1.The Ghost Map: The Story of London s Most Terrifying Epidemic--And How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern WorldThe Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--And How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World
from Tantor Media
Price: $53.19

Customer Review:
Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. This book immediately grabs you and dumps you into the wretchedness and filth that is London in 1854. Before this book, I couldn't have told you what cholera was or how it is prevented/cured, but now I can. My only complaint is that the photo/graphic of the... more info

2.In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship EssexIn the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex
from Viking Adult

Customer Review:
This is one of those books that, as you read it you say to yourself "why didn't I know about this before, and why don't people talk about it more?" One of my favorite books ever.

3.[no image]Waking Giant: America in the Age of Jackson
from Tantor Media
Price: $25.07

Customer Review:
Reynolds history resuscitates Jackson's reputation and places his presidency in the political, cultural, and religious context of the "Age of Jackson" (roughly 1820 to 1850). As with all histories that cover a specific time scope, the selection is somewhat artificial, but Reynolds' account does a... more info

4.On Liberty (Broadview Literary Texts)On Liberty (Broadview Literary Texts)
from Broadview Press
Price: $10.95

Customer Review:
In the Introduction to "On Liberty," Currin Shields, an English egghead, bemoans the fact that Mill's most "famous" essay is "more talked about than read."
I'm surprised it is even talked about, and I am very much NOT surprised that hardly anyone reads it. Mill takes about a hundred and twenty... more info

from Viking Adult
Price: $18.45

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

from Dover Publications
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
I highly recommend this book, particularly as a companion to "The Devil in the White City." The only minor problem I had with it was the lack of photos for all of the state and national buildings.
