Dreadnaught
This is perhaps the finest, most informative, and eminently readable book on history I have read in 50 years of exploring the subject. It is comprehensive and an indispensable book for those who wish to understand the dynamics of European and world history since the ...

South-Western College Pub, 2007

One of the best basic finance textbooks

Land of the Firebird: The Beauty of Old Russia

Suzanne Massie

Hearttree Press, 1980

Well worth the price
I first read this magnificent tome on Russian history and culture in 1997. As it was part of a history class in college, the first read was a bit of a drag...page after page of description concerning the minutia of Russian life: clothes, churches, meals, religious & ...

Organizational Communication: Foundations for Business and Collaboration (with InfoTrac®)

Alan Zaremba

South-Western College Pub, 2005

could use some reorganisation
It would be a little easier to read after a reorganisation of the chapters. It just doesn't quite flow right. Lots of theory with a little "what's in it for me" thrown in. Required reading for my class.

Peter the Great

Robert K. Massie

Ballantine Books, 1986

My favorite history book
I love to read history and have numerous books about many people and events that happened throughout history. But this book has to be my absolute favorite. Peter the Great was an amazing person and led a life without one dull moment. Once you start reading this book it ...

The Romanovs: the Final Chapter

Much-Awaited Finale to 'Nicholas and Alexandra'
Massie is a master historian and storyteller, and this book is nearly impossible to put down. Though reading Massie's prequel, 'Nicholas and Alexandra', is not essential to understandng 'The Romanovs: The Final Chapter', it is highy recommended. Beginning with the ...

Nicholas and Alexandra

Robert K. Massie

Ballantine Books, 2000

The Tragedy of The Twentieth Century
In 2000, there was much talk about the "most important person of the 20th Century." My choice was always Gavrilo Princip, the young Bosnian assassin who killed Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, igniting World War I, which caused the Russian Revolution, Communism, ...

The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life

Richard Herrnstein, Charles Murray

Free Press, 1994

Whatever your opinion, a classic.
Murray and Hernstein's book is by now an infamous classic. This is too bad as the content is really mild, sobering, and well worth contemplating. Far from being a racist screed, the text is more of a kick in the teeth. It asks us to look at reality and to stop day ...

A Really Great Book of Adventure and History

Castles of Steel: Britain, Germany, and the Winning of the Great War at Sea

Great look at the Navy in World War I
Robert Massie's approach to understanding World War I through the naval battles is original and thought provoking. It is one of the best he has ever written and the prefect accompaniment to his book Dreadnought. The book tracks how the German and British navies ...
