[Peace-discuss] reading together (other books I am TRYING to read at the moment)

[C. G. Estabrook]

Some recent things your list suggests:
/
Hopes and Prospects/, by Noam Chomsky (Haymarket 2010).  Much about LA, and 
about the ME.

/Galileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and Religion/, ed. Ronald L. 
Numbers (Harvard UP 2009).  AMAZON: Defining myth as just “a claim that is 
false,” editor Numbers and 24 other scholars debunk 25 falsehoods about science 
and religion. The most familiar—that the church imprisoned and tortured Galileo, 
that medieval Islam was hostile to science, that medieval Christians thought the 
earth was flat, that the church fought against anesthesia—have long been 
discredited, yet the briefs on them so admirably distill their history that 
Wikipedia should swipe them. Others—that the church suppressed science, 
prohibited dissection, and martyred Giordano Bruno for his scientific work—still 
have their propagandists...

On /News from Neptune/ (tonight at 7pm on ch. 6), David Green suggests/The 
Complex: How the Military Invades Our Everyday Lives/, by Nick Turse (American 
Empire Project 2008).
