Customer Review: Excellent well researched book on an important period in American history that has affected our country to this very day, and the lessons
will probably not be heeded now. First time that have ever read the truth of what actually occurred in the Depression of the 1930's.
Customer Review: The author does an excellent job of explaining how ethics, policy, biology, culture and big business are connected and have shaped the foods that we eat today. Many of our eating habits in the Western diet simply do not make sense and ultimately have global repurcussions. The author raises many... more info
Customer Review: Tom Brokaw is right on in this book. I enjoyed going back to the 60's. It was another time and another era. I was glad to be part of it.
Customer Review: I thought that this book was fantastic. It goes into great detail about the year 1776, the problems with keeping the army together as well as the the battles. McCullough writes in such a unique and interesting way that it grabs and holds your attention. It is one of those books you just don't want... more info
Customer Review: While not as enjoyable as Krakauer's other works, UTBOH is a compelling read. Insightful, giving the outsider a view of the FLDS church that is seldom seen and even less understood.

Ellis's approach deals with the... more info

Easy to understand explanations of the science and theories. A tireless work of research and building up in a logical order of a life filled with the excitement of... more info
Customer Review: This is a great addition to the history books covering the founding of our nation. Ellis covers the facts and corrects the fictions have become lore, and does so in a manner that is interesting and revealing. The Founding Fathers were neither geniuses who walked on water with the foresight of gods;... more info
Customer Review: I first got into Band of Brothers (BoB) after the DVD set was released. But I decided I wanted to read the book version to get more of the details (and there is A LOT left out). However, I picked up the audio version so I could listen to in during my commute to and from work. And it REALLY passes... more info
Customer Review: This is a true story of soldiers going back to the scene of an event that shaped their lives, the bloody Battle of the Ia Drang Valley in 1965. Don't expect a war story, but rather a cathartic work of immense value to every politician who ever considered starting a war and anyone who ever fought... more info
