Creating the Arabian Gulf
Whether called 'Arabian' or 'Persian, ' the Gulf is one of the most politically important regions of the world, and its history is necessary in understanding the contemporary Middle East. Paul Rich draws on previously closed archives to document the actual heritage of the area and dispel the myths, showing that the influences of Britain and India are far deeper than commonly acknowledged, and that the sheikhs are actually the creation of the British Raj

Origin of Dinosaurs, Mammals, Birds and Pterosaurs
This book is about the time when giant reptiles ruled the world, on land (dinosaurs), in the sea (sea monsters), and in the air (pterosaurs). It was a unique period, never to be repeated once mammals became the dominant tetrapods. Birds and mammals first appeared as well, but remained insignificant until these reptiles were already extinct. The book is designed for a wide audience of age groups, ranging in age from seven years (my grandson Jake) to those of us at 77 (my age). The approach is holistic. For example, it describes relevant concepts within the geosciences, including how fossils record the history of life and how radioactivity provides us with the numerical ages of this history. Also, it describes the significant influence of mass extinctions and of the plate tectonic rearrangement of the continents. The book is well-illustrated. There are more than 65 accurate drawings and additional cartoons.They are used to illuminate the written narrative. Enjoy.

The Silent War
Traces the history of Western colonial racist ideology and its role in subjugating non-Western peoples, analyzing the changing perception of racism in the West and how the use of "race" has altered during the course of the 20th century. Looks at WWII as the critical turning point in racist ideology, arguing that the defeat of Nazism left the West uneasy with its own racist past. Assesses how this was redefined in the postwar period, and demonstrates that Western nations were initially unwilling to accept criticism of their past. The author is a professor of sociology at the University of Kent, UK. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
