5.		Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America's Energy Future from Mariner Books Price: $4.43 Customer Review: This book is very interesting once you get passed the introduction.

7.		Recreational Gold Prospecting for Fun & Profit from Gem Guides Book Co Price: $10.49 Customer Review: I can only give this book 2 stars. I was disappointed in that in presenting her information she had to resort to man bashing at every opportunity.

8.		Lost Mountain: A Year in the Vanishing Wilderness Radical Strip Mining and the Devastation ofAppalachia from Riverhead Trade Price: $5.00 Customer Review: ... and I still give this book five stars.

9.		Fire Underground: The Ongoing Tragedy of the Centralia Mine Fire from Globe Pequot Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Who could believe that this fire has been burning since before I was born.

Now billions are spent to re-locate what was once a town. A town built and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

12.		Deepwater Petroleum Exploration & Production: A Nontechnical Guide from Pennwell Pub Price: $52.39 Customer Review: The book was too short, too old, and too simple. Definitely not worth the price	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Epictetus: A Stoic and Socratic Guide to Life from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $39.49 Customer Review: I don't have much to add to the glowing reviews of this book. It's gracefully written, philosophically sensitive, and of manageable length. If I had any complaint, it's that the author, Berkeley prof A.A. Long, doesn't devote enough attention to the Stoic thinkers who preceded Epictetus. Instead, he... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The Battle of Blair Mountain: The Story of America's Largest Labor Uprising from Basic Books Price: $6.61 Customer Review: Rather than repeat the numerous errors cited by others, allow me to recommend When Miners March: The Story of Coal Miners in West Virginia, by W.C.

17.		Production Chemicals for the Oil and Gas Industry from CRC Press Price: $98.70 Customer Review: this book gives you a lot of information about the oilfield chemicals.

23.		Waterhole: How to Dig Your Own Well from Balboa Publishing Price: $12.00 Customer Review: This book is very interesting. I did not realize how old it is until I tried to find an auger.

27.		Goodbye Wifes and Daughters from Univ of Nebraska Pr Price: $15.38 Customer Review: I just finished reading "Goodbye Wifes and Daughters"; it was one of five books that I put aside for summer reading. I found the book to be very moving and sad. Once I started I couldn't put it down even as it got sadder and sadder by the page. The last time I had this experience with a book... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		Diamond: A Journey to the Heart of an Obsession from Walker & Company Price: $2.75 Customer Review: An in-depth chronicle of the inner workings of the international diamond trade.
