Each of the topics will have a space devoted to discussion. I'll try to stay out of them but will respond to questions as they come up. Feel free to add comments below about anything: finding sources (and perhaps sharing them), helping others find book reviews you've encountered, and meeting others to talk about your topic. Again, this isn't a zero-sum game: the better the papers are as a whole the higher the average grade for the course will be. It's all yours:
1. "The career of the prophet Muhammad can only be understood as a response to the social and economic transformation of Mecca caused by changing patterns of world trade." Comment.
Crone, P., Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam (Princeton, 1987).
Shaban, M. A., Islamic History: a New Interpretation, vol. 1 (London, 1971).
Watt, W. M., Muhammad at Mecca. (Oxford, 1953).
Watt., W. M., Muhammad at Medina. (Oxford, 1956).

The latter three of the four sources don't link.
