It is perfect for its ...             Eyewitness to the Civil War19 reviews Steve Hyslop National Geographic, 2006 Invaluable Resource Book I decided to buy "Eyewitnesses to the Civil War" based on the reviews - and am very glad I did. Found a new copy from an Amazon-affiliated dealer for under $10.00, which is a wonderful deal for a nice coffee table book of over 400 pages, filled with interesting Civil War articles and 375 photos of battle fields, daguerrotype portraits, uniforms and gear.

I took only three books about this city with me: this guide, the "Lonely planet NYC Guide", and "The Metropolitan Museum of Art Guide". Truth to be told, this guide is probably the only one I couldn't have done without. "Top 10 New York" is an extremely useful small guide that doesn't have as much information as the "Lonely planet NYC Guide", ...             Radioman: An Eyewitness Account of Pearl Harbor and World War II in the Pacific16 reviews Carol Edgemon Hipperson Thomas Dunne Books, 2008 Finally! An American book about ordinary American servicemen. From the time I opened "Radioman" I was hardly able to put it down. I was impressed by the fact that Radioman is not merely a sensationalized novel or an impersonal documentary offering--this singular book provides personal and vivid testimony of a real and ordinary American who lived through--and survived--the harrowing days of the World War II Pacific Theater. We are extremely fortunate ...             Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide to London19 reviews Roger Williams, Mary Scott DK Travel, 2002 The only book you'll need for a short visit Compact, great pictures, well indexed.

I bought one for my bookshelf and one to carry in the car for roadside identification of herbs. The color pictures are clear with all the pertinent details to make an accurate identification. Well worth the investment!             Eyewitness to America: 500 Years of America in the Words of Those Who Saw It Happen13 reviews, 2008 Contemporary Accounts, By the Participants What I loved about this particular book is that there isn't a historian in sight - nobody is writing it from the subjective slant of 50 (or 500) years' time - the accounts presented are from the diaries, letters and articles written by the people who actually took part in the events - a person on Columbus' crew, John Adams, the seconds at the Burr/Hamilton duel, etc. Spanning the time from ...             Egypt (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide)14 reviews Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2001 Eyewitness Travel Guide to Egypt Very nice -- as I have found most Eyewitness Guides.

They had previously published a score of smaller volumes on the subject of birds, but nothing quite like this: a definitive guide, as they claim. The book is best described as an encyclopaedia of birds. Measuring 30 x 25 cm (12" x 10") and weighing over 4.5 pounds, it has the ...             French Cheeses: The Visual Guide to More Than 350 Cheeses from Every Region of France13 reviews Kazuko Masui & Tomoko Yamada DK ADULT, 2000 WOW I collect field guides and what attracts me to some is the clever layout and design.
