Where Have All the Soldiers Gone? The Transformation of Modern Europe
by James Sheehan

Artillery of Heaven: American Missionaries and the Failed Conversion of the Middle East

Starved for Science: How Biotechnology Is Being Kept Out of Africa
by Robert Paarlberg
"In this sharply argued book, Paarlberg suggests that African farmers are the victims of an antiscience bias in both their governments and the international community. . . . Carefully argued and grounded in a rich understanding of African agriculture, this no doubt controversial book deserves to be widely read." —Nicolas Van de Walle
