    In This Fleeting World, author David Christian attempts to cover world history in a mere 120 pages. David divides his book into three periods: the era of foragers, the agrarian era, and the modern era. Within these periods he describes the various lifestyles our ancestors lived in, the advancements achieved, and what ultimately brought upon the succeeding era. In essence, David Christian goal in writing his novel is to filter out the unnecessary jargon in world history and convey a more concise history of humanity (p. XVII).

    The True Believer Summary

    The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements by Eric Hoffer stands out in the social­-psychological literature because of it’s author’s notorious lack of formal education and for the conclusions he drew about social movements and their participants.

Hoffer’s book provides an historically-­backed assessment of, mostly western social movements but fails to include the largest possible scope and empirical evidence base.

    The poem "Annabel Lee", by Edgar Allan Poe, shows the speaker's way of coping with the death of his beloved, which is displayed as obsession towards her and his judgment of the holy as guilty.
