.The Falklands & South Georgia Island (Regional Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Australia and South Pacific
by: Tony Wheeler

November 01, 2004
The Lonely Planet guidebook series is known for combining travel tips with cultural and historical education, and the Falkland Islands guide is no exception. The detail of this book is outstanding, and the stories it describes are very interesting as well - these little islands have played a larger role in world affairs than the uninformed would ever expect.

If you are buying this in conjunction with the Antarctica book, please note that this book is much smaller - but given the relative size of each landmass, the difference makes sense.

Beautifully done "coffee table" book. Nicely divided into the different areas/states of Australia. It's going to be a gift for my parents who will be traveling to Australia this winter. They'll really appreciate it when they get back as a pictorial memory book. Many, many photos. Gorgeous.

.NASA's Voyager Missions: Exploring the Outer Solar System and Beyond (Springer Praxis Books / Space Exploration)
City Travel Guides > Books > Australia and South Pacific
by: Ben Evans, David M. Harland

April 15, 2008
The book is an excellent overview of the Voyager missions sent to explore the largest planets of our solar system: Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus. The book gives a complete account of the spacecrafts' respective journeys and their discoveries but most important the author also brings up-to-date information that has been gathered since the Voyagers executed their fly-bys of those distant moons (information gathered via ground-based telescopes, Hubble and other spacecraft like Galileo). Although the Cassini spacecraft now orbiting planet Saturn will certainly add more information about the planet and its moons than the book contains, this work will remain as a true reference for a long time.
The books is solid account of what we know ... Read More:

.Vanuatu & New Caledonia (Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Australia and South Pacific
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:
