Fascinating story of Columbus without denigrating him simply because he is a white man. The author does have a bit of biasedness against Christianity though.

Intersting and easy-to-read book exploring many facets of culture and anthropology. It is an excellent introduction to that subject in a living manner.

Wonderful book, remarkable research, accessible to non-scholars while enlightening to scholars. Truly changes the way one understands Columbus's voyages and activities in the New World. Outstanding. Wonderful, rich annotations. The footnotes are a delight to read.

This is a thoughtful and comprehensive "secular" exploration of the Akedah. She considers it from the three "major" religions as well as from a variety of sociopolitical perspectives. Her conclusions as to the "ultimate" meaning are a bit questionable and simplistic (I won't give them away). It is not an "inspirational" reading as many books on this subject try to be, but it is quite engaging just the same.
