from Mariner Books

Customer Review:
One of the rare books to tell the real story of the dust bowl. Filled with real people stories and their stamina, grit and fortitude. I was so shocked that people endured this kind of hardship and for such a long period of time. Incredible. Must read.

from Harper Perennial
Price: $8.03

Customer Review:
Shlaes writes well but in the end I just didn't completely buy her arguments. I don't pretend to know everything about the Great Depression but have studied it a fair bit and Shlaes has a habit of leaving out or dismissing with a sentence or two some pretty important, even critical, details of what... more info

I am 2/3 through this fabulous book and, although I am reserving my final opinion until the last page, I truly feel this will be my favorite book of my nearly 70 years on this planet.

from Anchor
Price: $9.90

Customer Review:
In the landscape of historical books there is a plethora of long gone forests expended in describing the life and times of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I have read two rather distinctive and thorough accounts of FDR being Conrad Black's "Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Champion of Freedom" and Doris Kearns... more info

The more things change, the more they stay the same
Greenspan used the words "irrational exuberance" in the late 90s to describe investor activities that were driving up the "value" of stocks (many of which had no BUSINESS value). Unfortunately, he and the Fed never took appropriate action to... more info

from Crown
Price: $15.51

Customer Review:
In 1929, an inebriated (beautiful) Myrtle Bennett chased down and shot her inebriated (dashing) husband after he ridiculed her over a bridge hand. The Bennetts were not Kansas City "high society" nor "monied", but her trial lawyer and others that touched her story were. Enter James A. Reed (yes,... more info

There was a time - not that long ago, really - within the memory of many of us, or right before our time - when people made a full life out of "making do." Mildred Kalish's book is a delicious celebration (complete with recipes) of that all-but-vanished part of the American character.
