.The Imagineering Field Guide to EPCOT at Walt Disney World: An Imagineer's-Eye Tour
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
by: Imagineers

2006-06
Full of fascinating little nuggets about EPCOT. Did you know that the interior of the 'Impressions de France' restaurant in EPCOT is modelled on Edouard Manet's 'A Bar at the Folies-Bergere', right down to the uniforms of the waitresses...this book is full of such titbits, and contains architectural drawings, including pictures of attractions that were never actually built. My only complaint is that it's a very small book and doesn't do the artwork justice...and it does feel a bit like a brochure rather than a book: I got fed up with the hyperpole and certain phrases being endlessly reused - things are never improved in Disney parks, they're always 'plussed'. After a while, you do feel you're reading a corporate mission statement, not a book. ... Read More:

.Rome: The Biography of a City
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
by: Christopher Hibbert

October 15, 1987
Hibbert's history of Rome, from Romulus to Mussolini, is an excellent introduction to the events that have shaped this incredible city.

This is not a history of the Roman Republic, Empire, Papacy, Renaissance or Risorgimento. Instead the focus remains fixed on the city of Rome itself: its buildings, reputation and inhabitants. Its streets and piazzas have witnessed so many of the crucial moments in these states and movements but Hibbert's work ventures away from the city walls only for a full introduction to events within.

The history adds an additional element to any visit to Rome, not only providing a history of the major landmarks but also helping the visitor imagine the city in lost eras. The only major improvement needed ... Read More:
