.Lonely Planet Syria & Lebanon (Lonely Planet Syria and Lebanon) (Multi Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lebanon
by: Lara Dunston; Terry Carter

July 15, 2008
The new July 2008 edition has just reached me. It's a great advance over previous editions (see other reviews on this site). Many text-boxes and references to more specialist guides have been added. Everything has been updated and substandard accommodation deleted. It's very compact, light and easy-to-use - except for the street maps. These seem more difficult to read than ever! Extra plans showing the layout of ruins and of some museums are great. However, the prices given for flights and accommodation are already well out-of-date. Judging by the introductory sections, the guide was completed in about February 2008. Lonely Planet needs to speed-up its printing schedule, although I'm sure the Chinese printers were not to blame for any delay. ... Read More:

.Saha: A Chef's Journey Through Lebanon and Syria
City Travel Guides > Books > Lebanon
by: Lucy Malouf, Greg Malouf

November 15, 2007
Beautifully created book that would do any coffee table proud. Having said that, it also works in the kitchen for cooks and chefs that are confident, adventurous and able.

Having had the pleasure of dining at Greg Malouf's MoMo Restaurant in Melbourne, I am aware of the love and affection he infuses in each dish he creates. This love of food and the culture associated with it comes across in every page of this book. The book is a treasure trove for cooks who like to experiment and step outside the everyday. The Pomegranate dressing is sublime on barbequed meats, the grilled sardines with lentil tabbouleh is exquisite and the zucchini and mint fritters to die for. I have cooked them all and enjoyed +++

This book is a testament ... Read More:

.Inside Lebanon: Journey to a Shattered Land with Noam and Carol Chomsky
City Travel Guides > Books > Lebanon
from: Monthly Review Press

July 01, 2007
Inside Lebanon: Journey to a Shattered Land with Noam and Carol Chomsky collects the gathered insights of Noam and Carol Chomsky during the course of their visit to Lebanon in May 2006 - only two months before Israel initiated a new military campaign against Lebanon and Palestine. Other experts such as Assaf Kfoury, Irene Gendzier, Hanaday Salman, Rasha Salti, and more also contribute their insights into the troubled region in separate essays. Context from both before and after the 2006 war, as well as background and framework information surround this harsh yet illuminating criticism that denounces cruelties committed by the United States and Israel as thoroughly as it condemns terrorist acts such as the September 11th attacks. "According to Bush, any state that ... Read More:

.Hedonist's Guide To Beirut 1st Edition (Hedonist's Guide to..., A)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lebanon
by: Ramsay Short

March 08, 2007
This is a useful accompaniment to any trip to Beirut, and at the moment is about the only guidebook available. American embassy staff commend it. Be forewarned, however, that my one attempt to use the maps led to a memorable adventure with a series of Beirut cab drivers, one of whom did eventually find Centrale, the restaurant I sought, but no thanks to the book.

.Lonely Planet Lebanon
City Travel Guides > Books > Lebanon
by: Ann Jousiffe

1998-02
Having travelled a lot using the LP guides with no problems I can only recommend them... but even if your not planning a trip to Lebanon- this book is amazing as a reference to the region; making order out of the chaos of Lebanon's recent history in an unbiased and moderate historiography- unswayed by religous or cultural persuasion and remaining sensitive to Lebanon's unique history of generally fruitful co-existance and co-operation between some 15 different religous/cultural groups who inhabit and interpret such a dramatic and tiny country, especially in a region characterised by the sometimes not-so-happy collision between east and west. This is an extremely valuable guide for travellers, people with an interest in the Mediteranean and the Near East, or for that ... Read More:

.Beirut's Memory
City Travel Guides > Books > Lebanon

2003
I received the book in a couple of days. This is a truly amazing pictoral journey of the transformation of Beirut by Mr. Hariri. The qulaity of the paper, clarity of the pictures and a brief history of the rebuilding is outstanding. Hundreds of before and after pictures of just about every building from practically the same angle is maticulously documented. I strongly recommend this book and this seller. Thank you Mr. Antoine!! Thank you Mr. Trawi and to Mr. Hariri an eternal thanks..May you rest in peace.
