History of Indian Science
This is an interesting and accessible history, although by my lights it has a couple of problems for the general reader. As someone who has no prior knowledge of Jordianian history, I found certain sections hard to follow because the author dealt more with his analysis of the causes and significance of certain events (for example the 1967 war) than the events themselves. I feel like this book would be more valuable with someone who already has a basic understanding of the history of the region, as much of this seems assumed. Acceptable for a complete beginner (like myself), but not ideal. I kept finding myself wanting more description of the events, less analysis.
