Re: [Evolution] This one freezes beta one



Bo:
(1) Ideally, you'd open up a bug about this :)
(2) if you can't/won't open up a bug, please attach the actual HTML
email, since the text email won't freeze evo.

NEW AND NOTABLE
***************
"John Adams"
David McCullough
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684813637/ref=del_193210
Interest in David McCullough's "John Adams" has taken the
bestsellers lists by storm this summer. McCullough writes that Adams
was "not a man of the world" and not fond of politics. Nevertheless,
he came to greatness as the second president of the United States
and was one of the most distinguished of a generation of
revolutionary leaders. Overshadowed by the lustrous presidents
Washington and Jefferson, who bracketed his tenure in office, Adams
emerges from McCullough's brilliant biography as a truly heroic
figure--not only for his significant role in the American Revolution
but also for maintaining his personal integrity in its strife-filled
aftermath.

"No Peace, No Honor: Nixon, Kissinger, and Betrayal in Vietnam"
Larry Berman
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684849682/ref=del_193210
So how did the Vietnam War really end? The account that Larry
Berman provides is much different from the one that Richard Nixon
and Henry Kissinger wanted history to believe. In "No Peace, No
Honor," Berman, the author of two previous books about the Vietnam
War, "Planning a Tragedy" and "Lyndon Johnson's War," uncovers new
evidence that reveals what really happened on both sides of the
secret negotiations that finally led to the end of one of the most
painful periods of American history.

"Dr. Johnson's London: Coffee-Houses and Climbing Boys, Medicine,
Toothpaste and Gin, Poverty and Press-Gangs, Freakshows and Female
Education"
Liza Picard
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0312276656/ref=del_193210
Liza Picard follows up her delightful "Restoration London" with
another equally engaging look at 18th-century everyday life in
London. "Dr. Johnson's London" is an encyclopedic examination of
what life was like 250 years ago for both the haves and the
have-nots of London society. Whether it's the kind of underwear that
men wore or the trial procedure of London courts, Picard leaves us
with a vivid glimpse of a time that in some ways is not that
different from our own.

"The True Life of Johann Sebastian Bach"
Klaus Eidam
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0465018610/ref=del_193210
This engagingly eccentric biography by German playwright and
television scriptwriter Klaus Eidam knocks off the dust that
accumulated around Johann Sebastian Bach by generations of writers
more concerned with their own musical, religious, or political
theories than the particulars of the composer's life. Eidam has as
little use for Marxist scholars declaring Bach "the musician of the
Enlightenment" as he does for their precursors, who declared the
composer to be so devout that he viewed his art only as a means to
praise God. His aim is to restore Bach to the general public as a
musician first and foremost, well-versed in the techniques and
instruments of his day, deeply immersed in his artistic goals.

"Here: A Biography of the New American Continent"
Anthony Depalma
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1891620835/ref=del_193210
How is it that three countries, founded at about the same time on
the same continent, could have evolved to be so different from one
another? That's what interests New York Times reporter Anthony
DePalma, and in "Here: A Biography of the New American Continent,"
DePalma looks at the differences that make Canada, the United
States, and Mexico seem like they're worlds apart.


COMING SOON
***********
"Wild Blue: The B24s Over Germany, 1944-45"
Stephen E. Ambrose
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743203399/ref=del_193210
Stephen Ambrose traces the history of the B-24 during World War II
through the experience of former senator and presidential candidate
George McGovern.

"The Best of Times"
Haynes Johnson
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0151004455/ref=del_193210
Washington pundit and social commentator Haynes Johnson takes a
sweeping look at America during the Clinton years.

"Leavenworth Train: Bitter Justice in the Vanishing West"
Joe Jackson
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786708972/ref=del_193210
Joe Jackson recalls the waning days of the Old West and the life of
Frank Grigware, who in dramatic fashion escaped Leavenworth in 1910
and was hunted by the FBI for the next 20 years.

"Affairs of Honor: National Politics in the New Republic"
Joanne B. Freeman
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0300088779/ref=del_193210
If you think politics today is a nasty business, Joanne B. Freeman
will tell you that not much has changed. "Affairs of Honor" is her
look at the code of honor that governed the political combat of our
founding fathers.


THE MODERN LIBRARY CHRONICLES SERIES
************************************
"Islam: A Short History (Modern Library Chronicles)"
Karen Armstrong
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0679640401/ref=del_193210

quick overview of the Catholic Church through the ages, you
