The Triassic Period: The History and Legacy of the Geologic Era that Witnessed the Rise of Dinosaurs John Wycliffe: The Life and Legacy of the English Theologian Who Preceded the Protestant Reformation Havana: The History and Legacy of Cuba’s Capital William Powell: The Life and Legacy of One of Early Hollywood’s Most Acclaimed Actors https://www.amazon.com/s?i=digital-t...+river+editors https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?i=digital...+river+editors I think that the moderators frown on making a post just to thank or praise a poster for a post; there may even be a rule against it. So I'm forced to have more to say. I am a "car guy," and the cover of the Havana book reminded me of something interesting. Before the embargo(?) by the U.S., Cubans bought quite a number of U.S. automobiles. After the embargo started, they had no source for parts to repair them, but through ingenuity, etc. they managed, for the most part I think, to keep their American automobiles going. It would be interesting to know how many Americans have made trips recently to find and buy models that are hard to find now in the U.S. I would love to go there myself--there are a couple of models, that are hard to find now in the U.S., that I would love to acquire. No doubt some Cubans have become nouveau rich from selling their cars (mostly 1950's models, I think) to Americans and others. It will be interesting to see if the Havana book has anything to say about the subject! Thanks, again, for your posts of the Charles River ebooks, and your kindness in providing links for Americans, so that we don't have to go through the trouble of creating them ourselves!

Legend and Legacy by Robert J. Serling Free
The name Boeing evokes vivid images, from the B-17 Flying Fortresses of World War II to the 707 and 747 jet transports that revolutionized air travel. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07RQ6YK...v_ov_lig_dp_it Last edited by WestCactus; 08-24-2019 at 03:52 PM. |

The book was published almost exactly 2 months after the Ethiopian Airlines crash, when it quickly became apparent that that crash and the previous 737Max crash were related. I suppose that, given the ability to rapidly publish ebooks, something about the problem might have made it into the ebook, but it's highly unlikely, IMHO. |

In the Shadow of the Sword: The Birth of Islam and the Rise of the Global Arab Empire by Tom Holland has dropped to $4.99, not a great price, but not terrible either for history/non-fiction. I read and enjoyed Holland's Persian Fire a while back, so will probably buy and read this one.

Mommie Dearest by Christina Crawford is $1.99 today:
https://www.amazon.com/Mommie-Deares.../dp/B0766K9K8Q I was interested to see that it’s listed as an eTextbook (presumably not on child care). |

Salt: A World History
by Mark Kurlansky is $1.99 at U.S. stores Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...api_tkin_p1_i0 Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/salt-13 Below is the blurb: An unlikely world history from the bestselling author of Cod and The Basque History of the World In his fifth work of nonfiction, Mark Kurlansky turns his attention to a common household item with a long and intriguing history: salt. The only rock we eat, salt has shaped civilization from the very beginning, and its story is a glittering, often surprising part of the history of humankind. A substance so valuable it served as currency, salt has influenced the establishment of trade routes and cities, provoked and financed wars, secured empires, and inspired revolutions. Populated by colorful characters and filled with an unending series of fascinating details, Salt is a supremely entertaining, multi-layered masterpiece. |

Written in History: Letters that Changed the World by Simon Sebag Montefiore has dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK. Glancing at the sample, this strikes me as similar to two books I really liked in DTB that are not available in ebook at the moment: Eyewitness to History by John Carey, and Eyewitness to America: 500 Years of American History in the Words of Those Who Saw It Happen by David Colbert. So I may give this one a try...
