Frontier Kentucky Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Frontier Kentucky" is one of those books one might not expect a lot from: small, short, and apparently written for young readers. Having just read a couple of top quality histories (the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for history's ("Washington's Crossing" by David Hackett Fischer, and "Cavalryman Of A Lost Cause:...

The House of Thunder Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book to me is a classic. Koontz brilliantly constructs this plot and makes it a joy to see unfold.

A couple months ago I gave this book to my girlfriend to read I got her hooked on Koontz now I am like her Koontz...

The Comanchero Frontier: A History of New Mexican-Plains Indian Relations Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This was apparently originally published over 40 years ago as Kenner's doctoral thesis. The writing style might reflect that, but it's a very good, very readable narrative about a subject that does not seem well represented in Southwest studies. After a brief overview of the Pueblo lands before the Spaniards'...

Best Practice: New Standards for Teaching and Learning in America's Schools, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As part of my school's curriculum committee, Best Practices is on our assigned reading list.

Real Time Proven Commodity Spreads: The 20 Most Consistently Profitable Low-Risk Trades Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I first balked at the high price of this book. It didn't matter that it was written by professional futures trader, George Angell. I bought it and studied the different spread trades that he dedicates a chapter each to. This book will be useful for years to come from taking these trades. The price is...

Prechter's Perspective: Conversations with Bob Prechter, Legendary Market Theorist Review

The Very Latest E-Mini Trading: Using Market Anticipation to Trade Electronic Futures Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)An excellent primer for the beginning trader and good insights for more experienced traders.

The Stock Market Course, Workbook Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Like Amazon says - this book is better together with The Stock Market Course (main book.)It provides real case studies and helps test the knowledge you WILL learn if you read the other book - you can't skip an entire semester and show up for the final expecting to know the answers. Take mine and Amazon's...

Options DeMYSTiFieD, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Options Demystified" is a worthy addition to McGraw-Hill's "Demystified" series, easily living up to its claim of being a self-teaching guide.

Red Cloud's Folk: A History of the Oglala Sioux Indians (Civilization of the American Indian Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As the title states, this is not a biography of Red Cloud. It is, instead, the history of his people-the Oglala-as far back as the middle of the 17th century. However, while Hyde's speculation on the early history is probably the most valuable part, the various migrations and splits of the Sioux are...

A Rendezvous Reader: Tall, Tangled, and True Tales of the Mountain Men 1805-1850 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a worthy addition to the long shelf of good books about the doings of a few men who explored and adventured in the wilderness of the great West around about the 1820s and 1830s. Never perhaps did so few lead such exhilarating and dangerous lives. The "Reader" consists of 151 brief excerpts from...
