak and immature emperors and intrigues
around the throne.
The Rome That Did Not Fall analyzes the remarkable recovery of the eastern empire, comparing the parallel and diverging developments
in east and west, and tracing the evolution of new skills and strategies in the east_diplomatic, military, political and fiscal.
This well-illustrated and well-documented book provides a stimulating exploration of the fifth century Roman empire.

7. Tudor Government (Questions and Analysis in History) By T. A. Morris 1999

Tudor Government surveys government across all the Tudor reigns, including those of Henry VIII, Mary and Elizabeth. It explores such
themes as the role of parliament, law and order, the government of the church and the personal role of the monarch. Combining
narrative, questions and analysis, this book provides students with a clear background to the period and a guide to examination
success.

11. Israel's Holocaust and the Politics of Nationhood (Cambridge Middle East Studies) Idith Zertal 2005

The ghost of the Holocaust is ever present in Israel, in the lives and nightmares of the survivors and in the absence of the victims. In this compelling and disturbing analysis, Idith Zertal, a leading member of the new generation of revisionist historians in Israel, considers the ways Israel has used the memory of the Holocaust in order to define and legitimise its existence and politics. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the author exposes the pivotal role of the Holocaust in Israel's public sphere, in its project of nation building, its politics of power, and in its perception of the conflict with the Palestinians. She argues that the centrality of the Holocaust has led to a culture of death and victimhood which permeates Israel's society and self image. This penetrating book offers an entirely new perspective on Israel, its history and the construction of national identity.

12. The First Holocaust: Jewish Fund Raising Campaigns with Holocaust Claims During and After World War I - by Don Heddesheimer 2005

Six million Jews in Poland and Russia threatened with imminent holocaust: this allegation was appearing in such sources as "The New York Times" -- but the year was 1919! Don Heddesheimer's compact but substantive "First Holocaust" documents post-WWI propaganda that claimed East European Jewry was on the brink of annihilation, regularly invoking the talismanic six million figure. It gives details how that propaganda was used to agitate for minority rights for Jews in Poland, and for Zionism and Bolshevism in Poland and Russia; and demonstrates how Jewish fundraising operations in America raised vast sums in the name of feeding Polish and Russian Jews, then funneled much of the money to Zionist and Communist "constructive undertakings" -- including banks, unions, and kibbutzes -- rather than to starving Jews. "The First Holocaust," which includes eye-opening testimony from American diplomats and military attachés stationed in Poland and Russia that contradicted Jewish persecution claims, is a valuable study of American Jewish institutional operations at a fateful juncture in Jewish and European history, an incisive examination of a cunningly contrived campaign of atrocity and extermination propaganda, two decades before the alleged WWII Holocaust.

13. American Aircraft Of The World War II - by David Mondey 2007

I picked up this book because I had decided to start doing scale modelling of WWII aircraft. A quick flip through the pages showed some remarkable reproductions of squadron markings and nose art, perfect for what I had in mind. Once I got it I found out exactly what a treasure it is. In addition to American markings there are some from other countries, mostly allied like China, Honduras, Free French, etc. But there are also some pictures of captured aircraft with Luftwaffe markings, something I have never seen before.

In addition to the numerous drawings, including some truly awesome two page all angle views of some of the more famous planes like the P-51, P-47, P-40, and the P-38 (just to name some), the information content for each plane was enormous. Starting with the experimental or test designation, to the first operational version, through the different variants (including the alternate names for export versions) and armament loadouts.

Far beyond what I thought I was getting and well worth twice as much as I paid for it. If you want in-depth information on American built aircraft during WWII, this is a must have book.

