Ghost of the Java Coast: (Saga of the U.S.S. Houston
Published in Paperback by Laura Books, Inc (June, 1974)
Average review score: 

Excellent memories of a fine ladys' final days.This is a very telling story of a fine ship and a magnificent crew. Mr. Winslow gives a very personal account of his tour on the USS Houston, the events leading up to his posting and the battles that led to her ultimate demise. His honest gut feelings toward his shipmates and superiors give a very accurate account of what the officers and men of the Asiatic Fleet went through during the early days of WWII when the Asiatic Fleet was the only hedge against the Japanese expansion. I am pleased to recommend this book highly to anyone who has an interest in this period of history.

Going Higher: The Story of Man and Altitude
Published in Hardcover by Little Brown & Company (October, 1987)
Average review score: 

Useful and EntertainingDr. Houston has written an excellent book on the effects of altitude on people. He reviews the history of mountain exploration, explains the physiological effects of the reduction of atmospheric pressure, and presents a practical guide for acclimitization to altitude. Whether you are going to ski in the Rockies or climb in the Himilayas, this is a useful and entertaining book. I also recommend "Altitude Illness" by Bezruchka
I found my copy of "Going Higher" in a bookstore in Burlington, Vermont. When I got home I discovered that it had been signed by the author!

The Golden Age of Chinese Archaeology: Celebrated Discoveries from the People's Republic of China
Published in Paperback by Natl Gallery of Art (September, 1999)
Average review score: 

Beautiful book and a big bargainThe paperback edition is unbelievably priced at less than $20 for 584 pages of high quality paper with every photo printed in full color. The editorial reviews says it all. But I just wanted to add that looking at the diversity of artifacts (many of which look surprisingly strange) in the early periods of China's history further I'm further convinced that the modern Han people came from the merging of many ancient cultures.

The Grandeur of Viceregal Mexico : Treasures from the Museo Franz Mayer
Published in Paperback by Univ of Texas Press (March, 2002)
Average review score: 

A MAGNIFICENTLY ILLUSTRATED BILINGUAL VOLUMEFor a considerable period of time the Mexican colonial period was viewed as a wasteland in the arts, a barren stretch awaiting the arrival of the Spaniards. Recent scholarship reveals that this was not the case. In fact, just the opposite was true as is showcased in this magnificently illustrated bilingual volume.
Displayed between these pages are eye-popping decorative and fine arts from the Mexican viceregal period (1521 - 1821). Included among the collection are paintings, sculptures, furniture, ceramics, metals, textiles, featherwork, lacquer, and books.
Five informative essays by Mexican and American scholars provide a backdrop for the arts of colonial Mexico, and extensive commentaries allow further exploration of individual pieces.
"The Grandeur of Viceregal Mexico" is an extraordinary volume shedding light on a previously little known segment of art history.
