Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

Guns, Germs and Steel is a scientific historical treatment on the rise and fall of civilizations and the reasons why the western world is considered successful.

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $12.24

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

Salt: A World History
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

This book earned me the UberDork rating from anyone I told about it, but they are the ones who missed out. The writing is clear and makes for fun snippet reading. (Got 10 minutes? Pick it up!) The useless but fun facts mentioned by another reviewer are a big part of what kept me reading, but I have... more info

The Mystery of 2012: Predictions, Prophecies and Possibilities

The Mystery of 2012: Predictions, Prophecies & Possibilities
from Sounds True
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:

This book is full of details and information that I found myself dragging through. It was, however, interesting and makes a person think about what could possibly be true about 2012. It was hard for me to get through it, though, because of all the details. They are, however, necessary to affirm what... more info

The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child: Volume 1: Ancient Times: From the Earliest Nomads to the Last Roman Emperor, Revised Edition (Story ... the World: History for the Classical Child)
from Peace Hill Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

This comprehensive history program helps put today's conflicts in perspective. The chapters are short, and have lots of stories, legends, and myths to keep the child interested along with the more "information" parts. Both my 7-year-old and I learned a lot.
While we are not religious, I like... more info

The Landmark Herodotus: The Histories
from Pantheon
Price: $29.70

Customer Review:

Having previously read an inexpensive edition of Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War, I understand the difficulty of making one's way through a book of ancient history without the aid of maps or footnotes. When I decided to read Herodotus' Histories, then, I was thrilled to find this one,... more info

The Intellectual Devotional: American History: Revive Your Mind, Complete Your Education, and Converse Confidently about Our Nation's Past
from Modern Times
Price: $16.32

Customer Review:

Instead, let's this be our little secret: I didn't use The Intellectual Devotional in the way it was intended. (That is, reading one entry each day for a year.)
Forget that! There was no way that I was going to wait 24 hours between its excellent and varied entries.
Regarding the few... more info

Travels with Herodotus (Vintage International)
from Vintage
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

Kapuscinski reports on the people and political culture of the third and fourth worlds( the third being countries like Iran and the fourth countries like the Congo).
He is very humble to recognize that it is difficult if not impossible to report on a country if a reporter does not speak the... more info

The Epic of Gilgamesh: An English Verison with an Introduction (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:

It will be obvious that plagerism is not a recent phenomenon. When you are aware of Gilgamesh, the supposed wise sages of books like the Torah, Bible, what ever the Arabs call their drivel, you will realize that you have been duped as the authors of those works merely ripped-off the Greeks,... more info
