That's no "deal" or "bargain," of course. Too, this MobileRead website is about digital stuff, and this book ain't even digital. So why am I mentioning it? Because it is free, as a PDF, through Open Access!

Navigate to this webpage. There are actually two editions of the aforementioned ebook (I am assuming that--there are two entries for the ebook, and the PDFs that get downloaded have two different file names); I don't know which one, if either, is the same edition as at Amazon.

I am a big believer in Open Access. If you like to get bargain ebooks, search for OA's. It is the best source of ebook bargains that I know of right now.
Thank you! Free is always good.

The Universe by John Brockman is available from both Kobo and Amazon for $1.99.

Synopsis:

The Universe
Leading Scientists Explore the Origin, Mysteries, and Future of the Cosmos

by John Brockman
series Best of Edge Series
Synopsis

John Brockman brings together the world's best-known physicists and science writers—including Brian Greene, Walter Isaacson, Nobel Prize-winner Frank Wilczek, Benoit Mandelbrot, and Martin Rees—to explain the universe in all wondrous splendor.
In The Universe, today's most influential science writers explain the science behind our evolving understanding of the universe and everything in it, including the cutting edge research and discoveries that are shaping our knowledge.
Lee Smolin reveals how math and cosmology are helping us create a theory of the whole universe. Benoit Mandelbrot looks back on a career devoted to fractal geometry. Neil Turok analyzes the fundamental laws of nature, what came before the big bang, and the possibility of a unified theory.
Seth Lloyd investigates the impact of computational revolutions and the informational revolution. Lawrence Krauss provides fresh insight into gravity, dark matter, and the energy of empty space. Brian Greene and Walter Isaacson illuminate the genius who revolutionized modern science: Albert Einstein. And much more.
Explore the universe with some of today's greatest minds: what it is, how it came into being, and what may happen next.

It seems like there ought to be an exception to that, but I can't think of one at the moment.

All 3 volumes (Kindle) of the "Yesteryear Gazette: Amazing Stories From the Pages of Vintage American Newspapers" are currently free (I think they're usually $1.99 each). I had one of the volumes on my Amazon wishlist planning to pick it up if I rejoin Prime and pick up a few no-rush credits so I thought they looked interesting. Each volume has "twenty of the most compelling, moving, humorous and quirky stories from this treasure trove of American newspapers" culled from the Library of Congress digitized newspaper collection. Volumes are between appx. 160 & 190 pages each. Will probably only last for a day or so.

Vol. 1:

Vol. 2:

Conquest: Cortes, Montezuma, and the Fall of Old Mexico by Hugh Thomas has dropped to $6.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Not a great price, but not horrible either for non-fiction, and for that you get a really long book . More seriously, I read this in DTB on a vacation to Mexico many years ago, and really enjoyed it. In the US, at least, we tend to barely learn just the basics (Cortez came, he saw, he conquered), and it was nice to learn a lot more about that period of history. I find I don't remember quite as much of the history as I wish now, though, and I have another trip to Mexico coming up in the fall, so I may bite on this one...and it'll be easier to carry on my phone than the original book was .

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Conquest-Cort...dp/B00AK78QCW/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/conquest-15

Spoiler:
Quote:
Drawing on newly discovered sources and writing with brilliance, drama, and profound historical insight, Hugh Thomas presents an engrossing narrative of one of the most significant events of Western history.

Ringing with the fury of two great empires locked in an epic battle, Conquest captures in extraordinary detail the Mexican and Spanish civilizations and offers unprecedented in-depth portraits of the legendary opponents, Montezuma and Cortés. Conquest is an essential work of history from one of our most gifted historians.

White Mischief: A Cultural History of Cocaine by Tim Madge

Cocaine has a unique place in the history of illegal recreational drugs. Remaining near the top of the list of drugs governments have vowed to eliminate, cocaine has kept its street credibility and underground status as the champagne drug, associated in many people's minds with a high-living, high-rolling lifestyle.

Production of cocaine from coca leaves is increasing. Prices are steady. The mass media treat its recreational use by the rich and famous as more of a naughty prank than a potentially deadly vice. The coca plant is still legally chewed by millions of South Americans, producing a mild high akin to that of caffeine. More famously, coca extract remains a core ingredient of Coca-Cola, albeit with the cocaine content now removed.

First published in 2001 by Mainstream Publishing (Edinburgh) Ltd.

Tim Madge is a social historian, lecturer and journalist. He is the author of a number of books, including Maiden (with Tracy Edwards) and Long Voyage Home, subsequently turned into a BBC Radio Four documentary series which he wrote and presented. Dr Madge is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
