Historia
In Mythologies Without End, Jerome Slater argues that US policies in the region are largely a product of mythologies that are often flatly wrong. For example, the Israelis' treatment of Palestinians after 1948 undermined its claim that it was a true democracy, and the argument that Arab states refused to negotiate with Israel for decades is simply untrue. Because of widespread acceptance of these myths in both the US and Israel, the consequences have been devastating to all of the involved parties.

Informative, but idealistically bias
Revisado: 04-08-25
There is a lot of information here that sheds a lot of much needed light on the conflict between Israel and the surrounding countries. The downside is that his arguments are bogged down by unrealistic ideals of how things could work, and over simplification of diplomatic situations. He also shows a certain bias against the Israeli government in the fact that he often dismisses their security concerns as well as distrust for those making the deals, and mentions them only as a foot note after making his case.

Historia
Science is a force for good in the world—at least usually. But sometimes, when obsession gets the better of scientists, they twist a noble pursuit into something sinister. Under this spell, knowledge isn’t everything, it’s the only thing—no matter the cost. Bestselling author Sam Kean tells the true story of what happens when unfettered ambition pushes otherwise rational men and women to cross the line in the name of science, trampling ethical boundaries and often committing crimes in the process.

Extremely Boring
Revisado: 03-28-25
The author seems incapable of distinguishing between relevant, and interesting details of the stories he is telling. He goes off on tangents about people’s lives, before and after the incidents, that are neither interesting nor related to the story being told. The padding of this book with pointless uninteresting details, not to mention moral debates with himself about the value of the science, seems greatly unnecessary. There have to be millions of untold horrors committed in the name of science to fill this book; so why resort to padding the book with worthless, boring, unrelated details?

Historia
Many nations define themselves in terms of territory or people; China defines itself in terms of history. Taking into account the country's unrivaled, voluminous tradition of history writing, John Keay has composed a vital and illuminating overview of the nation's complex and vivid past. Keay's authoritative history examines 5,000 years in China, from the time of the Three Dynasties through Chairman Mao and the current economic transformation of the country.

Less Factual than Philosophical
Revisado: 03-13-19
It begins with pointless metaphors, followed by philosophical debate over the true history of China versus the legend. It bounces back and forth between the legend and the facts so frequently that it becomes difficult to distinguish between the two. I had to force myself to listen to it, and ultimately gave up on it.
