Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America (America a Cultural History, Vol 1) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $124.95 Customer Review: A fascinating history of the United States and the influence of cultural certainties.

4.		Washington's Crossing (Pivotal Moments in American History) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $12.01 Customer Review: Fischer provides us with that rarest of commodities, an even-handed treatment of history.

6.		The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.78 Customer Review: Well written and detailed analysis of a recurring pattern the author has identified across the last 6 centuries.

Bound Away: Virginia and the Westward Movement from University Press of Virginia Customer Review: This very interesting book takes an in-depth look at Virginia history and how migration from Virginia affected the states west of Virginia.

8.		Liberty and Freedom: A Visual History of America's Founding Ideas (America: a Cultural History) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $7.62 Customer Review: If it weren't so massive, this might be a decent beach read.

Organized into thematic "episodes"... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
