1302 Book Analysis Book List
By Subject Area
I update this list regularly, so check it just
before you get ready to start your Book Analysis assignment.
These books are representative but certainly not exhaustive,
of the period and topics covered in History 2.
These books have been chosen because
they fulfill one or more of the
following criteria:
1. the book is considered
a classic in its subject area;
2. students in the past
have enjoyed the book and recommended it to others;
3. the book is suitable
for the assignment; that is, it’ll enable you to thoughtfully & thoroughly
answer the Book Analysis Assignment questions;
4. the book is
thought-provoking; that is, it might be controversial in some respect, but in
its controversy, it provokes thoughtful consideration;
5. the book is of high
academic quality; that is, it is well-researched, well-documented, and
well-written;
6. the book is on a
subject matter that may not be covered in-depth in your textbook, and so, it
gives you an opportunity to learn more about a particular
subject;
7. most of the books are
available locally - in and around
If you see a book you like, go to the website of a
major bookseller like Amazon.com to see what the book is about – see if the
book’s content appeals to you. If so, then try to find a copy available in a
local library. If you prefer to purchase
the book, try a local used bookseller, such as Half-Price
