1.A History of Britain : At the Edge of the World, 3500 B.C.-1603 A.DA History of Britain : At the Edge of the World, 3500 B.C.-1603 A.D
Price: $22.94

Customer Review:
This is a well-written, well-researched book. It succeeds in avoiding the trap that many historians fall into of mistaking a neutral tone with a boring one; the author frequently injects a note of wry humor by a turn of phrase that will catch the reader somewhat off-guard: "But although the poets... more info

from Ecco
Price: $6.85

Customer Review:
This is an interesting and important book that hits topics of war, religion, race, and immigration to bring us up the present (election of 2008). These are fascintaing topics that are well covered - Schama plainly knows his stuff.
It was not clear to me though really what the central arguments... more info

3.Landscape And MemoryLandscape And Memory
from Vintage
Price: $16.36

Customer Review:
You can keep coming back to this brilliant, reflective book. It's a real work of art in itself, not simply history. How does nature become a cultural phenomenon? There are so many angles and Schama cleverly crafts them around the themes of wood, water and rock. From Classical times through to the... more info

4.Rough Crossings: The Slaves, the British, and the American RevolutionRough Crossings: The Slaves, the British, and the American Revolution
from Harper Perennial
Price: $3.99

Customer Review:
This is a jam packed book of historical drama that often goes unnoticed by the majority of history surveys. It should be required reading in American history classes as it connects the slave population to the Britain and sheds some light on the appearance of the patriots as enslaved people enslaving... more info

5.History of Britain : The Fate of Empire 1776 - 2000History of Britain : The Fate of Empire 1776 - 2000
from McClelland&Stewart
Price: $99.98

Customer Review:
There's history read mostly for entertainment. And then there's history that's not escapist at all, that brings to mind the struggles of the day. This is history definitely in the latter category.
The subject of the book may be British imperial history, especially in Ireland and India, but the... more info

from Miramax
Price: $14.99

Customer Review:
Even more than its predecessor, this is a fine companion to the tv series of the same name. Partly that's because Schama isn't trying to do 4,600 years of history in one volume. And, besides constricting the time covered, Schama largely restricts the book to one theme: the notion of how the civil... more info

from Vintage
Price: $13.88

Customer Review:
This book is execellent but it is definately not light reading. It offers a deep, profound anlyses but it also requires the reader to have at least some preliminary knowledge of the covered period and art process in general.

from Vintage
Price: $13.73

Customer Review:
This is one of the best written works of historical fiction that I've run across. Simon Schama captures the spirit of the French Revolution so well that I found myself dreaming that I was part of it all, complete with vivid colors and other treats for the senses! He weaves together very well the... more info

from Ecco

Customer Review:
This was an excellent scholarly piece. It was instrumental in my discussion for my politics of revolutionary thought course. It is an excellent spring board to challenge students to find out more about the roles of African Americans during the American Revolutionary War.
