4.)(Un)Manly Citizens Lori Jo Marso The Johns Hopkins University Press; 2001 Paperback
Wordy & Overpriced! Marso is excessive in her use of flowery language. Her writing is far too wordy to be enjoyed by the average reader. Many sentences take up an entire paragraph when the intended point could easily be made using far fewer words. I admit, I'm no scholar, but the work would be more fruitful if Mar…

To be fair the Author says…
21.)12 Caesars Robert Graves, Suetonius Highbridge Audio; 1993 Audio Cassette

Fantastic historical account! What? No reviews since 2005???!!! You've got to be kidding me! This was by far one of the best history books I have ever read.

Essential, thoughtful, short »mega history« Blaut's »1492" is the quickest way to get «up to speed" on the issues of Eurocentrism and falsely reading history backwards. It thoughtfully and convincingly argues that Europe was no more advanced or likely to develop hegemony or capitalism in 1491 than many other areas. New World pr…
