5 star book about James Cook

Revisado: 10-24-22

I love this book. Excellent history and superb reading performance. The book focuses on the 1st Pacific journey of James Cook. Only a brief overview in the epilouge of the 2nd and 3rd journey. Story ends with Elizabeth Cooks final days. This is a 5 star book in every way. I love Michael Carman's reading. He is the perfect voice for this book.

Golden Horde complete history, well done

Revisado: 03-10-22

The information in this book is great. The author goes into great detail into the beginning created by the death of Genghis Khan and splitting of the country amongst his sons, through the end of the Golden Horde in 1504. I think the author's ideas on the the foundation of the of the many cultures that the golden horde influenced is very well researched and makes very good sense. The narrator is sometimes hard to follow. She has somewhat of a droning voice. Once you get used to her dictation it's a little easier to follow along. If you are a history buff trying to compile a library of Asian history, I would strongly recommend this book.

Great information

Revisado: 02-19-22

Story has a lot of great information. Complete and well studied timeline of the years immediately following Alexander's death. The narrator's speed makes it hard to follow him most of the time. He reads fast.

Revisado: 02-12-22

This is a well written book with great information. Unfortunately the narrator is not so good.He has a droning voice that makes it hard to follow the story. I had to repeat sections multiple times.

complete central steppe history 1500BC-430CE

Revisado: 02-04-22

I was very pleased with this book and will keep it as a treasured part of my library. The author goes from the early Andronovo 1500BC to the final days of the Alans as they absorb within the Vandals of northern Africa in 430. Great detail of culture, religion, government structure, military achievements and migration. It covers Eastern Asia including Xiongnu, Tocharians and many cultures I had not heard of before. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in early central Asian history.

a library must have

Revisado: 01-24-22

Excellent book. A complete history, not only of Vasco de Gama, but of Portuguese history in Africa and India. Don't stop before reading the epilogue. This book is an important piece to my world history collection.

History following Genghis Khan

Revisado: 12-23-21

This is a great book that follows the history of Mongolia after the last of Genghis' son's Kublai Khan. It was a great history of the rebuilding of the Mongol Empire and the involvement of the queens of Mongolia.
