| | MBR: Internet Bookwatch, March 2003 |
 | | A fascinating and highly recommended addition to Islamic studies reference shelves, Beyond Veil And Holy War is a particularly good resource for American readers to learn more about the core nature of Islam. | | | This history of the destruction of California's Indians covers a narrow time frame from 1850-1860, but documents a startling point in American history where Indians were slaughtered and hunted. | | | Meticulous, scholarly, and thoroughly "reader friendly", Ehud's Dagger is a welcome and highly recommended addition to English History and The History of Economics reference collections and supplemental reading lists. |

| | This isn't a criticism per se, just a clue that the historical question is not of primary interest to Gibson. | | | Jesus' death is presented more as a self-sacrifice than a murder. | | | Historically, Jesus movies have done a very bad job of this by caricaturing the Jews. |

| | A reference to the movie "The Defiant Ones" (1958) starring Poitier and Curtis as respectively one black and one white convict chained together, who escape custody and must deal not only with being on the run but also with the issues of racism and their mutual animosity towards one other. | | | Seeing as how Starbug is sinking, this is very possibly a reference to the sinking of the RMS Titanic in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 14-15, 1912, with the loss of over 1500 lives. | | | Smeg Ups and Smeg Outs are included, but only references from the actual out-takes instances, and which have not previously been mentioned. |

| | In accordance with the received tradition on the subject, Aristotle had represented the Locrian colony as founded by some Parthenidae or slaves' children, as they were called, a statement which seems to have roused the indignation of Timaeus, who went to a good deal of trouble to confute this theory. | | | But one of the great points which he uses against this Sicilian historian is in reference to the question of the origin of the Locrian colony. | | | Now, it cannot be accurately said of this philosopher that either his philosophy or his history is entirely and simply A PRIORI. |
