We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With O

Stories From Rwanda

BY PHILIP GOUREVITCH
In April 1994, the Rwandan government called upon everyone in the Hutu majority to kill each member of the Tutsi minority, and over the next three months 800,000 Tutsis perished in the most unambiguous case of genocide since Hitler's war against the Jews. Philip Gourevitch's haunting work is an anatomy of the war in Rwanda, a vivid history of the tragedy's background, and an unforgettable account of its aftermath. One of the most acclaimed books of the year, this account will endure as a chilling document of our time.

The Weather Makers

How Man Is Changing The Climate And What It Means For Life On Earth

BY TIM FLANNERY
Both an urgent warning and a call to arms, "The Weather Makers" outlines the history and science of climate change, how it may unfold over the next century, and what people, industry and nations can do now to prevent a cataclysm in the future. Originally somewhat of a global warming skeptic, Tim Flannery spent several years researching the topic and offers a connect-the-dots approach for a reading public who has received patchy or misleading information on the subject. Pulling on his expertise as a scientist to discuss climate change from a historical perspective, Flannery also explains how climate change is interconnected across the planet.

Western Way Of War

"this gem from my undergraduate studies lays out how warfare is untenable and morally reprehensible" The Greeks of the classical age invented not only democracy, but also the central act of Western warfare, the decisive infantry battle, a ferocious, brief, and destructive head-on clash between armed men of all ages. In this bold, original study, Victor Davis Hanson shows how they believed this led to an unequivocal, instant resolution to dispute. Linking this new style of fighting to the rise of constitutional government, Hanson raises new issues and questions old assumptions about the history of war.

The Wetherills

Friends Of Mesa Verde

BY FRED BLACKBURN
The Wetherill family became the earliest students of Mesa Verde. Their careful excavations and record-keeping helped preserve key information, leading to a deeper understanding of the people who built and occupied the cliff dwellings. As devout Quakers, they felt they were predestined to protect the historic sites from wanton destruction - a role that would not be assumed by the government or other institutions until years later. Based on decades of meticulous research, author Fred Blackburn sets the record straight on these early protectors of Mesa Verde.

What Canst Thou Say?

Toward A Quaker Theology

BY JANET SCOTT
Are Quakers Christian? Is it possible for Quakerism to be both Christian and Universalist? These are just two of the questions which form the starting point for this book. In exploring them, it becomes clear that they cannot be answered in isolation for they are linked to a whole complex of questions about Jesus, God and the nature of human living. So it becomes necessary to engage in theology. But for Quakers this must be from a distinctively Quaker standpoint which seeks to be both undogmatic and concerned with practical issues. Most of all it must be grounded in our corporate experience of God. Janet Scott attempts to begin this process.

What Is Gnosticism?

BY KAREN KING
King shows how historians have been misled by ancient Christian polemicists who attacked Gnostic beliefs as a "dark double" against which the new faith could define itself. Having identified past distortions, she is able to offer a new and clarifying definition of Gnosticism. Her book is thus both a thorough and innovative introduction to the twentieth-century study of Gnosticism and a revealing exploration of the concept of heresy as a tool in forming religious identity.

When Atheism Becomes Religion

America's New Fundamentalists

BY CHRIS HEDGES
Born from the author's debates with Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens, this book finds Hedges asserting that the so-called "new atheism" is as intolerant, chauvinistic, bigoted, anti-intellectual, and self-righteous as religious fundamentalism. In other words, a new form of an old and dangerous faith. "Liberal churches" don't get off much easier. All of these positions suffer from the same fallacy, that the human species can morally progress toward their version of utopia. Hedges considers this provocative and engaging book a call to face reality and his is surely an important voice in the debate on that state of faith is America.
