Mein Kampf, the autobiography of Adolf Hitler, provides a peek into the mind of a man who single-handedly managed to change the course of history, wounding the psyche of a people for generations to come and marring the memories of a race for all of time. This elegant hardbound edition comes with a gold-foiled cover, gilded edges, and beautiful endpapers. A historically relevant book that gives excellent insight into the maniacal ideologies and visions with which Hitler shook the world, Mein Kampf is an exploration of the Holocaust from the other side of the genocide, from Hitlers perspective. One of the most widely published, circulated, and read books in the world, Mein Kampf is at once a chilling, a revealing, and an intriguing foray into the inner mental mechanics of a man whose legacy continues to weigh down history even today.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning view of the continent, across the fortieth parallel and down through 4.6 billion years
Twenty years ago, when John McPhee began his journeys back and forth across the United States, he planned to describe a cross section of North America at about the fortieth parallel and, in the process, come to an understanding not only of the science but of the style of the geologists he traveled with. The structure of the book never changed, but its breadth caused him to complete it in stages, under the overall title Annals of the Former World.
Like the terrain it covers, Annals of the Former World tells a multilayered tale, and the reader may choose one of many paths through it. As clearly and succinctly written as it is profoundly informed, this is our finest popular survey of geology and a masterpiece of modern nonfiction.
Annals of the Former World is the winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction.
