1.A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New WorldA Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World
from Henry Holt and Co.
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
This at least shows the fact that the origins of the USA's civilization is in the South. Spanish-speaking St. Augustine in Florida was the first European settlement, in 1565. The first-ever democratic elections in America were held in the Jamestown colony in 1607, etc. Because the North won the... more info

Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
This is a fascinating story on so many levels: a study of a family's dark secrets, brought to light by a determined detective; the unraveling of clues leading to the solving of a grisly murder; a study of Victorian society, mores, and family life; and a fascinating character study not only of the... more info

3.The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt s Darkest JourneyThe River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey
from Broadway
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
If the events in this book weren't so well documented I would have accused the author of making them up to increase the drama. I haven't been so engaged in a story in a long time.
An amazing story, extremely well excuted by the author.

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
Read this as a first edition hardback---my Amazon reviewing is a little behind, to say the least---outstanding book. The best book on L&C in print. Ambrose collaborated on a book with Nat'l Geo that is spectacular as well. OUTSTANDING from cover to cover.
If you read only one book on the... more info

5.1421: The Year China Discovered America (P.S.)1421: The Year China Discovered America (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
1421 is a highly intriguing (and certainly controversial) book which postulates a theory that the Chinese were not only the first to "discover" the New World but had; indeed, circumvented the globe well before Magellan's expedition. While the author, Gavin Menzies, makes many assumptions and, at... more info

6.The Journals of Lewis and Clark (Lewis and Clark Expedition)The Journals of Lewis and Clark (Lewis & Clark Expedition)
from Mariner Books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I am not an accomplished reader so it has to really hold my attention to finish a book. This book is written exactly from L&C's journals. Lots of mispelled words and some confusion. Sometimes hard to follow. Sometimes the minute details are a bit much. They don't really expound on things. I... more info

7.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:
An author such as Tony Horwitz is a rare find.
After reading his latest release (as of this review), "A Voyage Long and Strange", I had to backtrack to "Blue Latitudes". Glad I did.
Horwitz' slant to history is savvy with modern day adventure, wit and insight.
Following in the... more info

8.The Travels of Marco PoloThe Travels of Marco Polo
from Penguin Classics
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
A very remarkable book written in the 13th century. Many secrets were reviled when Marco returned. And may interesting explanations of things like the origin of cinnamon.
Marco writes well enough of his travels and you feel that you are there. You can actually follow the trail if you have a... more info

9.Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World: The Extraordinary True Story of Shackleton and the EnduranceShipwreck at the Bottom of the World: The Extraordinary True Story of Shackleton and the Endurance
from Crown Books for Young Readers
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
If you ever think your job is hard, or you feel like complaining about the traffic or the weather or that your Internet connection is slow, just stop. Stop and consider the ordeal and misery suffered by the 28 men on Ernest Shackleton's 1914-16 Antartic expedition.
Nothing will seem so bad... more info

from Mariner Books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Apollo 13 tells the story of the famous mission that told the world, that it "had a problem". Being interested in space, I picked this book up hoping for a quick read. The book does a fine job with the technical details and the back story of the mission, but it seemed to have trouble developing any... more info
