71.A History of Wales by: John Davies January 25, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.89 You Save: £5.10 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.03
This is a brilliant book on the history of Wales. Not only does it tell the story of the Welsh, it also helps people understand the relations with the English and compares it with the Irish and the Scots. Brilliant book worth reading...

72.The Annals of Imperial Rome (Classics) by: Cornelius Tacitus July 26, 1973
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.99 You Save: £4.00 (36%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.22
This is a must for history students and buffs alike. In fact is is a great read full stop! Many books of this genre are dry but Tacitus takes you there and his commentary is both concise, and at times caustic and witty.

73.Byzantium: The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire by: Judith Herrin April 03, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.94 You Save: £4.05 (37%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.75
By taking a thematic approach to the Byzantine Empire, Ms Herrin illuminates some interesting areas. However, you will need to have some background of the history of the Empire if you are to properly understand the points she makes. John Julius Norwich's 3 vol history is the perfect place to start.

77.Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs: Official Companion Book to the Exhibition by: Zahi A. Hawass September 01, 2005

If you have been to or going to the exhibition at the 02 this is basically the identical book (same ISBN) as they are selling in the gift shop for £35.00. The only difference is that the Amazon one does not have the Omar Sharif audio disk included and it has a different slipcover. In my opinion the audio is great when you are actually walking round the exhibition but standalone it is of no great shakes. This book is a great souvenir of the exhibition, maybe not the most educational but beautifully photographed, would grace any coffee table! Save your cash go to the exhibition and buy the book on line!

I received this book only a day or so after ordering it here on Amazon, and began it that very evening..... I have found it hard to put down, and thoroughly recommend it, I shall finish it by tomorrow, and then my daughter is going to read it. She is learning all about Hitler and world war2 for G.C.S.E's, but not enough is taught regarding the Jews and what happened. This book should be read by all children, to help them realise how lucky they are not to have to experience such horror, and to feel and empathise for what really happened, and to stop it ever happening again. This is an amazing, inspirational and terribly moving insight into a young Jewish girls experience of living through World war 2 in Poland. I cried, and also am filled with admiration ... Read More:

I was a total beginner in terms of knowing about the Spanish Civil War and came across this little book in the local branch of Blackwells. As an introductory text, it is superb, the layout of each chapter indicating the main themes which may further be explored. The author first gives an overview of the origins of the war: the dying colonialism of Spain's Imperial past, the consequent loss of status and role for the officer clas, the rise of a new industrial class, the increasing influence of the professions, all of which came to challenge the traditonal grip of the church and the big estate owners. The author then situates these political and economic changes within the context of the wider European struggles following the first World War, particulary ... Read More:
