.Living Poor: A Peace Corps Chronicle
City Travel Guides > Books > Latin America
by: Moritz Thomsen

1990-05
OK let me begin by saying that I have not volunteered yet, but I have been accepted, and I am going to Africa. I have done a substantial amount of research on all aspects of the Peace Corps, and what this book describes seems more like the recruitment of an assassin in the CIA, then joining the Peace Corps.

Problems With Book:

1) The Author describes his initial training in the USA. This is a falsehood. All current Peace Corps training is taken in the country you will be working in.

2) Every volunteer that I have talked to has said the training is intensive, but not too difficult. This book describes a Gulag where volunteers are pushed to the brink of insanity. Doctor interrogate you for hours to see if you ... Read More:

I literally got very similar information from an advertisers hand out at the Rio airport then I did this book. There are better travel guides out there specific to Rio.

.Top 10 Mexico City (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Latin America
by: DK Publishing

March 17, 2008
Nice little book for carrying around town. The top ten lists are pretty good for what they are -- top suggestions of what to see/do/buy/eat. If you want lots of history or detail, you'll need a fatter guidebook. Lonely Planet and Let's Go fit my style for a reference guide, but Fodor's or Frommer's may fit yours.

Good maps of the major places in the city, and a Metro map. If you follow this guidebook's advice to never drive yourself, the maps are plenty. You'll need to buy a more detailed map if you want to drive in the city.

.Oaxaca Journal (National Geographic Directions)
City Travel Guides > Books > Latin America
by: Oliver Sacks

October 04, 2005
This book has its own special charm. World- renowned psychologist and author Oliver Sacks takes a trip with members of the American Fern Society. He is an amateur here, but cannot conceal his respect for his fellow travelers, and his joy at being with them in the Mexican province of Oaxaca. Sacks describes his own childhood fascination with the work of Naturalists, and gives portraits of those avid students of specific botanical forms, those lovers of the smallest details of the natural world. For me however the Ferns and Sachs description were of secondary interest. I found his descriptions of his fellow travelers, his meditations on the history and culture of the area, his thoughts about himself and his role as perpetual single in a world of couples- ...
