7.The Last Days of the IncasThe Last Days of the Incas
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
The Last Days of the Incas is by far the most interesting history/non fiction book I have ever read. It reads much like a novel, brining the history of the Spanish conquest of Peru into vivid clarity and making the book extremely hard to put down. If you have an interest in the history of Peru, or... more info

8.[no image]Modern Latin America
from Oxford University Press, USA

Customer Review:
In my college going career, I have never crossed a book written by someone that is clearly so knowledgeable... unfortunately, the author is also so incredibly boring that I can't believe that they've read their own book. This one is a snoozer and I struggle to get through it.

Isabel Allende writes about the relationships of women to their men and their children also including womens' related emotions. She wraps this book around how we live and come to accept death.

from Doubleday
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
This was an interesting true story about Percy Fawcett, an explorer in search of a Lost City in the Amazon. It offered a great history of how parts of the world were mapped and the herculean efforts that took to find them. I especially enjoyed learning about the rivalry between explorers and the... more info

Customer Review:
This book is an interesting examination of the psychological process by which humans, pressed to the absolute limits of endurance, may reach decisions and conclusions that cannot even be fathomed within the day-to-day lives of most people in modern society.
Like the Donner party and the sailors... more info

Really good collection of a variety of excerpts from some interesting books. A lot of good poetry too; like Osman Morote's "A Frightening Thirst for Violence":

16.Short Account of the Destruction of the IndiesShort Account of the Destruction of the Indies
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
This first person account of the aftermath of Columbus and the Spanish is an important read from the time period. When so much has been misleading about the time period, at least form a public school textbook view, I found this book a necessary view of reality. Granted, the author completely agreed... more info
