The Transformation of Virginia, 1740-1790 (Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History ...

Rhys Isaac

The University of North Carolina Press, 1999

Tremendous
As you would expect from a book that captured the Pulitzer Prize in History, this is an outstanding book. The writing is clear and cogent. As the other reviewers stated, it brings Colonial Virginia to life for the reader. It's going a bit far to suggest that it ...

The Cousins' Wars: Religion, Politics, Civil Warfare, And The Triumph Of Anglo-America

Kevin Phillips

Basic Books, 1999

The best book on American history i have ever read
This is an amazing book, written, not by a formal scholar, but someone who made history himself, through his political activism for the Republican party in the late 60s. Kevin Phillips has clearly developed intellectually since then. Reading this book, and especially ...

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: Merchant Seamen, Pirates and the Anglo-American Maritime World, 1700 ...

Marcus Rediker

Cambridge University Press, 1989

A remarkable investigation on an original topic.
"Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" constitutes a very serious study on a topic often covered just superficially by historians: the life, ways , customs and culture at sea in the Anglo - American Maritime World in the Eighteenth Century. The title itself ...

Anglo-American Establishment

Quigley Carroll

G. S. G. & Associates, Incorporated, 1981

THIS BOOK IS THE GRANDADDY OF THEM ALL
The book gets five stars, not for holding one's interest nor its readability, but rather because it not only devolves the origins of the hidden criminal elements that were soon to control the US government, but more importantly, it devolves the tactics used to achieve ...

A Century Of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order

F. William Engdahl

Pluto Press, 2004

Great; Terribly Important
I had long put off ordering and reading this book. The subtitle, which implies essentially that this past century of war was all about a struggle for oil dominance, had seemed to me a very limited argument. But Engdahl's book was so heavily referenced in E. H. ...

The American Library Association (ALA), The Canadian Library Association (Cla), ...

American Library Association, 2005

Great
New book in great condition. Delivered quickly. The book did not come with a 3-ring binder. So basically the book is several hundred unbound pages which are already hole-punched.

A great book giving information on Irish Family names and regions they are found in. A very useful book for those doing Irish family research.

Avalon: A Novel

Anya Seton

Chicago Review Press, 2006

Anya Seton - an historial fiction writing legend
This is an incredibly beautifull, well-researched and eloquently written romantic novel. The characters are three-dimentional and believable and, to tell the truth, I could only read a few pages at a time.....and all I can equate it to was taking an occassional bite ...

The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British

Sarah Lyall

W. W. Norton, 2008

Spot on!
As an American married to an English man, I found myself laughing out loud repeatedly while reading this book and seeing a lot of myself in the author's view points. Case in point: when I first moved to England I was horrified to note that no one rinsed their dishes ...

Joyce Lee Malcolm

Harvard University Press, 1996

Funk's Commentary in the Howard Law Journal

Anglo-Saxon Thegn AD 449-1066 (Warrior)

Mark Harrison

Osprey Publishing, 1993

Illustrated text book brings interesting period to life.
This title served well my research on the historical origins of the Arthurian myths. This title focused on the main enemies of Arthur in the fifth century, but it also covered later periods up to just before the Norman conquest. What I like about the Osprey military ...

Essential Cataloguing

J. H. Bowman

Neal-Schuman Publishers, 2002

Do not buy this book
Do not buy this book the excamples are terrible for such an expensive text. To explain cataloguing it is essential to have engaging excamples that explain the theory.

Mastery, Tyranny, and Desire: Thomas Thistlewood and His Slaves in the Anglo-Jamaican World

Trevor Burnard

The University of North Carolina Press, 2004

P. Stern
This fascinating book is scrupulously researched and very well-written. It is also, in its fine-grained portrayal of the slave-holder Thomas Thistlewood, deeply disturbing. The paradox that Burnard explores is how Thistlewood, an amateur botanist and would-be student ...

Robert L. Maxwell

American Library Association, 2004

Maxwell's Handbook for AACR2
Of the 6 titles I have purchased on this subject, this is the best. It was the most comprehensive (I wanted further explanation on less discussed subjects). The examples were okay although still representative of an academic library for the most part. I am still ...
