1.		Ecological Imperialism: The Biological Expansion of Europe, 900-1900 (Studies in Environment and History) from Cambridge University Press Price: $56.00 Customer Review: This book sets out what Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies does, but in a less original way. It basicaly sets up a straw man by claiming that most people think Europeans conquered the New World and Oceania through weapons but in fact they were 'biologically' programmed to win. This... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492 (Contributions in American Studies #2) (Contributions in American Studies) from Greenwood Press (CT) Customer Review: The Columbian Exchange, by Dr. Alfred W. Crosby, as the title suggests, Crosby's work explains that the most influential aspect of the "discovery" of the "New World" in changing the paradigm of the "Old World" was not the economic ramifications or even the establishment of the United States, but... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		America's Forgotten Pandemic: The Influenza of 1918 from Cambridge University Press Price: $68.00 Customer Review: Like another reviewer here, I'd say that unless you're looking for tables and statistics, you should get "The Great Influenza" by John Barry instead of this book. Also like that reviewer, this is not a knock on Crosby at all, but a tribute to Barry. Barry's book really is an incredible work by any... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492 30th Anniversary Edition from Praeger Paperback Price: $30.55 Customer Review: Slim though it is, this is a powerful little book. This insightful study of the biological consequences of the great culture clash that began in 1492 changed the way I think about history and has proved to be a valuable reference. It is a must-read for anyone interested in anthropology,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Measure of Reality: Quantification in Western Europe, 1250-1600 from Cambridge University Press Price: $22.49 Customer Review: An important consideration when reading this book is to remember that it is the third part of a trilogy, with the first two parts being (1) "The Columbian Exchange" and (2) "Ecological Imperialism." Crosby's case studies in this book on the development of quantitative thinking in Europe are... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Children of the Sun: A History of Humanity's Unappeasable Appetite for Energy from W. W. Norton Price: $17.96 Customer Review: As a short (167pp) and enjoyable history of the place of energy through human history, I can recommend Children of the Sun, by Alfred w. Crosby. This chronological survey of the subject -- spanning from the introduction of fire (at the time when yoga tights were made from mammoth fur) through the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Throwing Fire: Projectile Technology through History from Cambridge University Press Price: $26.40 Customer Review: Except for the part that is left out -- a rather important part, as it turns out -- Alfred Crosby's little essay on human action at a distance is an amusing, not entirely reliable assertion of one of those facts we all know but never perhaps knew we knew -- unknown knowns, as Don Rumsfeld might have... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
