John Lukacs's book on the escape of ten American POWs from the Davao Penal Colony in April of 1943 is exceedingly well researched, historically accurate, and written with enough personal details to elicit deep empathy for the suffering and the hardship endured by the escapees.

Exactly how did the Union and Confederates get their gunpowder? This breakdown begins well before the Civil War, but includes the Civil War in great detail. I found the book to be very historically correct and factual. It ties all of the pieces of the puzzle together, yet explains each piece individually. ...             Dawn of Darkness, A Novel35 reviews, 2009 The Politics Of War This book was written about subject matter that I had been exposed to before. However the book draws you into the atrocities emposed on our troops by the Japanese during the second world war on a personal level. As if what our troops suffered at the hands of the Japanese as captives wasn't bad enough, the betrayal to them by our own government post World War II was just as bad.             Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments: All Lab, No Lecture (DIY Science)21 reviews Robert Bruce Thompson O'Reilly Media, 2008 You're gonna need a chemistry equipment supplier. This book is some solid science! It's more for the home-school crowd than the dilettante who just wants some party tricks. Granted, some of the experiments are pretty darn cool (copper ore comes to mind), but you're not going to be blowing stuff up like on YouTube - hopefully - you're just going to be doing some basic (dangerous) experiments. This book is NOT for kids under 12 or so to use ...             The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe40 reviews Theodore Gray Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2009 Elements Book Unique book, beautiful pictures, and educational text.

Having diabetes, I participate in pharmaceutical studies. Nothing on the market has ever been able to truly get my A1C where it needs to be despite careful diet, exercise, changing physicians, and ...             The Periodic Table: Elements with Style!22 reviews Simon Basher, Adrian Dingle Kingfisher, 2007 More fun than flash cards I am mentoring a 14 year old girl. She is taking chemistry next year so I purchased this little book so she can learn the "elements" this coming summer. This charming little book full of cute "element" characters is fun so it should be better than flash cards. It has each of the periodic element's information on one page, including the density and weight. Drawings and characters are such fun! A ...             The Organic Gardener's Handbook of Natural Insect and Disease Control: A Complete Problem-Solving Guide to ...44 reviews Rodale Books, 1996 A "MUST" for any gardener's library!

An absolutely wonderful read.             IONPAIR: A chemical speciation program for calcareous and gypsiferous soil solutions (Special report)16 reviews Giles M Marion Available from NTIS, 1991 Musical theme to Planiverse I really enjoyed this novel! Along with an interesting story, Dewdney does a thorough job of explaining the culture and science of a two dimensional world. He really displays some great scientific insight, clearly explained in side figures. The novel has such a complete description of another world, I doubted it was fiction for a while. I apologize for the shameless plug, but a song is also ...             Handbook for Critical Cleaning13 reviews CRC Press, 2000 It's the ONLY book on Critical Cleaning In my opinion, it's not just the BEST book on critical cleaning, it's the ONLY objective, scientific book on critical cleaning, emphasizing studies, testing and data. Also includes anecdotal information with proper discussion and evaluation, putting one of its feet in the "Handbook" category. In the spacecraft technologies area, Tribble's book "Fundamental's of Contamination Control," is ...             Firecrackers: The Art and History12 reviews Warren Dotz, Jack Mingo, ... San Val, 2000 Experience the Thrill This book shows great insite into the history of the firecracker and the intricate artwork involved with the packaging of them. The clarity of the illustrations are wonderful, its hard to believe some of the labels are as old as they are. I highly recommend this book to anyone who can remember the excitement of being able to "set off" these firecrackers on the 4th of July, without worrying ...             Perry's Chemical Engineers' Platinum Edition11 reviews Robert H. Perry, Don W. Green McGraw-Hill Professional, 1999 Convenient for labs The hardcopy Perry's is a fun bedside table read for chemical engineers, and makes an excellent review manual. But it is bulky and heavy to lug around to labs or study rooms, and so the CD's that are part of this edition are first rate tools to load on your laptop so that Perry's tables and measurements in searchable format( the next thing to 'The Force' that there is a for chemical engineers) ...             The Fourth Horseman: One Man's Mission to Wage the Great War in America [With Headphones] (Playaway Adult ...10 reviews Robert Koenig Playaway, 2009 "The Enemy Within" Robert Koenig's portrayal of Anton Dilger's mission to bring germ warfare to America during WWI is far more than just a gripping story of biological warfare and sabotage in one of its first modern instances.
