Book Analysis - List of Approved Books

Dr. T. Thomas

Austin Community College

 

I update this list regularly, so check it just before you get ready to start your Book Analysis assignment.

The list is divided by subject.  Subject headings are in alphabetical order.

 

These books are representative but certainly not exhaustive, of the period and topics covered in History 1.  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 Austin - at the ACC libraries, or at one of the other college/university libraries.

 

If you see a book you like, 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 Books.

 

Below are links to local academic libraries, where you should be able to find most of the books.  If you want to get borrowing privileges at UT or Texas State, go to any ACC librarian and ask for a “Tex Share” card.  Then take the card to the UT or Texas State library - show them the Tex Share card and they’ll give you a one-semester card for their library.
