<description><![CDATA[Vermeer's Hat by Timothy Brook is not really about Vermeer, or hats, or art for that matter. It's a book about globalization sixteenth century-style. Using elements from a few of the Dutchman's paintings - plus some others from the period - the author identifies evidence of global trade, of the economic history of a century that saw the opening up of commerce on a scale the world had previously not known.]]></description>

<pubDate>Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:22:46 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Michael Kasenow's The Last Paradise brings together an eclectic ensemble of characters living of Galveston, Texas during Post-Civil War America. The Alley, home to people in all walks of life from prostitutes to nuns, is the setting not only of the injustice and bigotry of the times, but also a place where friendship and family bonds help the characters hold their heads high and endure the many hardships. The initial introduction to the character around which most of the book is centered, Maxwell Hayes, does the man a bit of injustice; it is not until further into the book...]]></description>

Interestingly, the word isn't English, it's derived from the Australian Aboriginals which used the stick primarily for hunting, but has assimilated its use in English as well as Russian.

<description><![CDATA[Boston was ripe with distrust of the former colonial power, England. He met many of the early immigrants who came to New England and were involved in the revolt. He fit right in with the patriots like Ben Franklin, Sam Adams and Paul Revere. He could speak both languages and understood their concerns.

<description><![CDATA[The war itself was fought for many different reasons. Chiefly, the slavery issue was the main one. Secondly, the war was fought to keep the union in tact though an imperfect arrangement at the time.

<description><![CDATA[This was the exciting conclusion of the novel trilogy of this Civil War era by John Jakes. Carpetbaggers came in droves taking advantage of the opportunities created by those weaknesses. Politics were dominated by new freed men and northerners alike. There was a great deal of resentment on both sides. Those killed were from North and South so that was why there was so much hatred after the conflict was over. The Indians in the western expansion felt the full blunt of angry soldiers who were pushing them beyond their natural homeland.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At around 270,000 words, Stanley Karnow's Vietnam - A History is something of a monster, as is its subject. Even those who did not live through the era when reports of the conflict dominated most international news, the title itself is still probably recognised as something iconic, something that sums up the third quarter of the twentieth century. The word iconic would be inaccurate, however.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So much of the written word today is only used to titillate or sensationalize, to hide opinion within thinly veiled pseudo-objective commentary and to debase the beauty of language once used within a covenant to inform and illuminate the process of discovery and growth. Too much of the public record in a sharply divided nation has been used to wound, destroy and tear down the subjects of print and online articles, editorials and books. Even sadder than the bitter harvest of dry columnists and stealth agents for political masters masquerading as journalists, are many of the works of so-called learned...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When I approached the reading of this book I was afraid it would contain so many boring facts and figures, but to my delight, "The Final Storm" is not bogged down by anything. It is a great story that begins on February 21, 1945 as WWII is concentrated on the battle for Japan and all the islands that nation controlled. The author tells this excellently written book through the eyes of many involved in the war on land, sea, and in the air, both Allies and Japanese views with no holds barred.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This wonderful history delves into the years before Elizabeth, daughter of Henry VIII, becomes queen. Her story is fascinating, involving, frightening, a tale of the kinds of royal intrigue and treachery that can end at the hangman's noose. We know that Elizabeth lived a long, fruitful life, and it's wonderful to see the youthful influences that made her what she was as a queen. A fascinating read, one to be savored time and again.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In his work, "Portraits of the Whiteman", Keith H. Basso described and analyzed the attempts of Western Apaches to understand Anglo-Americans by determining how they view themselves and the world around them, and making profound observations about their peculiar ways through the technique of verbal humor. Appropriated this way as a dominant topic of jokes and other humorous oral narratives, the "Whiteman" according to Basso is an informal abstraction of Anglo-Americans based on the "typifications and relevances" that Indian people employ in order to rationalize their collective experiences with Anglo-Americans.]]></description>

It is very possible one of the men may have been Monsieur Claude Bernard. Peter Wise has used words to the skill level of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's use of paint, creating a literary book embellishing a world, a period-piece, with complex human emotions, determination, drive and passion, along with respectful conversational French dialogue in his...]]></description>

Just the thought of this makes me cringe and wonder how any human can experiment with another living human and not care what suffering would result from such a thing.

<description><![CDATA[I had read the description of the book as written by the author and expected to find myself "grabbed from the first page" but I was not so grabbed! The beginning and for quite a few pages were used to describe the book's characters, surrounding nature, the description of the clothing, and in general, the times. However, after the first part of the book things got very interesting as more of the Revolutionary War and the characters of that war were introduced making the reader then "be grabbed!" The author's descriptive writing made the story very intriguing.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We have a firm grasp of our history, but there is no way how we could track every single detail that happened across the 6,000 years or so. That leaves more than enough room for Historical Novel, a genre based on some facts that happened or people that actually lived - but with a little twist of the author's imagination. I will present 5 suggestions (naturally good books to read) from this genre. Not that it is my favorite, but these books have a certain undeniable charm. Are you ready?]]></description>

'Havasu Means Blue Water' examines the long ago lynching of a black farmer and his wife but while this is the main foundation of the story we are introduced to subplots linked to the contemporary story of Lyla, her research and her life. The story, past and present, of fictional Wilburn, AZ where the subjects of Lyla's...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is a book review for The History of White People by Historian Nell Irvin Painter. The book is not a conventional narrative in which the major events are lined up neatly in a row to be studied. Rather it's an intellectual history about the invention and development of white racial consciousness and racialist theory from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present, particularly as it relates to America's transition from colonial outpost, to melting pot, to multiracial superpower.]]></description>

As an Australian school kid I was taught about the ANZACs landing at Gallipoli in World War I and the Nazis trying to take over Europe in World War II. It wasn't until I started diving shipwrecks that I realised how much Australia, a country so far removed from the epicentre of both wars, was indelibly touched by both... and I don't just mean Australia's armed forces fighting on foreign shores. I never knew, or considered, how close war came to our shoreline.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Take the Fourth refers to the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution. It's the one which protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring a warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. However, in today's bar-coded computer-transaction cell-phone techno-society, each of us gives out more information on a daily basis than the government actually needs to profile and learn all about us through old fashioned invasive actions.]]></description>

The author writes in a way that draws you to each page because, while the book is fact, it never gets boring. From the very beginning of the book where, in April 1934, Hitler met with the German minister of Defence to make a secret pact where the army would support Adolph Hitler upon the death of Paul von Hindenburg (then leader of Germany).]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["Rawhide Down: The Near Assassination of Ronald Reagan" by Del Quentin Wilber reads like a thriller, but is entirely true. The entire book focuses on one single day: March 30, 1981. The day that President Reagan walked out of a hotel in Washington, D.C., after giving a short speech, and was shot by would-be-assassin John W. Hinckley, Jr. I, like most people, know of the assassination attempt. And as someone who met President Reagan, and has studied our former president more than many, I thought I knew a fair amount about that near tragic day. I sure didn't know the entire story, and now, thanks to Wilber, an award-winning reporter for "The Washington Post," I and everyone else can know the rest of the story, the entire story.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I usually find nonfiction history to be so dry as to lose my attention. Lost in Shangri-La though is a non-fiction accounting of a plane crash that occurred in the last days of WWII with all of the elements of a fiction adventure thriller and author Mitchell Zuckoff has the spirited talent to paint the vivid scenes needed to seize your attention and not let go. On May 13, 1945 twenty-four officers, enlisted men and WACs boarded a flight at the military base in Hollandia New Guinea for a sightseeing excursion over the inland jungle of the island.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I read "The Filthy Thirteen - From the Dustbowl to Hitler's Eagle's Nest: The 101st Airborne's Most Legendary Squad of Combat Paratroopers" by Richard Killblane and Jake McNiece as research for a project I'm working on, and am glad I did, because I really enjoyed the story. And a story it is, the story of Jake McNeice and his adventures during WWII as he and his fellow paratroopers earned the name "The Filthy Thirteen." On the cover of the book, it also states, "The True Story of 'The Dirty Dozen'" and if you get the two disk special edition DVD of the famous movie starring Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, and others, you can see a special featurette on McNiece and the Filthy Thirteen that includes interviews with McNiece and Killblane as well as others. However, the movie and the exploits in this book have nothing similar except both involve WWII and brave men defeating the enemy in the fight against the Germans.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One could sense English is not Florin Grancea's native language as his well written first person autobiographical narrative takes the reader deep into the historical Communist mindset in The Pigs' Slaughter. Grancea uses many short sentences, mostly factual statements without embellished adjectives; nothing more - nothing less than necessary, analogous to the subsistence of the Romanian population back in the latter part of the 1900's. This gives The Pigs' Slaughter a "foreign" written voice into a form with credibility enabling the reader to understand the author's feelings, the historical significance and his emotions; all "foreign" to people not exposed to this culture and...]]></description>

You get to meet the great and humble, the rich and poor, emigrant Germans and former Southern Black slaves, and the men and women who struggled for generations (and who still struggle today), to make some sort of living from the Great Plains. Ian Frazier is clearly a man in love with the Great Plains, its history, and its immense cast of fabulous characters - both modern and ancient. As an introduction to this vast area of land and open space Great Plains is entertaining and informative, and filled with insight, obscure historical facts and references, and ultimately, immensely readable.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At the age of 40, former Jesuit priest, Michael McGirr - armed with not much more than a copy of Anna Karenina, some spare clothes and a less than state-of-the-art Chinese built bicycle - set out to ride the 880 kilometres (547 miles) of the Hume Highway which links Sydney and Melbourne. Bypass takes you on a wonderful journey covering the history of the Hume, and the politics that helped shape it. Along the way you meet some great - and not so great - Australian characters that have helped imprint the name of the highway into the Australian psyche. People like the 61 year old Cliff Young (great), who in 1983 won the inaugural Sydney to Melbourne foot race against competitors half his age. And men like Ivan Milat (not so great) who was convicted of the murder of seven young backpackers and hitch-hikers, all of whom he buried in the Belanglo State Forest.]]></description>

In this tale, the Constable, Riley, is asked to lead a posse into the canyon after the disappearance of a little Indian girl who is the daughter of a maid of one of the city's elite; an early auto mechanic named Zaddie bunker.]]></description>
