Excavating Jesus: Beneath the Stones, Behind the Texts: Revised and Updated
Jonathan L. Reed
HarperOne, 2002
Almost Perfect, but Be Careful of this One
This book, ironically, is filled with information that verifies the Bible as historical fact despite the authors' sneaky attempt to have Jesus appear as just a wise and controversial man (see page 228 where they claim the ressurrection was a myth.)
If you blacked ...

City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles
Mike Davis
Vintage, 1992
Not a book to be quickly written off
I'd just like to offer a voice of temperance after reading a number of the reviews here. The boogeyman mentions of Davis' "Marxist" leanings are worthy of the McCarthy hearings. The mock citations of the type "All the other books I read in the field are much better" ...

city of quartz , new edition
City of Quartz, the original version, is an excellent book on the history of Los Angeles until 1989, well readable, informative and incisive, a must-read even if some people take offense at views which are neither mainstream nor conservative.
When you finish the book ...

Usborne Lift and Look Diggers (Lift-and-Look Board Books)
Felicity Brooks
Usborne Books, 2005
Great book for little boy into trucks!
I gave this to my 2-year-old for his 2nd birthday and he loves it, but then again he loves anything having to do with trucks. The lift-the-flap features are fun, and enjoys trying to find the puppy on each page. Cute book.

my son loves it
My 1 1/2 year old loves this book. He really likes the simple text and the bright colors of the illustrations. The binding of the book has not held up well. We have it all taped up, but that doesn't bother him!
