.Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings: Evidence of Advanced Civilization in the Ice Age
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Charles H. Hapgood

1997-01
This book is worth keeping for the pictures alone. At least my copies have color and do look like coffee table books. I do not want to argue valideties. That is up to the author. But there is no other book that really covers the Piri Reis map. It seems to have disappeared form the Internet. I have been able to find a few other references now and then like other people mentioning that fact that Columbus did have a map case of sorts.
The story goes that the crew was not afraid if falling off the end of the earth but that Columbus was a poor navigator. All this flat earth stuff is much later than Columbus.

.To Mock a Mockingbird: and Other Logic Puzzles
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Raymond Smullyan

2000-11
After a disconnected array of logic puzzles at the beginning, the author embarks on an introductory course to combinatory logic. Given a little application (if you're like me you will need a pen and paper), you can get to grips with some of the fundamentals of mathematical logic with relatively little background. This is pretty astonishing.

The worst feature of the book is the fact that only one (unintuitive) model for the theory is provided. Discussion of the significance of the results obtained is not particularly useful - probably anyone smart enough to solve the puzzles will not find anything there that they couldn't figure out for themselves.

But nevermind: if you want a good introductory course in combinatory logic (or ... Read More:

.Streetwise Manhattan Map - Laminated City Street Map of Manhattan, New York: Folding Pocket Size NYC Travel Map with Integrated Subway Lines & Station
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Streetwise Maps

2005-01
Lived there - loved it but I could have saved myself hours of wandering around lost with this in my pocket. Picked it up and reminisced about so many great neighborhoods and holes in the walls in Manhattan. It's a deliciously, culturally engaging place to visit but can be dauntingly intimidating if you're unfamiliar with the culture and lay out. Manhattan has it's own cadence and with this in your purse you can keep up and be confident you're headind in the right direction.
