.The Traveller's Guide to Mars: Don't Leave Earth Without It by: Michael Pauls, Dana Facaros November 06, 1997 I brought this after reading Bill Bryson's comments in the New York Times and had a good guffaw. The authors, who usually write very irreverant guides about Europe, give Mars the same treatment-it not only makes science fun, but it makes you want to go to Mars on the next rocket out. Even my 11 year old has picked it up and used it for her science project at school. Pics are great too--altogether a fun little book! >>See More Reviews & Details on The Traveller's Guide to Mars: Don't Leave Earth Without It |

.Italian Riviera, 2nd by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls September 27, 2001 My wife and I bought all the guidebooks for the Italian Riviera and Liguria for our trip there March 02. The Cadogan guide was by far the best. The layout was easier to use and find info. The print was large enough to comfortably read while in the car going up and down the mountains. The historical capsules were brief yet informative. The pictures were few but good. After our first day or two, we dispensed with all the other guides and just used the Cadogan. BTW, Liguria (Italian Riviera) is far superior to the French Riviera (which is still a great place). Both have colorful histories and great scenery. The Italians are a bit friendlier, the hills there steeper and more dramatic. Most important is the contrast in small village ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Italian Riviera, 2nd |
