| | 1. |  | Remarkable Trees of the World
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
His abiding love of trees is evident in this deeply personal account of trees he's found and ...respected enough to photograph, research and write about. I bought this because we already had "Meetings with Remarkable Trees" and we were in no way disappointed. The photos are excellent, the trees... more info

| | 2. | [no image] | Scramble for Africa
from Imprint unknown
Customer Review:
Mr. Pakenham's literary muse must tell him that anything worth doing is worth overdoing. This opus covers imperialistic activities of the western world in Africa from 1876 to 1912. It would have been excruciatingly dull if Pakenham had taken a strictly chronological, or nation-by-nation, or... more info

| | 4. |  | Meetings with Remarkable Trees
from Random House
Price: $17.16
Customer Review:
A perfect blend of photography and insighful writing on some of the most charismatic trees in the British Isles and Ireland.
Thank you Thomas for re-acquainting me with some life-time companions I had lost touch with (as I now live outside the UK), and the chance to discover some new ones when... more info

| | 6. |  | The Remarkable Baobab
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
And I love them, too. Pakenham delivers ... wonderful photographic portraits of many baobabs combines with 'tree tales' ... his experiences, the legends, the uses- and abuses- of the "upside down tree", etc. If you love trees, you'll love this book (and, by the way, I have two others of his books,... more info

| | 8. |  | Wellington
from The History Press
Price: $11.66
Customer Review:
This is an absurdly abridged edition of Elizabeth Lonford's magnificent biography of the Iron Duke. The 1,400 pages of the original two volumes have been abridged to one tenth of their original length. The result is a book that maybe could be useful for children in elementary school. I own a... more info

| | 10. | [no image] | Essence of the Thing
from Carroll Graf Publishers
Customer Review:
It can only have been a very, very slow year in the offices of the Booker Prize in 1997. There's no other way to explain why this preternaturally dull and astonishingly constipated novel could have wound up on the Booker short list or on any list, for that matter -- save, perhaps, for the list... more info
