from Harper
Price: $16.77

Customer Review:

Having long been an admirer of Joseph Needham, and having read some of his magnificent work "Science and Civilisation in China", I was looking forward to this biography of Needham. I knew little of Needham's wartime introduction to China and was eager to learn more, but I especially wanted to know... more info

How the States Got Their Shapes
from Collins
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:

Georgia has been undergoing a severe drought for several years now, particularly in the Atlanta area: as with Las Vegas, they are running out of water for lawns, fountains, golf courses, etc. So the governor had a well-publicized and very public prayer for rain. This review is not the place to... more info

Customer Review:

"Olympics that Changed The World." Huh?
Once again ... "Olympics That Changed The World." What the?

An excellent book which traces the history of the very rare wine market and explains how its excesses led to the Rodenstock-Koch-Broadbent fiasco. The author deftly explores both the business issues and the psychology of the rare wine world, and shows little mercy for the "experts" who were taken in... more info

Customer Review:

This book delves into the kind of information that could help us avoid making the same mistakes over and over. If it can help create awareness of how susceptible the public is to being flim-flammed by the Oil Industry experts and its sycophants imbedded throughout the government and media we could... more info

from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:

Amazing book. I am 63 years old and wish I'd been interested in american history sooner. I spent most of my life blindly believing the history of school textbooks. Howard Zinn blows the lid off of most of what I had accepted as gospel. This book certainly opened my eyes to what went on behind the... more info

Price: $19.77

Customer Review:

Slavery By Another Name is a must read for every African American in search of answers about their past. It is a well reaserched book that answers a lot of questions about the seeming inability of African Americans to progress in this wealthy society. It is an important and eye opening work.

Generation Kill
from Berkley Trade
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:

Generation Kill is outstanding. Rather than a political diatribe, which most books on the Iraq War tend to be, Evan Wright has fashioned this book into a fast-paced, detailed, and moving portrait of the men who fight and die in this war. It's one of the best combat memoirs I've yet read.
