I minored in History in college and fully intended to teach it in combination with English until I hit Ralph Smith and Russian History. My interest in history is a little quirky as you will be able to tell by the titles:
History and Sociology
Ambrose, Stephen UNDAUNTED COURAGE--wonderful account of the Lewis and Clark
expedition
Durant, Will and Ariel. THE LESSONS OF HISTORY
Pipher, Mary. THE SHELTER OF EACH OTHER, REBUILDING OUR FAMILIES--wise advice about
community and family
ANOTHER COUNTRY, NAVIGATING THE EMOTIONAL TERRAIN OF OUR ELDERS--a
must read for children whose parents are aging
Pool, Daniel. DICKENS' FUR COAT AND CHARLOTTE'S UNANSWERED LETTERS, THE ROWS AND
ROMANCES OF ENGLAND'S GREAT VICTORIAN NOVELISTS
Shenkman, Richard. I LOVE PAUL REVERE, WHETHER HE RODE OR NOT." Myths and illusions
about American History. The first chapter on religion should be read by all
Christian conservatives.
Winchester, Simon. THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN, A TALE OF MURDER, INSANITY AND THE
MAKING OF THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY.
