from Broadview Press
Price: $15.95

Customer Review:
While not written yesterday, this classical treatise on politics and society is still as relevant today as it has always been. Required reading on Political Science degree courses the World over, it is almost unthinkable that any serious (or even casual) student of the field would deprive themselves... more info

2.Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone BeforeBlue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before
from Picador
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

In my research for Wai-nani, High Chiefess of Hawaii, I read a dozen accounts of Captain James Cook's deadly encounter with the natives of Hawaii in 1779. This included not only the Captains' journal, but that of seaman, John Ledyard, and that of first mate, Lt. King. When Tony Horwitz... more info

3.The Thirty Years War (New York Review Books Classics)The Thirty Years War (New York Review Books Classics)
from NYRB Classics
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Wedgewood's history was written in 1938, when the German states were "reunified" under under Nazi rule into the "Third Reich", so she approaches the question of the 30-year civil war of the "First Reich", or Holy Roman Empire, from this perspective. She refers to the monument still standing on the... more info

from Tantor Media, Inc.
Price: $25.99

Customer Review:
Richard Zacks amazing research on a 2 century old myth was fascinating. I found some parts of it difficult to read because of the many trials, tribulations, and misfortunes that plagued Captain Kidd. The sections on the Pirate Robert Cuilford were equally fascinating.
I was surprised and... more info

5.Vermeer s Hat: The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global WorldVermeer's Hat: The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global World
from Bloomsbury Press
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
This is a very entertaining book, which oddly enough has very little to do with Vermeer and if you are trying to comprehend a certain transcendental quality in Vermeer's love of light and silence, you will find nothing here. The author uses some of the items in Vermeer's paintings as jumping off... more info

6.Two Treatises of GovernmentTwo Treatises of Government
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $11.69

Customer Review:
J.L's theories of government and rights gave inspiration to the notion that people are "equal" which is a meaningless concept, but inspires in the same way that a flag may inspire. If the notion is taken too far, it becomes dagerous. Spinoza's concept of rights in his brief work on politics and... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
I give the author 2 stars for taking on an interesting topic and having done exhaustive research in a difficult area (very few documented narratives, and many of those destroyed at sea or over time). After getting through half the book, I skipped to the later parts and put it away. It is a linear... more info

from Vintage
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Leon Trotsky in his classic three-volume History of the Russian Revolution spent some time describing the small unresolved contradictions of everyday life that had accrued in pre-1917 Russia and that formed the underlying premises for that huge social explosion. Trotsky, using classic Marxist... more info

from Three Rivers Press
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
This was a very well researched story about history's bloodiest mutiny. I found the most interesting parts of the book were the details of life on board a Dutch spice trading ship in the early 1600's. The story of the shipwreck & the life of terror that followed for the survivors was also well... more info
