5.		Vanishing America: The End of Main Street Diners, Drive-Ins, Donut Shops, and Other Everyday Monuments from Rizzoli Price: $26.37 Customer Review: No matter where you live, you probably pass buildings that have seen better days on your daily commute. If not buildings, then maybe signs, whether they are on billboards or sides of buildings. All of these items harken back to an earlier time; a time when the area was more vibrant. Now replaced by... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast from William Morrow Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I am a certified floodplain planner, storm spotter and emergency manager.

8.		The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967 from Ballantine Books Price: $12.89 Customer Review: I have every book that Hunter S Thompson has ever written and if asked which was my favorite I would have to say "The Proud Highway" because it's the most private and most intimate correspondence of one of America's most influential and incisive journalists/writers - In letters to luminaries from... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

11.		World War II Desk Reference from Castle Books Price: $10.39 Customer Review: Brinkley says that this book "more than fills the bill.

And Haskew says it " ....is designed as a resource for both the novice and the experienced... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Rise to Globalism from Longman Price: $8.00 Customer Review: This is a good survey of American foreign policy since 1938. It can be dry at times since it is dealing with policy but I highly recommend it. Stephen E. Ambrose co-wrote it so you know it must be pretty good. I recommend this because many Americans now adays don't really know much about America's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Gonzo Way: A Celebration of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson from Fulcrum Publishing Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Look, The book is ok. But the problem is Anita is a light-weight who has taken much too heavy a load for her subject. I have corresponded with her on several occasions and while at first she seemed able to hang in, during the final e-mails she so badly misinterpreted by motives and actual statements... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Parish Priest: Father Michael McGivney and American Catholicism from Harper Perennial Price: $4.99 Customer Review: A very well written and informative biography of the founder of the Knights of Columbus.

17.		The Majic Bus: An American Odyssey from Basic Books Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I read this book when it first came out in about 2 days. As a an impressionable college student, I found it extremely inspiring. Brinkley does a good job or combining both history and life lessons.

18.		The Boys of Pointe du Hoc: Ronald Reagan, D-Day, and the U.S. Army 2nd Ranger Battalion from Harper Perennial Price: $11.86 Customer Review: When Brooklyn native Peggy Noonan heard that the rangers who had heroically scaled Pointe Du Hoc on June 6,1944 were going to be front and present at President Ronald Reagan's 40th anniversary speech marking D-Day, she had the perfect line in mind for Reagan to say, "These are the boys of Point Du... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Wheels for the World: Henry Ford, His Company, and a Century of Progress from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $12.24 Customer Review: I liked this book a lot and obviously a substantial amount of energy was put into research. One thing though.......it is so comprehensive up to Henry's death, and then little is left for the days of HenryII et al. So, my remark is what about the exciting post-war years and then the present?... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		The Town and the City (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Classics Customer Review: This is Jack Kerouac's first novel, written when he was in his early twenties. "On the Road" brought him fame, but I think this is one is his best. The characters are all real and complex, particualrly one of the brothers of the large Martin family named Francis, who feels society is the enemy.
