from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I love reading about explorers through the ages. I am particularly fond of Burton/ Speke/Livinston, etc. in Africa and the polar explorers. This is the first book I've read about South American exploration except for the usual conquest and gold explorers/exploiters. The book opened my eyes to two... more info

2.Born in Blood and Fire: A Concise History of Latin AmericaBorn in Blood and Fire: A Concise History of Latin America
from W. W. Norton & Company

Customer Review:
Though maybe a little to sympathetic to Castro, this is a great book on the history of Latin America. For people like me, who know very little about this area of the world, this book was a great help. Well written, well organized, and right to the point.
I recommend this for AP World History... more info

Very good book to read to learn what goes on in the head on Che. He shares his emotions and passion for life and everything that comes along with it.

Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
The story of an earlier resource bubble, one that had a longer run but crashed spectacularly anyway. It is also the story of conscious empire building, using natural rubber as a lever in an attempt to dominate world trade. The book follows the depressing career of a decidedly unlikely adventurer,... more info

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.
