This book is not for beginners. If you only want to know what the Quran says and what its teachings are, look elsewhere (and not the least in the Quran itself ...). But for those, who already have some ideas about the content of the Quran, Cook's book is essential reading: It will tell you neatly what the problems are in interpreting the Quran; what its role in daily Muslim life was and still is; what impact it has had as a sacred Scripture down the centuries. And yes, it does demand some attention from the reader, and it is not the classical book to be read in the tube, so the book's designation as "Introduction" comes with a grain of salt. But things are not easy, and it is much to the credit to the author that he doesn't shun difficult and long-winding ... Read More:

I found this book rather bizarre. It features recipes for fried eggs (ingredients eggs and oil), rice (ingredients rice and water), mashed potatoes etc... Apparently in Thailand children eat rice for breakfast, lunch and tea and in Ireland they eat plates of potatoes - just potatoes. Considering all the hundreds of possible recipes which come from these countries the author has summed up their cuisine a little too simply and done a great disservice to both the countries and to anyone who buys this book and thinks that is really all that is eaten. It made me question the rest of the information in the book which may have been correct. It does contain some nice little recipes but take the generalisations with a pinch of salt.

John H. Arnold called this "the first really important book of the twentieth-first century". Granta Books must have loved that!

Hyperbole aside, this is an impressive overview of human history - by far the best I've read in this field (and I seem to have been averaging at least one a year for the past decade). Cook is professor of Near East Studies at Princeton. His overview is different from other similar works in that he explains in beautifully clear prose how physical geography plays a part in the development of civilisations.

Cook's descriptions of the Mediterranean and Chinese civilisations are carefully married to illustrations of the seas, peninsulas, deserts, mountains, rivers and climatic phenomena that played a part in the ... Read More:

Books : Flight Dynamics Principles
Did you find Cook on the cover of this Cookbook? It's that little face in the cabin!

No, seriously, I think this book is the most simple introduction into such a complicated subject as flight dynamics. The book does not cover everything that you'd find in more serious ones, but if you just need to go through the basics with your design - like, where equations of motion come from, how to linearize them and calculate eigenmovements - it's really the best (easiest and detailed) explanation on the market.