14. Chernobyl Record: The Definitive History of the Chernobyl Catastrophe - by R.F Mould 2000

The nuclear accident at Chernobyl on April 26, 1986 had a heavy impact on life, health, and the environment. It caused agony to people in the Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia and anxiety far away from these countries. The economic losses and social dislocation were severe in a region already under strain. It is now possible to make more accurate assessments of these effects than it was in the first few years following the catastrophe. An internationally known author, speaker, and medical physicist, Dr. Mould visited the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in December 1987 and in June 1998. Chernobyl Record: The Definitive History of the Chernobyl Catastrophe begins with a brief description of why the accident occurred and of eye witness accounts. The book then examines the early medical response and follow up of patients with acute radiation syndrome, including power plant workers and liquidators, the evacuation and resettlement, the current and future status of the sarcophagus, dose measurement and estimation methods, population doses, the contamination of the environment, psychological illness in adults and thyroid cancer in children, and the predicted cancer incidence in the 21st century, including leukemia and solid cancers. Highly illustrated, the book includes color photographs of the early and late effects on the skin of firemen who fought the blaze, the control room where operators survived, the damage inside the sarcophagus, and the remaining radioactive fuel masses within the sarcophagus, such as the so-called "Elephant's Foot" mass for which samples were chipped off using Kalashnikov rifles. Authored by a member of the UK Government Delegation that attended the first post-accident conference in August 1986 at the IAEA in Vienna, the book also covers the accidents at Three Mile Island, Kyshtym, and Tokaimura; the effects of the Hiroshoma and Nagasaki atomic bombs; and information concerning the semi-palatinsk nuclear weapons test site in the former USSR.

15. A History of the Jews in New Mexico, 1992 - by Henry J. Tobias 1992

In this first history of the Jews in New Mexico--from the colonial period to the present day--the author continuously ties the Jewish experience to the evolution of the societies in which they lived and worked. The book begins with one of the least known but most fascinating aspects of New Mexico Jewry--the crypto-Jews who came north to escape the Mexican Inquisition. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the story is more familiar: German merchants settling in Las Vegas and Santa Fe and then coming to Albuquerque after the railroad arrived. To these accounts the author adds considerable nuance and detail, particularly on the place of Jews in smaller communities such as Roswell and Las Cruces as well as their social life and religious practice in a frontier region.

The discussion of the twentieth century focus particularly on the dynamics of Jewish development, and the ways in which that process differed in New Mexico.

17. Lying About Hitler: History, Holocaust Holocaust And The David Irving Trial - by Richard J. Evans 2001

In ruling against the controversial historian David Irving in his libel suit against the American historian Deborah Lipstadt, last April 2000, the High Court in London labeled him a falsifier of history. No objective historian, declared the judge, would manipulate the documentary record in the way that Irving did. Richard J. Evans, a Cambridge historian and the chief advisor for the defense, uses this pivotal trial as a lens for exploring a range of difficult questions about the nature of the historian’s enterprise. For instance, don’t all historians in the end bring a subjective agenda to bear on their reading of the evidence? Is it possible that Irving lost his case not because of his biased history but because his agenda was unacceptable? The central issue in the trial—as for Evans in this book—was not the past itself, but the way in which historians study the past. In a series of short, sharp chapters, Richard Evans sets David Irving’s methods alongside the historical record in order to illuminate the difference between responsible and irresponsible history. The result is a cogent and deeply informed study in the nature of historical interpretation.

18. Trepanation - By Robert Arnott 2003

Cranial trepanation is a fascinating field of study. Although more is known today about its place in human history, never before have those involved in studying these man-made skull openings come together to exchange information and ideas. This volume will look at the history of trepanation, the identification of skulls, the tools used to make the cranial openings, and theories as to why trepanation might have been performed many thousands of years ago. Among the issues addressed are: how trepanation led to modern surgery, the evolution of surgical procedures, the roles of magic, pathology and cranial injuries, future directions for study.

The volume has a cross-disciplinary appeal: chapters will be included from authorities in the field of anthropology, psychology, surgery, medical history, sociology and archeology. Chapters are written by authorities/leaders in the field. No other book is solely on trepanation.

19. The True Story of the American Flag - by John Henry Fow 2008

History is the best incentive to make men love their country; it encourages that patriotism which never falters, even at the cannon's mouth.

The sight of a flag or the music of a band merely enthuses as long as one is in sight or the other can be heard; but history and its knowledge are lasting and a source of pride. So, therefore, let it be true in all its details, no matter who may fall from the high pedestals upon which they have been placed by vain-glorious descendants.

20. A Rumor About the Jews: Reflections on Antisemitism and "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion - by Stephen Eric Bronner 2000

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is among the most infamous documents of antisemitism. A forgery created in Russia by the czarist secret police and quickly translated into a host of languages, it portrayed Judaism as a worldwide conspiracy dedicated to the destruction of Christian civilization. The appearance of the Protocols sparked a number of bloody pogroms and it helped shape the thinking of right-wing movements worldwide from Hitler's Nazis to contemporary antisemitic groups in Russia, the Middle East and the United States. A work of intellectual history, A Rumor About the Jews expresses the connection between antisemitism and the overarching political assault upon the enlightenment legacy taking the reader on a historical journey that provides a new and penetrating understanding of an insidious ideology and its broader implications.

