I haven't read Robert D. Kaplan's Balkan Ghosts (yet), but I have read and enjoyed his Adriatic: A Concert of Civilizations at the End of the Modern Age, which was on sale a year-and-a-half ago. Now Balkan Ghosts is on sale for $2.99 at Kindle US, and I'm going to give it a try, although I'm not sure when I'll actually get to reading it. The TBR pile is high, but fingers crossed...

Annals of the Former World by John McPhee is $2.99 on Amazon US.
Twenty years ago, when John McPhee began his journeys back and forth across the United States, he planned to describe a cross section of North America at about the fortieth parallel and, in the process, come to an understanding not only of the science but of the style of the geologists he traveled with. The structure of the book never changed, but its breadth caused him to complete it in stages, under the overall title Annals of the Former World. |

This month's University of Chicago Press free e-book is Chicago’s Block Clubs: How Neighbors Shape the City by Amanda I. Seligman.
“Insistently local in its focus. . .Offers microlevel detail and archival documentation that makes it almost like primary source material. . .The book’s strength is in meticulously documenting the “persistent efforts of residents to control their environment” and their resolve to do so with others” — Journal of Urban Affairs |
