Jack P. Greene

The University of North Carolina Press, 1988

Pursuit of a New Paradigm
Greene is on a mission to show that the South (especially the Chesapeake) represents the "normative" model of American development-not the New England model. To do so, he decries the standard "declension" model, based on the history of Puritan New England, and produces a "developmental" model that he proves was normative for all British New World colonies--here New England represents the ...

Here Shall I Die Ashore: STEPHEN HOPKINS: Bermuda Castaway, Jamestown Survivor, and Mayflower Pilgrim.

Xlibris Corporation, 2007

Delightful account
I've enjoyed getting to know this very interesting ancestor better. Somewhat amazed that the author isn't a fellow descendant: usually that's what motivates somebody to undertake so much loving effort. Johnson corrects the record without being unnecessarily nasty to some rather sloppy predecessors. And he labels his speculations carefully, without distracting from the remarkable story he's ...

Getting the most your tropical Holiday!
I bought this book as birthday gift for my son-in-law. I looked through the guide before I sent it to him. My impression was very positive, but no where near the rave reviews that Steve had for it. This guide to tropical fish should be a must for anyone taking a tropical vacation. Dick

Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery

Gian Quasar

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2005

A truly astounding compilation
After reading this book I can see why Quasar's research in another field has inspired a Congressional resolution. This is more than a book on missing ships and planes; it is a biography of the entire phenomenon, both the enigma, the reality of missing ships and planes and the often strange (though some mind-stretching) theories that many have put forward and that have become intimately linked ...

DK Readers: Bermuda Triangle (Level 3: Reading Alone)

Andrew Donkin

DK CHILDREN, 2000

Fun, informative book
We got our son a few of the DK Reader books for Christmas and he loves them. The Bermuda Triangle was a bit challenging for his reading level (should have stuck with level 2), but we both had a great time reading it together. It taught us both about what the Bermuda Triangle is, gave us a few different stories about ships and planes that had gone down in the Triangle and others who got out and ...

Glenda Bendure, Ned Friary

Lonely Planet, 2005

A great achievement for a small place...
The major obstacle which hinders the performance of Lonely Planet and other guidebooks is that they often try and cover a very wide country or region, such as "Lonely Planet China" or "Lonely Planet USA", not to mention things like "Lonely Planet Africa on a shoestring". This often means that, in over 800 pages of a bulky book, only few are really relevant to what the reader is looking for. ...

The best book on Bermuda that you can buy
My husband and I are taking a trip to Bermuda and my husband was looking for a good book with lots of colorful pictures. I wanted some history as well as good information on things to do. This was my husband's Father's Day gift this year and we are both enjoying the book. It is making us more excited about our upcoming trip.

Master Point Press, 2001

I loved it
The hands were not killers, just typical hands that any abover average player can handle. The pros can handle the pressure, and make fewer mistakes. But many of the hands they encounter are not the killers found in some of the hard Test Your declarer Play type books. Good hands, and fun to read. Good job, 2 thumbs up.

Henry Holt and Co., 2008

The Disaster that Made the Colonies
Looking back at history, it often seems as if there was some sort of destiny at play, as if things could not have turned out otherwise. That this view is deceptive is one of the lessons in _The Shipwreck That Saved Jamestown: The Sea Venture Castaways and the Fate of America_ (John Macrae Books / Henry Holt) by Lorri Glover and Daniel Blake Smith. Tiny contingencies can make huge differences, ...

Fodor's, 2009

Good book, lots of information.
If you're like me, you had already decided you were going to Bermuda by the time you bought this book. That made the part of the book that described the hotels not worth much too us, since we had already booked our hotel. But I will tell you that the restaurant guide alone is worth the price of this book. It details a lot (not all) of the restaurants in Bermuda, gives you an idea of the pricing ...
