1.	[no image]	Lonely Planet India from Lonely Planet Customer Review: the Lonely Planet guide to India is THE guide. Going to India with the Lonely Planet changed my life. It also tells you to leave the guide behind and follow your intuition. I did. The result was my new book, on how to travel with your intuition and change your life.

2.		Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities from Appleton & Lange Price: $65.64 Customer Review: This book is great for just about every other issue under the sun.

4.		Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics: The Anatomic Approach from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Customer Review: A safety net for anyone performing orthopaedic procedures weather a trainee or a specialist. Great detail and points out nicely potential pitfalls in a much better and more effective way than similar books. Very expensive but money well spent	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Conquest: Cortes, Montezuma, and the Fall of Old Mexico from Simon & Schuster Price: $16.50 Customer Review: Interminable account overstuffed with unreadable people and place names but short on maps and pictures seems to take as long to read as it took Cortes to conquer. The weighty writing never conveys the majesty and mystery of the historical events described. Still the author's conclusion of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The SLAVE TRADE: THE STORY OF THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE: 1440 - 1870 from Simon & Schuster Price: $16.50 Customer Review: I just started this book, but what struck me is the authors obvious moral repulsion of slavery. He states this in the Introduction, but he repeats it so much that you begin to think you're reading about morality instead of history.

7.		The Monk (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $23.00 Customer Review: I didn't get the horror aspect of this novel, because I was not horrified by the tale. But it is really enjoyable to read. I couldn't put it down. The writing is almost like poetry. The tale is engrossing. Everything comes together. Others provide a more descriptive review, so I won't.

8.		The Spanish Civil War: Revised Edition (Modern Library Paperbacks) from Modern Library Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Hugh Thomas's book is a great source, but I found it a difficult read. If you need more information on various characters, this book is for you. If you want to get a greater understanding of the events and timeline, do NOT make this your first choice. He does an excellent job tracking the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		The History of England (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $12.75 Customer Review: This is perhaps the best book I have ever read. It is the story of William of Oranage and James II. The descriptions of James's clash with the Bishops is purely Shakesperian, the description of La Hogue is fantastic. The history and historiography is well-analysed elsewhere, but surprise for... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Rivers of Gold: The Rise of the Spanish Empire, from Columbus to Magellan from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $12.21 Customer Review: "Rivers of Gold" attempts to narrate the rise of Spain from a minor European power to the leading empire of the 16th century. It's an interesting subject but Hugh Thomas fails to give to live up to the topic. Be warned. If you're looking for an account of explorers and discoveries, look... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
