find two scholarly book reviews for each of your books and use the reviews to evaluate the book. The book reviews should come from academic journals. Then use your evaluation to write a 1-2 page page explaining if the book is an authoritative source.

Your evaluations should address the following questions:

What do the book review authors think of the book?

Do the book review authors agree on the book?

If they disagree, what do the book review authors disagree on?

What do the book review authors praise about the book (these can be different)?

What criticisms of the book do the book review authors make of the book?

As you conduct your evaluation on the book reviews themselves, you should also take a moment to find out more about the book author and the book review authors. This does not need to be extensive, but you should try to answer some of the following questions.

Do the book review authors hold an academic position? If so, where?

Where was the book review published?

Does the book author hold an academic position? If so, where?

Has the author written any other works?

Who published the book?

Is the Publisher a legitimate publisher?

What is your book about?

The purpose of answering all these questions is to answer the ultimate question:

Is this a scholarly and authoritative source?

Papers should be formatted around a thesis statement (aka, an argument)
You also MUST include citations and a bibliography.