21. Terror and Toleration: The Habsburg Empire Confronts Islam, 1526-1850 by Paula Sutter Fichtner (including 3 bonus books in RAR file) 2008

Many negative stereotypes of Muslims can be traced to the clashes between the Ottoman Empire and Christian Europe in the Middle Ages. Paula Sutter Fichtner explores here the particular dynamics between the Ottoman and Austrian Habsburg empires and chronicles the evolution of a political relationship that shifted from hatred to understanding.

In the fourteenth century, Ottoman armies swept westward across the Danube Valley before confronting the Habsburgs, who ruled central and eastern Europe, and in Terror and Toleration, Fichtner charts the religious and political conflicts that fueled 300 years of war. She reveals how ruling powers in Vienna and the church spread propaganda about Muslims that still lingers today. But the Habsburgs dramatically reversed their attitudes toward Muslims in the seventeenth century, and through this story, Fichtner explains how one can recognize an enemy while adjusting one’s views about them.

+ 3 bonus books pertaining to this book's period bracket about the Habsburg reign is included in the .rar file.

Paula Sutter Fichtner wants to explain how the Habsburg Empire's changing relationship with the Ottoman Empire affected its perception, and representation, of the "Turkish", Islamic other. Her hypothesis is that while the Ottomans constituted a military threat they were vilified as cruel and barbarous, yet after their defeat following the siege of Vienna in 1683 this stereotype was replaced by another: that of the dull-witted, comical Turk.

This linear narrative of the history of representations is qualified by her argument that simultaneously, as a consequence of "Western curiosity about the East and ... open-mindedness", a tradition of critical scholarship on the Orient was developed in the Habsburg Empire with the establishment in the 18th century of the Imperial Royal Academy of Oriental Languages with the intention of better understanding their adversary through the acquisition of accurate information.

A strength of the work is that it provides a good survey of early modern Habsburg representations of the "Turkish" other and gives the reader a fascinating insight into Habsburg anti-Ottoman propaganda: for example, the depiction of Jesus's tormentors on his way to Calvary as wearing Ottoman headdress.

However, the book lacks analytical depth and critical insight. There are plenty of facts and anecdotes, but these are not really structured into a coherent argument. Moreover, the author does not critically interrogate her primary sources; instead she tends to accept their rhetorical representations and pronouncements as largely accurate reflections of reality.

Particularly problematic is chapter one, where rather than exploring, explaining and challenging the images of the Ottomans in early modern Habsburg propaganda, Fichtner uses these representations as the basis for her own view of Ottoman society, a fact that she explicitly acknowledges: "One of the underlying premises of the present text is that hateful depictions of an aggressor ... are often not 'imaginary resolution of real anxieties' but quite realistic appraisals of what that enemy might do." She continues that it was actual brutality and cruelty that "hardwired the European imagination with dark and unflattering stereotypes of the Turks and their creed". This conflation of the voice of the historian and those of the authors of Habsburg propaganda results in the reiteration of old orientalist stereotypes.

Fichtner is an historian of the Habsburg Empire and thus understandably not an expert on the Ottoman Empire, but her depiction contains a number of significant inaccuracies and, more worryingly, the evidence she presents for some of her more contentious claims does not stand up to scholarly scrutiny.

In a climate characterised by tabloid journalism's frequently misinformed and thinly disguised anti-Islamic polemic, we need a scholarly book analysing how and why negative representations of an Islamic other arise in particular contexts, exploring the extent to which these views were accepted as accurate by the wider community, and examining how and why they ultimately changed. Unfortunately this is not it. ”

24. Fables of the Ancients?: Folklore in the Qur'an - by Alan Dundes 2003

Given the widespread consensus that the Qur'an was in oral tradition before being committed to written form, it should come as no surprise to learn that the Qur'an still bears the traces of its original oral form. The field of knowledge most concerned with oral tradition is folkloristics, the study of folklore. Folklorist Alan Dundes has carefully and respectfully documented some of these unmistakable traces. These traces include numerous oral formulas repeated throughout the Qur'an as well as several traditional folktales. Just as Jesus effectively used parables to get His message across, so similar means are to be found in the Qur'an. The scholarly identification of formulas and folktales in the Qur'an represents an entirely new approach to this world-famous religious text. Not only does it provide insight into the basic composition of this sacred document, but for readers not previously familiar with the Qur'an, it pinpoints and makes accessible many of the principal themes contained therein.

