1.		Being and Nothingness: An Essay on Phenomenological Ontology (Routledge Classics) from Routledge Price: £11.89 Customer Review: I would recommend this "existentialism Bible" to only two types of believer- a)the serious philosophy student who has to read it because their tutor said so b)prisoners of war or similar, as a method of torture. This is tedium incarnate. What Jean-Paul does is spend 650 cursed pages... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Re-thinking History (Routledge Classics) from Routledge Price: £8.54 Customer Review: I am interested by this book, because it has had its impact on the way history is taught. But now - sixteen years after it was first published - it is a pinnacle of everything wrong about historical theory in the modern world. There as some things which are just plain patronising about it, like the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

The Art of Art History: A Critical Anthology (Oxford History of Art) from Oxford Paperbacks Price: £11.04 Customer Review: The New Oxford History of Art represents the first massive effort to rethink this field in detail since Nikolaus Pevsner launched the Pelican History fifty years ago.

6.		The Fall of the Roman Republic (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £9.09 Customer Review: Plutarch's 6 biographies of Roman politicians/generals give a fair picture of a decadent Rome in the 1st century B.C.: mighty unequal distribution of wealth and `legal safeguards inadequate to deter the forces of law and order from murder.' `Since the whole state was rotten within itself, it was in... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference (Princeton Studies in Culture / Power / History) from Princeton University Press Price: £10.93 Customer Review: Chakrabarty manages to unite quite elegantly several old and new essays into a meaningful and directed book.

10.		Pride and Perjury from Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd. Price: £7.69 Customer Review: This is a terrifying account of how the great British press can behave. It appears that, if they don't like someone, there is no limit to what they will do to destroy them. And they did not like Jonathon Aitken - rightly or wrongly they accused him of about the worse crimes possible, and then spent... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
