history ebooks and Audio Books - by Richard SmoleyThe success of books such as Elaine Pagels's Gnostic Gospels and Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code proves beyond a doubt that there is a tremendous thirst today for finding the hidden truths of Christianity... |
"Tackling the perplexing, if not esoteric, topic of Gnosticism has proved a daunting challenge for most who have tried to introduce it to the general reading public. Not so for Smoley, former editor of the journal 'Gnosis'. This clear, concise (albeit cursory in spots) primer traces the Gnostic threads of philosophy, religion, science and popular culture from their biblical references through to their 21st century appearances in novels and film. Moving easily from one century to the next while at the same time connecting them to each other, Smoley is at once thoughtful and thought provoking . . . Throughout, Smoley reinforces that Gnosticism is, and always has been, here to stay. He paves a wide, clear path to understanding it, accessible even to the weekend seeker."

"Miami Beach proves a multilayered topic for Posner investigative journalist, bestselling author (Case Closed) and denizen of America's most 'decadent' city. Posner examines how Miami Beach turned from a quiet resort into the interconnecting site of crime, finance and politics (which one mayor described as 'a blood sport'). . . . The book comes alive from the start . . . (a) thoroughly entertaining analysis of one of the original American pleasure domes and the good times that continue to roll." (Publishers Weekly)

history ebooks and Audio Books - by Antony BeevorThe definitive account of the Normandy invasion by the bestselling author of Stalingrad and The Fall of Berlin 1945 From critically acclaimed world historian, Antony Beevor,... |
"The grand Allied invasion of Normandy had myriad ways to go wrong, writes historian Beevor (The Mystery of Olga Chekhova, 2004, etc.) in this skilled account. Miraculously, it did not. . . . What kept the Germans from knowing the exact details of the attack is the stuff of legendand a massive program of disinformation and doubleagenting, which Beevor deftly relates. The larger outlines of the story are wellknown historians and journalists from John Keegan to Cornelius Ryan have had their say about the matter. To this Beevor adds sharp observations derived from the archives . . . One of the strongest elements of the book is Beevor's inclusion of sometimes overlooked and discounted actors, including French Resistance forces and veterans of the Polish army who had made their way west . . . His account of atrocities on both sides, of errors committed and of surpassing bravery makes for excellentthough often bloodsoakedreading. Beevor gets better with each book." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Extraordinary . . . Indispensable . . . Full of jaw-dropping tales of the myriad large and small ways in which Bremer and his team poured fuel into the lethal cauldron that is today's Iraq . . . [Chandrasekaran ] has a keen eye for the small detail that illuminates larger truths . . . [he] documents the way that an avalanche of unjustifiable mistakes transforms a difficult mission into an impossible one . . . Chandrasekaran does not set out to score partisan points or unveil large geopolitical lessons; he is, essentially, a reporter telling readers what he saw. Yet it is impossible to read his book without thinking about the larger implications of the story he tells." Moisés NaÃm, The Washington Post Book World
