.Getting Stoned with Savages: A Trip Through the Islands of Fiji and Vanuatu
City Travel Guides > Books > Vanuatu
by: J. Maarten Troost

June 13, 2006
Maarten Troost is a wonderfully talented author. He writes so colorfully, interestingly and humorously. It was a real treat to read this book. I also read his other book, "The Sex Lives of Cannibals," and I loved that book, too!

.Kava: Medicine Hunting in Paradise: The Pursuit of a Natural Alternative to Anti-Anxiety Drugs and Sleeping Pills
City Travel Guides > Books > Vanuatu
by: Christopher S. Kilham

June 01, 1996
This book gave me the comfort level and impetus to try Kava as a cure for my chronic insomnia. Previously I read and tried melatonin, with no success.

He said you will get the fastest and most powerful effects with this tincture, especially ... Read More:

.Vanuatu & New Caledonia (Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Vanuatu
by: Jocelyn Harewood, Tione Chinula, Vincent Talbot

July 01, 2006
I used this guide for travel in New Caledonia, so my comments don't apply to the Vanuatu section.

I was very disappointed in the quality of information presented in this "completely" rewritten edition. Most historical, political, or other contextualizing information is now gone (I suppose due to space constraints?). Some descriptions were oddly incomplete. For instance, the guide did not specifiy how long a certain hike might take, or how far you would need to walk in what sort of conditions.

Since this edition is both a guide on Vanuatu and on New Caledonia, the index and other shared sections of the book are extremely confusing to use. It was not always clear which country a particular entry or health comment was talking ... Read More:
