Customer Review: Everyone has their favorite one-volume biography of Lincoln. This is not just mine, but many others' as well. Reason: its narrow focus--the man himself, what he saw, knew, did, and thought, from birth to death. No grand historical sweep here, no psycholgical deconstruction, no "lessons", for... more info
Customer Review: An excellent book for believers, gnostics and atheists alike. A quick, easy read but full of memorable information and some words to live by. A great conversation starter: I highly recommend this for your coffee table or night stand as opposed to the mindless drivel of a magazine.
Customer Review: Note: This review is for the hardback 1999 edition. I first read this under the title of As Eagles Scream back in 1977.

The story is presented in chronological order, beginning in the late 1840's as Abraham Lincoln was gaining stature in Illinois. That rise accelerated a decade later, culminating in his... more info
Customer Review: I am a recent graduate of college with a degree in music education. While reading this book, I really enjoyed myself and was able to brush up a little bit on my music history. Very entertaining and informative. I wish my music history classes in college were this fun.
Customer Review: This book is the required textbook for my timber design course in college, and it does indeed provide the basics needed to address the design of simple structures. The only issue with the book is that the examples cover only the basics with its examples. Anyone who has ever actually done real design... more info
Customer Review: David Ricardo played a crucial role in developing Classical Economics. Ricardo was prompted to write on economics by reading The Wealth of Nations. As luck would have it, Ricardo knew James Mill (father of JS Mill) and was soon in contact with TR Malthus. The debates between Ricardo and Malthus... more info
