|  | Philip of Spain by Henry Kamen
A biography of the 16th-century Spanish king. Philip II was one of the greatest figures of Spanish history: a staunch Catholic who brought the weight of his office to bear against the northern Protestants, a patron of the arts, a master diplomat, and a soldier who conquered Holland and tried to invade Britain when their alliance collapsed. Kamen provides an exhaustively researched account of Philip`s life, the first new biography of him in over 20 years. AUTHOR: Henry Kamen

 | Swingers & Crooners by Leslie Gourse
Jazz singing, though new in the twentieth century, has very old and mysterious roots. It originated in part from the work songs of slaves, the gospels and spirituals of African-American churches, and the blues. These influences reflect hard times in America`s past, but the music that has emerged has brought a sense of joy and empowerment to many people. AUTHOR: Leslie Gourse
