The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon (Vintage Departures)
from Vintage
Price: $10.76

Customer Review:

For a lover of history, of the wilds, of the jungle, this book is wonderful. It is very readable and the author seizes you in his grip from the first chapter. My stomach churned with descriptions of maggots, eye-licking bees, and flesh eating infections. My mind raced with possibilities. My heart... more info

Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City
from Metropolitan Books
Price: $14.68

Customer Review:

An amazing tale of epic misadventure, megalomaniacal narcissism and imperialistic hubris--- recounted in the dullest possible way. The book isn't a total yawn, but I wish the writing elicited more of the story's depth and pathos. Exhaustively researched, though...

The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey
from Anchor
Price: $8.69

Customer Review:

As children are wont to do, I, as a young voracious reader, had my heroes ranging from sports figures to Wyatt Earp to various Presidents of the United States. Among those elite people was the ever complex and fascinating Theodore Roosevelt, a man whose accomplishments politically and personally... more info

Tristes Tropiques
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.84

Customer Review:

While I have little to say about the anthropological veracity of this seminal text, I am capable of recognizing its vast aesthetic and intellectual beauty. Levi-Strauss places himself (or inserts himself), in a number of so called 'savage' tribes in Brazil- the Caduveo, Bororo, Nambikwara, and... more info

Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World's Greatest Outlaw
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:

This book started out slow for me considering the force that was Black Hawk Down. However, after the first 20 pages you can't put it down. Riveting, the writing just demands your attention. I mean, I skipped reading both my NY Times and Wallstreet Journals for 3-days to read this book. By the way,... more info

The Last Days of the Incas
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $9.82

Customer Review:

When I saw this title I wondered why anyone would attempt a book that would compete with John Hemming's "Conquest of the Inca". I then realized "Conquest" is more than 50 years old. MacQuarrie's research is astonishingly complete with what must have been months if not years of 'feet on the ground'... more info

Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
from WallBuilder Press
Price: $6.00

Customer Review:

I heard about this book by a speaker who is a member of the "Wall Builders" on 'In Touch Ministries." We purchased this for ourselves and one for each of our young grandsons. We feel that it is important for them, for all of us actually, to know who these signers were and about the personal costs of... more info

Hunting Eichmann: How a Band of Survivors and a Young Spy Agency Chased Down the World's Most Notorious Nazi
from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Price: $15.60

Customer Review:

"Hunting Eichmann" is a masterful piece of work by author Neal Bascomb. He sets the stage perfectly by giving his readers an introduction to Adolph Eichmann and his role in the war, especially as it relates to Eichmann's role as efficient bureaucrat (or, as others have termed it, 'desk murderer') in... more info
