Select a book about history relating to the period between approximately 3500 B.C. and A.D.<\/span>
1600. Be careful not to choose a novel; a novel is a work of fiction. This assignment calls for the reading<\/span>
of an historical work of non-fiction. Once you have selected your book, please send me, via e-mail, the<\/span>
book\u2019s title and the author\u2019s name for approval (or simply bring the book with you to class for approval).<\/span>
The deadline for making your book selection is Sunday, February 18<\/span>th<\/span>.<\/span>
All book reviews must be done on a word processor, be double-spaced (using Times New<\/span>
Roman, 12 pt. font) and strictly adhere to length requirements – 5 to 7 pages in length (no more, no less).<\/span>
DO NOT put extra spaces between paragraphs. There is to be a one-inch margin on all sides (meaning<\/span>
top, bottom, & both sides). Notes should be parenthetical or line notes, as the following example from<\/span>
Friedreich Nietzsche\u2019s The Genealogy of Morals illustrates:<\/span>
Nietzsche believed that \u201cthe priestly system of valuations\u201d too easily branched off from<\/span>
the aristocratic and developed into its antithesis. (591) – notice that following the punctuation (period),<\/span>
there is a space, followed by the page number(s) in brackets. Be careful about overusing quotations – this<\/span>
is your review – only use a few carefully selected words, phrases, or sentences which best impart the<\/span>
essence of what the author is trying to say.<\/span>
Grammar, punctuation and spelling should be correct and follow standard usage. You are<\/span>
strongly urged to purchase and consult a \u201cStyle Guide;\u201d the most widely used seems to be Kate L.<\/span>
Turabian\u2019s A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations. One should always have a<\/span>
good dictionary and thesaurus handy as well; most word processing programs have them built-in.<\/span>
Bibliographical information for your book should be located at the top of page one (just below your<\/span>
name) and be<\/span> <\/span>single-spaced<\/span> <\/span>and include the book’s full title (underlined), author’s full name, place of<\/span>
publication, publisher, and year of publication (note: the bibliographic entry is the only part of the review<\/span>
where you should use single-spacing; the rest of your paper should be double-spaced). An example of a<\/span>
standard bibliographic entry appears as follows:<\/span>
The Presidency of George Washington, by Forest McDonald. Lawrence: University of Kansas Press,<\/span>
1974.<\/span><\/p>\n
