The Virginians
The Virginians: A Tale of the Last Century (1857-59) is a historical novel by William Makepeace Thackeray which forms a sequel to his Henry Esmond and is also loosely linked to Pendennis. It tells the story of Henry Esmond's twin grandsons, George and Henry Warrington. Henry's romantic entanglements with an older woman lead up to his taking a commission in the British army and fighting under the command of General Wolfe at the capture of Quebec. On the outbreak of the American War of Independence he takes the revolutionary side.

One Two Three . . . Infinity: Facts and Speculations of Science
One Two Three... Infinity, subtitled Facts and Speculations of Science, was originally written by George Gamow in 1947 and then revised somewhat in 1961 (unfortunately, George Gamow died in 1968 and it was the last revision). It's an amazing tour of some of the more interesting bits of physics, with a bit of mathematics and biology thrown in, covering in some depth many separate topics in under 350 pages.
George Eliot is perhaps most appreciated for her ability to synthesize moral and aesthetic concerns. This volume presents the evolving scope of Eliot's critical reputation, offering valuable insight into her classic novels including 'Middlemarch', 'Daniel Deronda', 'Adam Bede', 'Silas Marner', and 'The Mill on the Floss'. A chronology of the author's life, an index, and an introduction by esteemed scholar Harold Bloom round out this addition to the Bloom's Classic Critical Views series.
Considered by some as enchanting as a fairy tale and in some ways as simple in its approach, George Eliot's Silas Marner extends well beyond such a sphere. The text focuses on the evils of religion and society, both of which ostracize those they do not understand. Study the novel through the work of some of the most respected critics on the subject.
