.The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World 2008 (Complete Guide to Walt Disney World) City Travel Guides > Books > General by: Julie Neal, Mike Neal December 15, 2007 I'm a long time Disney World visitor and I've read just about every Disney guide available. In fact I'm the author of a guide called Walt Disney World® with Disabilities. In my opinion, what makes The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World so unique (in addition to the photos) is the level of detail the authors go into for many of the attractions. They do an excellent job of giving you a sense of what the experience will be like, and they accomplish this with an obvious passion for Disney. Throughout this book you'll find some great tips. For example they often share the best places to sit on rides, and best locations to view fireworks, parades and shows. The writing style is conversational, descriptive and fun to read. You'll ...

.A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail (Official Guides to the Appalachian Trail) City Travel Guides > Books > General by: Bill Bryson May 04, 1999 Having spent many nights on the AT and the surrounding towns I found this book delightful. It's full of great snapshots of life under the canopy, trudging up and down the muddy trail, encountering people who seems equally strange to you as you do to them. Bryson brings his experience of living abroad and the subsequent well-honed observational skills to the simple act of walking and being part of nature. A fun, thoughtful and well done book. >>See More Reviews & Details on A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail (Official Guides to the Appalachian Trail) |

.Blood River: A Journey to Africa's Broken Heart City Travel Guides > Books > General by: Tim Butcher October 01, 2008 This book is a good reminder of how the bottom of the bottom billion survive, and the importance of a minimal level of governance. Nonetheless, the author overdoes the comparisons with pre-independence Congo. Although the colonial masters undoubtedly lived well, life was far from a bed or roses for the masses--the fact that Belgium invested so little in basic services for the Congolese, is one reason the country is still a mess, even as many African countries are now rapidly advancing. >>See More Reviews & Details on Blood River: A Journey to Africa's Broken Heart |

.Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains City Travel Guides > Books > General by: Jon Krakauer May 19, 1997 I was impressed enough by INTO THIN AIR, his '97 account of the previous year's Everest climbing disaster, that picking up a used copy of EIGER DREAMS was a done deal. I didn't pay enough attention when buying it, however( at a local used bookstore) to learn that it was a compilation of climbing-related stories he'd previously published in 'Outside', 'New Age Journal' and 'Smithsonian'. I have nothing special against collections of previously published work. If I haven't read the material, what's the difference? But, as a writer myself, they always make me nervous somehow. Maybe it's the image of the writer badgering his agent about getting the cash flow flowing again and the agent placating him with, 'Why not pick some stories that aren't doing ...

.River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze (P.S.) City Travel Guides > Books > General by: Peter Hessler April 25, 2006 Peter Hessler is today a well known American correspondent and free lance journalist living in Beijing. He has written two books and many articles on modern China and can be defined ad an "Old China hand", an honorary title given to Chinese speaking foreigners who truly understand the country, which even in this era of globalization knows how to keep many of its secrets. River Town was published in 2001, after a two year experience (1996-1998) as a Peace Corps English teacher in Sichuanese Fuling, a city on the Yangtze River that has since been transformed by the Three Gorges Dam activated in 2003. The book is a Bildungsroman or better "Bildungsmemoir" centered on the relationship that builds up between a man and a country. Even ...

.Italianissimo: The Quintessential Guide to What Italians Do Best City Travel Guides > Books > General by: Louise Fili, Lise Apatoff September 02, 2008 I can remember traveling to Italy when the dollar was strong and the lira was downtrodden. Trading dollars for lira was quite the jolly experience --- at the currency exchange in Rome, you practically needed a shopping bag to carry a few hundred dollars in Italian money. Now the Ferragamo is on the other foot. The Euro reigns supreme, and here in New York, the best restaurants and shops post their prices in dollars and Euros, for the convenience of our currency-advantaged foreign guests. For the foreseeable future, Americans --- well, my friends and I, anyway --- might as well not have passports. But if you think I'm going to say that my expedition to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx is as satisfying as dinner in the Roman ghetto, ...
