.Galapagos Wildlife: A Visitor's Guide (Bradt Travel Guide Galapagos Wildlife)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: David Horwell, Pete Oxford

August 15, 2005
Took this book with us on our recent trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos. Really useful, packed with loads of background natural history info & great pictures, and helped us get far more out of our trip than we would have otherwise. Detailed information about all the landing sites. The book came home very battered as every passenger on the boat used it daily!

.Once Is Enough (Sailor's Classics)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Miles Smeeton, Smeeton Miles

2003-05
The Smeetons were a sailing couple of incredible fortitude and capability, here accompanied by the now famous shipwright and solo circumnavigator: John Guzzwell. This is Brigadier (DSO) Smeeton's account of two dimasting incidents whilst off Chile heading eastward for the Horn in the fifties on board 'Tzu Hang' the now mythical wooden Bermudan ketch. An account of Guzzwell's amazing improvisation skills under extreme adversity and Beryl's toughness and endurance. These three people epitomise the finest in fortitude, ingenuity and bravery. Every blue water yachting book of worth lauds these remarkable people and cites this tale in particular. Sheer inspiration.

.Mungo the Cameraman: Adventure, Celebrity and Extreme Travel as Seen from Behind the Lens
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Paul Mungeam

September 07, 2007
I haven't actually read the book,
but I've ordered it.

The reason I'm telling you to buy it aswell,
Is that I did a tv show with this Guy about a year ago
called Leave Us Kids Alone.

The man is legend.
His stories are even better.

.Coast from the Air
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Neil Oliver

October 04, 2007
One of my loves in life is aerial photography. The TV series was excellent so I had high hopes for the book. What a let down: how can the BBC put out such a poor product? The resolution and poor print quality does no justice to what could be great pictures. I suspect it was done to manage the publication costs, yet the book is not cheap. Avoid.

.Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Oz Clarke, James May

October 19, 2006
A very funny and highly entertaining program of well known wine expert
OZ Clarke and Jmaes May known form Top Gear, who together travels on a
wine adventure. James knows nothing about wine, but have chosen the car
for the adventure (of course an English jaguar) and is like a rebel
boarder school boy taught by the slightly older and more distinguished
Oz Clarke, who continuously tries to learn James about the different
wines and the impressions they make. It all turns into a lot of very
entertaining and very funny situations, filled with humour, and there
is a lot to learn and view, both from the more experienced and newcomer
to wine tasting, on this fantastic wine adventure filled taste -and ... Read More:

.Principles of Helicopter Flight
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: W. J. Wagtendonk

March 01, 2007
This book is the technical bible for aspiring helicopter pilots. It is essential reading for pilots studying for either a private or commercial helicopter pilot's license. It goes into more detail than any similar book, and the material is explained in a clear manner. Although the detail is more than would be required to pass a private helicopter license technical exam, the extra information presented is still useful and informative.

To sum up, if you want to to learn to fly a helicopter, read this book. The book won't just help you gain your license - one day it may save your life.

.Sandrine's Paris: A Cultural History of the World's Most Romantic City
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Sandrine Voillet

June 21, 2007
The television series was brilliant as is the book. Excellent illustrations and interesting commentary. The book provides an insight into Paris from an insiders point of view! As I am moving to Paris later this year I've found the suggestions for Museums and the information on culture truly fascinating!!

A must if you are interested in all things Paris.
