| THE GREAT TERROR WAR by Richard Falk The Great Terror War provides an examination of the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 linking them to the breadth of more traditional forms of terrorism. This book differentiates between terror rooted in unresolved conflicts or unfinished national projects (such as the Basque or Kashmiri movements), and the apocalyptic underpinnings of the September 11th attacks. The author discusses the use of weapons of mass destruction, genocidal intent, and suicidal warriors.

| CIVILIZATIONS by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto Based on the premise that civilizations are the product of their environment the author looks at cultures of the desert, the tundra and ice, then to the civilizations of alluvial flood plains, the highlands, maritime civilizations, and finally civilizations of travel, migration and expansion. This is a work of massive cross referencing, the effect is to suggest that civilization can happen anywhere, that no one environment is uniquely conducive, or that no one race or people are more productive than another.

| WOMEN AT WAR: VOICES FROM THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by Consulting Editor Nigel Fountain Women at War examines the enormously important part that women played in the major wars of the twentieth century.
