In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex
from Viking Adult
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:

Philbrick is a good writer. Sometimes I felt pulled between the history of Nantucket, an inside look into whaling and the story of the Essex. Each is interesting and deserves its own book. The story of the Essex is incredibly powerful, and I feel that Philbrick treated the terrible survival... more info

Sword Song (The Saxon Chronicles, Book 4)
from Harper
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:

For those of you who have faithfully read the entire Sharpe series, and all the other series, you know full well that Bernard Cornwell is a master author who never fails to fully involve you in everything he writes. I've read other reviews about his books, and such carping, such trifling squabbles... more info

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations...One School at a Time
from Viking Adult
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I learned so much about the country of Palestine and was so impressed with the outstanding descriptions of the countrysides. It was a real eye-opener into the Muslim people as well which, I hate to admit, are misunderstood by most Americans. They... more info

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
from Viking Adult
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:

In Collapse, Jared Diamond utilizes what is on the surface a sound scientific approach to the problems of societies and their eventual collapse. Unfortunately, the focus of this topic is visibly narrow. For his "prehistoric" examples he used 1,000 year old societies, in addition to more recent ones,... more info

The Last Kingdom (The Saxon Chronicles Series #1)
from HarperCollins
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

I HAD ABOUT GIVEN UP ON CORNWELL COMING UP WITH A SERIES AND A CHARACTER AS GOOD AS SHARPE, BUT I DON'T ANYMORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT SERIES, DONE WITH TYPICAL CORNWELL LEVEL HISTORICAL ACCURACY AND GREAT CHARACTERS. I HAVE READ THREE OF THEM SO FAR AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE.

The Pale Horseman (The Saxon Chronicles Series #2)
from HarperCollins
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

Cornwell grabs the readers interest from the very beginning and doesn't let go until the last page! His books are so well written that the reader feels a pang of regret as he nears the end of each of his books.

The Portable Nietzsche (Viking Portable Library)
from Penguin Books
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:

The five stars are really more for Nietzsche than this particular pastiche. I've had this book since my thirties and have underlined it a lot. Whatever conclusions others draw from his work, to me it's always been mainly delightful. He's definitely the wild guy, as much poet as anything else. Like... more info

An easy read of a short history of the imigration to the British Isles as validated by the DNA of their decendants. A must read for those interested in their deep genealogical sncestery.
