1.Citizens: A Chronicle of the French RevolutionCitizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution
from Vintage
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
`Citizens' is a masterful study of the French Revolution I read years ago in hardcover after it was published in 1989. Though lengthy, it examines the most momentous event of the 18C (It wasn't our Revolution for independence from England 1775-83, though I esteem that as a separate subject).more info

from Ecco
Price: $31.50

Customer Review:
It's difficult to decide what's more gorgeous, the full-color reproductions (wonderful, quality paper, by the way) or Simon Schama's prose. I did not see the tv series in its entirety so what's in the book is all new to me. He's a passionate intellectual and his enthusiam is a delight. I'm only at... more info

3.Landscape And MemoryLandscape And Memory
from Vintage
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
I read this book while considering a career in landscape architecture. It works as an aid to history of landscape architecture course one would review. It is very entertaining using our relationship with the land to cover a wide range of topics such as political movements, biography, art, etc. Most... more info

4.The Embarrassment of Riches: An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden AgeThe Embarrassment of Riches: An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden Age
from Vintage
Price: $16.32

Customer Review:
I read a good portion of the book, but must admit that I had a lot of difficulty getting into it. As an undergraduate history major 10+ years ago, I had done some coursework on Dutch history (specifically the rise of the Dutch Republic), but really did not have a strong background for this book.... more info

from Miramax
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
Having Irish-Americans in your family can prejudice your take on British history especially during the epoch period of 1603 to 1776. Many an evening has been spent sitting in my in-laws living room discussing the evils of English tyranny and religious intolorance that sent the McCormick's, Tooey's,... more info

6.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
from Miramax
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
This is a wonderfully readible history of Great Britain and I enjoyed this volume tremendously--until I finished page 352. The version I have then jumped back to page 321 and repreated pages 321 through 352. Then it jumps to page 385. So I'm missing pages 353-384.
If you can, don't by the... more info

7.Rough Crossings: Britain, the Slaves and the American RevolutionRough Crossings: Britain, the Slaves and the American Revolution
from Ecco

Customer Review:
I first stumbled upon Schama with his History of Britain a couple of years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. I loved his Power of Art on PBS, and the book that went with it. But Rough Crossings is even better. What a great story! And so well written!

from Miramax

Customer Review:
Somewhere towards the end of the third volume a flood of images and music unrelated to the book came wafting into the back of my brain. All the class-conscious hypocrisy, bizarre rustic iconography, socialist angst, faded national optimism and ironic, guilt-driven humor of Monty Python, "Are You... more info

9.Rough Crossings: The Slaves, the British, and the American RevolutionRough Crossings: The Slaves, the British, and the American Revolution
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
Schama is always an interesting writer, but he has seldom been as easy to read as in Rough Crossings. Perhaps the subject itself is so unambiguous that he finds his way to simplicity. That subject is the fate of African and African-American refugees from the Thirteen Colonies, the bold proclaimers... more info

10.Rembrandt s EyesRembrandt's Eyes
from Knopf

Customer Review:
Being Dutch, I remember as a kid how my teacher was mesmerizing about how wonderful it would be to have a big enough telescope to catch all the emitted light from long ago and to be able to see Rembrandt paint. I did not know why then, but now I do agree. How wonderful it would have been had he only... more info
