1.[no image]Nothing Like It in the World
from San Val

Customer Review:
I have spend a great amount of time, and I believe rightly so, in drawing out the lessons of the struggle against slavery as they were played out as the great task of the American Civil War of the mid-19th century.

from Three Rivers Press
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
The first chapter alone is worth picking up this well written account of how Key West was "anchored to the mainland", a feat I'm not sure modern day Conchs appreciate.

Customer Review:
The writing style in this book really helps to capture the innovative spirit and overall drive and determination (and the subsequent lack of it in later years) that led to the creation of a wonderful place... that I will never get to see in person.
A great read, though more images would have... more info

from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $2.75

Customer Review:
This book succeeds on several fronts - trains as the frontier of transportation, captains of industry trying to maximize profits, people trapped in a deadly situation, makeshift engineering to solve shifting problems.

9.To End All WarsTo End All Wars
from Zondervan
Price: $7.10

Customer Review:
I assume that this book is similar if not the same as Ernest Gordnn's original work, Through the Valley of the Kwai. I read the original 3o years ago and became a disciple of Jesus Christ as a result. No other work better illustrates how the love of God affects man than this work.
