'Marriage, Money and Divorce in Medieval Islamic Society' by Yossef Rapaport.
Free -and very readable-pdf. Three out of ten marriages in fifteenth-century Cairo ended in divorce-higher that modern times. Nusaybah would have loved this one.
Read and download here.
Jan Morris' 'The Venetian Empire: A Sea Voyage.'
God, I love Jan Morris even more than I love Ex Urbe. The Venetian Empire's always fascinating and this book pairs lyrical and thought-provoking travel writing with some serious history. It's also worth checking out her travel book about the fictional city-state of Hav.
Used copies 1p on amazon here, or you can read exercpts from the book as well.
