The Struggle for Mastery in Europe: 1848-1918 (Oxford History of Modern Europe)
Alan J. P. Taylor

Oxford University Press, USA, 1980

The Ne Plus Ultra of Modern European Historiography!
A. J. P. Taylor's book is the sine qua non for university students of European history. This is the real deal: Taylor was a genuine historian who never went further than his facts--and his facts are incredibly well researched, well documented, and bountiful. This is ...
  
  











  



  
William Cooper's Town: Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic
Alan Taylor

Vintage, 1996

Fascinating
What a pleasure, what a joy to read this book. It's rare that history rises to such a wonderful pitch -- anecdote, analysis, historial context all wrapped up in one fine package. I stumbled onto this book while perusing library shelves while my daughter picked out ...

Liberty Men and Great Proprietors: The Revolutionary Settlement on the Maine Frontier, 1760-1820 (Omohundro ...
Alan Taylor

The University of North Carolina Press, 1990

Liberty Men and Great Historian!
This is not only a fascinating book on a well-kept historical secret (even from those of us who hail from mid-Maine), it is well written and lively.
  
  











  



  
The Divided Ground: Indians, Settlers, and the Northern Borderland of the American Revolution
Alan Taylor

Vintage, 2007

A very forthright view of the Native American and their treatment
Without being "preachy" or trying to be "politically correct" this account of the native American and their plight against the early settlers in North America is an eye opener. Very well written without the "pretext" of trying to explain it away, the author descibes a ...
  
  











  



  
International Trade
Robert C. Feenstra, Alan M. Taylor

Worth Publishers, 2007

International Trade
Was not made clear it was just a "study guide" and not the actual text book. Complete waste of money.
  
  











  



  
International Economics
Robert C. Feenstra, Alan M. Taylor

Worth Publishers, 2007

A survival text for Trade economics
This book covers several models of international trade: The Ricardian Model, Heckscher-Ohlin model, Specific Factors model, and The Gravity Model (briefly). It also examines the effects of limited competition, tariffs, quotas, and subsidies. Overall, the content is ...
  
  











  



  
American Colonies: The Settling of North America (The Penguin History of the United States, Volume1) (Hist of ...
Alan Taylor

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002

Excellent history
Extremely entertaining and informative. The settlement of the north American continent has more chapters than Americans are provided in their schools, and this series from Penguin may change that. This should be required course reading in many topics: US history, ...
  
  











  



  
International Macroeconomics
Robert C. Feenstra, Alan M. Taylor

Worth Publishers, 2007

Available as either a complete textbook on International Economics, or as separate International Trade and International Macroeconomics sections.
  
  











  



  
The Minutemen and Their World (American Century Series)

Hill and Wang, 2001

a pleasure to read? absolutely
I agree wholeheartedly with editorial reviewer David Hackett Fisher. This book reads almost like a novel, and yet it is a work of history--with solid research and scholarship, at that. Gross argues that the Revolution provided Concord an opportunity to re-assert ...
  
  











  



  
The Manual of Exalted Power: Dragon-Blooded (Exalted Second Edition)
Alan Alexander, Kraig Blackwelder, ...

White Wolf Publishing, 2006

A great book
All in all, I'm enjoying the 'recasting' of Exalted, and this book is no exception. This book greatly expands on the first edition book, and with the Realm setting shunted off into a companion volume (Compass of Celestial Directions 1: the Blessed Isle), the extra room ...
  
  











  



  
Global Capital Markets: Integration, Crisis, and Growth (Japan-US Center UFJ Bank Monographs on International ...
Maurice Obstfeld, Alan M. Taylor

Cambridge University Press, 2005

This book presents an economic history of international capital mobility in the modern era. It blends narrative and quantitative methods and connects economic outcomes to the underlying political economy of international macroeconomics. The volume demonstrates that the recent globalization can be seen, in part, as the resumption of a liberal ...
  
  











  



  
Fair Division: From Cake-Cutting to Dispute Resolution
Steven J. Brams, Alan D. Taylor

Cambridge University Press, 1996

A comprehensive resource, easily read
This was easily the book I referred to most in my Master's paper on fair division. It covers a lot of topics, including envy-free and equitable division, fair division by auctions, and fair division by elections. The authors devote a chapter to their favorite ...
  
  











  



  
Kidnapped & Catriona
Robert Louis Stevenson

Polygon, 2007

Practically Unknown Sequel to Kidnapped is Terrific
This combination of Kidnapped and it's sequel by World Books was fantastic. I never thought of Kidnapped having a sequel until I found this book. I realized how quickly and abruptly the ending was to Kidnapped and all of a sudden it fit. World Books made the stories ...
