1.		The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science from Pantheon Price: $23.02 Customer Review: This is a sort of appetizer for anyone interested in the cultural context of 19th century science. There are some howlers in the notes (for instance, the Doppler shift was *not* used to determine the distance between the Milky Way & the Andromeda Galaxy), so I wonder who was Holmes' scientific... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		The Enlightened Bracketologist: The Final Four of Everything from Bloomsbury USA Price: $3.88 Customer Review: A fun way to select the best of a variety of topics.

3.		Battle (DK Eyewitness Books) from DK CHILDREN Price: $9.93 Customer Review: As with all the eyewitness books its a great factual book for children to learn.

4.		Footsteps: Adventures of a Romantic Biographer from Vintage Price: $9.74 Customer Review: I thoroughly enjoyed Holmes's narrative detailing his efforts to trace journeys of some of his biographical subjects in Europe. Much has been written on the art and craft of biography, but Holmes presents biographical research as a physical undertaking and, at times, an adventure. His efforts to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience from Tate Publishing Price: $9.80 Customer Review: Enjoyed the content, but the book appears to have been cheaply printed.

7.		The World at War: The Landmark Oral History from the Previously Unpublished Archives from Ebury Press Price: $15.19 Customer Review: Holmes does a fine job compiling interviews from most of the World At War personalities that appeared on the TV Series.

9.		Sahib: The British Soldier in India 1750-1914 from HarperCollins UK Price: $11.64 Customer Review: "Sahib" The British Soldier in India by Richard Holmes is a "microscopic view" of British incursion into India from 1750 to 1914. This book will give you two years worth of college courses in British military history and tactics condensed in some 506 pages of print. There is such a great deal of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
