I am pleased to announce that my 2009-2010 essay series is now partially available, exclusively through amazon.com’s Kindle digital reading device, which can now be downloaded as a free PC application.

The following essays are currently available from amazon.com:

The Development of Government and Religion in the State of Israel (2009)

I have been working on this series of essays, which covers a range of areas in of the humanities (history, philosophy and law) and the social sciences (linguistics, archaeology and political science) for the last few years and I am quite excited to have finally finished several of them. I would like to thank those who have already read and commented on the essays as well as those who will do so in the future. I would like to especially thank Alexandro Angelbello, the talented artist who designed the cover images for these essays.
