from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $8.25

Customer Review:
I read many of the negative reviews, just to see what they were all about and yeah, it's a little irritating to read Mortenson's name over and over again but I really enjoyed this book. Plain and simple. You should read it because he does an amazing thing for people who are not only ignored and... more info

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.

from Vintage
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
There are works of fiction and nonfiction that transcend their genres. This is one of those works, one that should be required reading for high school students, or, at the very least, for college students, if it isn't already. The horror that was the A-bomb unleashed unbridled power over the city of... more info

5.Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern WorldGenghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
from Three Rivers Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
This is a superb history of Genghis Kahn and the Mongol Hords, without the European and Islamic biases that go with it. The Mongol conquerers and rulers come across as more competent and, dare I say it, more tolerant than the people they conquered, albeit part of the same milieu of conquering,... more info

I won this great book when I was 18 years old. Until today, after almost two decades, I can still remember the story very well. Every page in this book is so alive with senses!

"The Last Days of Old Beijing" is written by an American volunteer English teacher in an "old Town" Beijing elementary school.

from Da Capo Press
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
This an unbelievably well-written book that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and I couldn't help wondering what I would have done if I were thrust into a similar circumstance. Calling these guys the Greatest Generation is uttering an understatement.
