A couple of titles are taken from mega-lists in existing torrents - thanks to the torrent uploaders. The rest are from various sources elsewhere and I thought it would be good to have all six "under one roof". Any more from anybody would be appreciated.

Atlantic: Great Sea Battles, Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms,and a Vast Ocean of a Million Stories

Winchester, bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman, returns to the natural world with his epic new book, a “biography” of the Atlantic Ocean, from its origins 370 million years ago through the population of its shores by humanity and their interactions with it.

Krakatoa

Krakatoa, The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883, examines the enduring and world-changing effects of the catastrophic eruption off the coast of Java of the earth’s most dangerous volcano. Now available in a P.S. edition, providing readers with an additional 16-page section, offering a behind-the-pages look at both the author and the book.

The Map That Changed The World

The Map That Changed The World is the fascinating story of William Smith, the orphaned son of an English country blacksmith, who became obsessed with creating the world’s first geological map and ultimately became the father of modern geology.

The Fracture Zone

The Fracture Zone goes behind the headlines to offer a true picture of the Balkans, a region that has always been on the brink. Winchester’s remarkable journey puts all the elements together — the faults, the fractures, and the chaos — to make sense out of a seemingly senseless place.

The Surgeon of Crowthorne: A Tale of Murder, Madness and the Love of Words

The Surgeon of Crowthorne: A Tale of Murder, Madness and the Love of Words is a book by Simon Winchester that was first published in England in 1998. It was retitled The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary in the United States and Canada.

It tells the story of the making of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and one of its most prolific early contributors, Dr. W.C. Minor, a retired United States Army surgeon. Minor was, at the time, imprisoned in the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum, near the village of Crowthorne in Berkshire, England. The 'professor' of the American title is the chief editor of the OED during most of the project, Sir James Murray. He was a talented linguist and had other scholarly interests, and he had taught in schools and worked in banking.

Outposts: Journeys to the Surviving Relics of the British Empire

Outposts, Journeys to the surviving relics of the British Empire (ISBN 0141011890) is a book by Simon Winchester. It details his travels to each of the remaining dependencies of the British Empire and was first published in 1985. It was reprinted in 2003 with a new foreword written to address the changing political climate and attitudes in relation to the British Empire, in particular the hand over of Hong Kong to China.

The book takes on an elegaic tone as Winchester searches hopefully for remnants of imperial order, and as such marks a distinct period during Margaret Thatcher's government when a resurgence of British patriotism was mismatched to its still-diminishing former empire. This is particularly evident in his chapter on the Falkland Islands, which Britain had just defended from an Argentine invasion in 1982.
