    Despite the turmoil of Arab nationalism and fundamentalism, Middle Eastern wars, and oil crises, the history of the Arab world has been little known and poorly understood in the West. One reason may be that, for more than half a century, there has been no up-to-date single volume work that chronicles the story of Arab civilization - until now.

    Story

    Mr. Hourani, does the arab peoples a disservice by placing their origen at the 7th century. A rich and distant heritage should not be ignored. This book would be more aptly titled A History of the Islamic Faith. It is shallow and without the slightest color attributed to its cover. Mostly a long disertation on lineage of leadership. Difficult to get excited about.

    Dubbed "the American Tolkien" by Time magazine, number-one New York Times best-selling author George R. R. Martin is a giant in the field of fantasy literature and one of the most exciting storytellers of our time. Now he delivers a rare treat for listeners: a compendium of his shorter works, collected into two stunning volumes, that offers fascinating insight into his journey from young writer to award-winning master.

    Jeff says: "True and Accurate Anthology of an Author"
    "An unremarkable journey into science fiction."

    What would have made Dreamsongs (Unabridged Selections) better?

    If I would have expected less from such a large sellection it would have been better.


    What could George R. R. Martin have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    I am sure there is a reader out there unable to predict the outcome of almost every story.


    What didn’t you like about the narrators’s performance?

    I liked the Scott's accent. But no one was outstanding.


    What character would you cut from Dreamsongs (Unabridged Selections)?

    Lee Strobel became convinced that God was outmoded. Today science is supports the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. Darwinism has faltered in the face of facts and hard reason. Science definitely gives faith a boost as new findings emerge about the complexity of our universe. Strobel re-examines the theories that once led him away from God. You'll encounter discoveries from cosmology, DNA research, and human consciousness that present evidence in The Case for a Creator.

    Alan says: "Excellent Summary of Apologetics"
    "Incredibly challenging and thorough"

    Mr. Strobel has left no doubt shrouded rock unturned in presenting this argument. He researches this theory with a fine scientific examination of the facts and presents his ideas clearly. Very thought provoking and definitly worth the read over and over.