25. The Lost Gospel: The Book of Q & Christian Origins - by Burton L. MacK 1993

If its premise is accepted by a preponderance of theologians, this debatable study could bring about a rethinking of the origins of Christianity. Mack presents an analysis of the so-called Book of Q , a supposed collection of Jesus's sayings that was compiled by his followers during his lifetime. Certain scholars, deducing the existence of the book, have reconstructed the putative text of this "lost gospel" during the last 20 years through a comparison of the gospels of Matthew and Luke, who, it is contended, used Q as a common basis (Q stands for Quelle , German for "source"). Mack, a professor of New Testament at the School of Theology at Claremont College in Los Angeles, concludes that "the people of Q"--Jesus's contemporaries--thought of him as a teacher, not as a messiah, and that they did not regard his death as a divine or saving event. Mack offers an earthy, colloquial translation of the Book of Q with its wisdom sayings, exhortations, parables and apocalyptic pronouncements. His portrayal of the early Jesus movement reveals a community based on fictive kinship without regard to class, gender or ethnicity. The discovery of Q , Mack argues, compels us to see the New Testament gospels as imaginative creations rather than historical accounts. $25,000 ad/promo; BOMC and QPB selections

28. Consumer Acceptance of Genetically Modified Foods - R. E. Evenson, V. Santaniello 2004

In recent years there have been increasing concerns about the potential health risks of genetically modified foods. Consumer perceptions vary between countries, but are probably most pronounced in Europe and least in North America. These have had a profound and controversial effect on the development of markets for GM products. This book presents a compilation of studies of consumer acceptance to GM foods. Theses studies utilized different methods and evidence including: price and expenditure data; experimental methods; "willingness to pay"; consumer attitudes; and economic consequences. Case studies cover a range of countries, including the USA, several European countries, Japan, New Zealand and Colombia. Chapters are based on papers presented at meetings of the International Consortium on Agricultural Biotechnology Research, held in Ravello, Italy.

29. The Oxford Book of Health Foods - J. G. Vaughan, P. A. Judd, David Bellamy 2006

Health foods and dietary supplements are widely used throughout the world - it is estimated that more than seventy million people in Europe regularly buy these products, and it is a billion dollar business in the USA. Health foods include vitamins, minerals, cereals, nuts, herbal medicines, functional foods, and many others. A large number of people use these foods in the belief that they contribute to their general health, while, in most countries, little or no information is given on products explaining their therapeutic values. The Oxford Book of Health Foods begins with an account of modern concepts of human nutrition, followed by a series of over one hundred accounts of individual health foods and dietary supplements. In all cases the importance of these products in human health is explained, and, for herbal medicines, the evidence for their claimed therapeutic value is given, and toxic effects are described. Full-colour illustrations accompany these accounts. The Oxford Book of Health Foods will be of interest not just to health professionals, but to all people with an interest in health foods and healthy eating. The text is supplemented throughout by beautifully drawn botanical illustrations.

32. Vitamins: Their Role in the Human Body - by George Ball 2004

This single-source reference draws together the current knowledge of the vitamins' biological properties in the context of human nutrition. Vitamins are co-enzymes, antioxidants or precursors of hormones and are therefore involved in a great many biochemical and physiological processes. They play a vital role in the maintenance of health, and there is evidence that dietary sources of vitamins have beneficial effects in the prevention of heart-related diseases, bone diseases and possibly cancer.

Following introductory chapters on historical and nutritional aspects of vitamins, the next four chapters cover relevant and detailed aspects of physiology and functional anatomy, biochemistry, immunology and the regulation of protein synthesis by nuclear hormone receptors. These background chapters, supported by a glossary of terms, provide the scientific principles upon which vitamin functions are based. The following thirteen chapters deal with each vitamin in turn. Subject areas include chemical structure, intestinal absorption, transport, metabolism, biochemical and physiological actions, immunoregulatory properties, deficiency-related diseases and potential toxicity. An extensive bibliography refers the reader to the original research literature.

Vitamins is aimed at nutritionists, biochemists, physiologists and physicians whether they be researchers, teachers or students. Food scientists, food technologists and many others working in the health professions will also find much of use and interest in the book. The inclusion of the theoretical principles in the background chapters makes the book an ideal starting point for those working outside the area who need a solid overview of the subject.
