1.		The War That Killed Achilles: The True Story of Homer's Iliad and the Trojan War from Viking Adult Price: $13.90 Customer Review: The Iliad's Trojan War has always been portrayed as a war unlike any other war. A war full of opportunities for glory, bravery, loyalty, a personal fulfillment of destiny... But Caroline Alexander, with deft scholarship, shows that there has been a misreading of the Iliad, purposefully, that in the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition from Knopf Price: $7.44 Customer Review: Explorer Ernest Shackleton didn't know when he named his boat "The Endurance" that he would be foreshadowing a survival experience for the ages.

4.		The Worst Journey in the World (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.37 Customer Review: Having enjoyed books on the subject of Shackleton's attempt at the South Pole, a friend suggested I check out this book concerning Scott's journey.

5.		The Bounty: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $4.44 Customer Review: Like many today, the only knowledge I had of the mutiny on the Bounty had come in bits and pieces from popular culture. I was well aware of the portrait of Bligh as a tyrannical madman forcing his subordinates to his will. However, is that characterization correct? If not, then why would his men... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The Skillful Leader: Confronting Mediocre Teaching from Ready About Press Price: $50.00 Customer Review: The book itself is very good. The book is in high demand so you better get your copy as early as possible as you will encounter price inflation due to the lack of availability of the book. Even Amazon got into the rip off game and charged about 50% over the list price.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Empty Shoes: Poems on the Hungry and the Homeless from CreateSpace Price: $18.95 Customer Review: For those who may have passed by the homeless in the cities and towns and have wondered just how to take them: over eighty poets who have had connections to the poor or the homeless in some way or another, give their best! They share many of the same questions, compassion and conumdrums, concerning... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Sticker Art Shapes: Alexander Calder from Frances Lincoln Children's Books Price: $4.53 Customer Review: I bought this book because I was creating an Alexander Calder themed nursery around art that was already in my house. I intended to use the stickers in this book as wall stickers to compliment the other generic circles purchased in other places. Well, don't do that. Or don't do it unless you're... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
