In the wake
of the still-unthinkable disasters of September 11, Amazon.com
customers have been seeking information and understanding, a
search reflected in our bestseller lists. Among the bestsellers is
Germs: Biological
Weapons and America's Secret War, by Judith
Miller, Stephen Engelberg, and William Broad of The New
York Times, about the past and possible future of
biological warfare.
Hubbert's Peak: The
Impending World Oil Shortage, by Kenneth
Deffeyes, takes its title from the geologist who predicted the
1971 peak of U.S. oil production; Deffeyes forecasts big
trouble within five years. Conservative Samuel Huntington gives
a controversial (and influential) assessment of where the West
stands in
The Clash of
Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order.
Karen Armstrong tries to put fundamentalism in perspective with
Islam: A Short
History.
