The Ornament of the World
Menocal, Maria Rosa
Arrow $15 

A portrait by Yale historian, Maria Rosa Menocal, of the brilliant intellectual life in Spain from 750 - 1492 during a brief time of religious tolerance which produced Ibn Rushd’s commentary of Aristotle and Maimonides’ Guide for the Perplexed.  Told with an eye for an “illuminating anecdote” the book shows how “cultural brilliance” survived subsequent Muslim and Christian intolerance.

Iraq's Last Jews
Tamar Morad, Dennis Shasha, Robert Shasha
Arrow $25

Iraq’s Last Jews is a thoroughly researched, riveting account of the last generation of Iraqi Jews. The editors have identified some of the most remarkable stories about this community, and in doing so have brought to light the rich, sometimes sad, always interesting history of the oldest Jewish diaspora in the world. This book will be a great value to all who care about the history of the Middle East, Iraq in the twentieth century, and the saga of the last Jews of Arab lands.”
David Landau, former editor-in-chief, Ha’aretz
