That's Not in My American History Book: A Compilation of Little Known Events and Forgotten Heroes That's Not in My American History Book: A Compilation of Little Known Events and Forgotten Heroes : books american history fun reads history history book nonfiction

1 recommendation

"A quick, easy, and very interesting read. You can skip around as each chapter is another story. It covers some things you may already have heard, such as the Paul Revere ride (not exactly true) and Betsy Ross (she probably didn't sew the flag, sorry.) But there's some really cool stories here that you've never heard. Did you hear the one about the Polish immigrant who probably built, and fle..."

"See the World is from the Icon series of paperbacks. It has no words or introduction; just images of advertising used in the 40's and 50's by airlines urging people to try out the latest form of transportation to see exotic locales. It also contains advertising images for bus, train and shipping companies. Gives a very good feel for the time, and the embrace of a global world by aspiring grap..."

"Think you know the difference between natural and organic? Think corporate farming and organic produce the same results? After reading this book I felt like I had just completed a college course. It's now listed among the top 20 most important books I've ever read... and it's (believe it or not) entertaining."

"H.G. Wells is best known for his science fiction (e.g The Time Machine, War of the Worlds), but he also wrote a comprehensive history of the world around the time of WWI. I read this a few years ago and was really impressed with how he explains history in terms of themes (e.g nomads/settled peoples, priests/secular kings). Even if you don't want to take the time to read the whole thing, this i..."

Even though this was recommended highly to me, I had a hard time starting it because of the term "history" in the title. After finishing it, I felt it would more appropriately go in the "science" category, but don't let either of these terms turn you off. Though you'll learn many facts (and theor..."
