Complete guide on the northern part

We used it during our holiday on every outing and it gave us interesting background info. It is not easy to find info on the northern side of the island, so if you vacation there, it is a good source of travel info.

This area is not as well known as popular destinations to the north and south.  So this is a good introduction, specialized to the region.  I liked that it included a lot of details about so many little towns and tourist sites.

I was staying in the area for several weeks and found this knowledge useful.  But also, after several weeks I saw that there were plenty of useful details which must be out of date since they were just plain wrong.  Nothing that would ruin your visit, but considering my copy is dated 2009 I didn't think there was much excuse to leave out useful resources like ATMs, currency exchange, internet access which have been there for years.  I might have easily gone right past them to ones that were much farther out of my way. I should mention that none of these are common here yet.

Also, the guide to Tikal is well out of date, which is unfortunate since this is the most popular site in the whole area.

But I still recommend it to someone who is spending significant time in the area as I was.  For others, I might consider a more comprehensive and up to date book even if it is not specific to this place.

This book was a great read, especially For anyone really seriously into getting into the Northern Tradition. A must have book to add to your collection.

This is a great guide for a visit to the Antarctic peninsula ....it provides basic information on all of the species we saw plus just enough history to make this book really valuable for a traveler. And it is compact and easy to pack !

Dr. Little has covered North American mounds better than any other guide that I know of to date (last 30 years)... I've been to a couple of dozen of his listed sites and feel that he has done a great job with photos and illustrations.
My only complaint is that the beautifully illustrated site reconstructions by Dee Turman do not have reference to map North... shadows give hints but this would greatly help in figuring sun angles, etc.
This is great help in my travels as I have I've dowsed sites in a dozen states and find subtle dowseable energy lines that often point to solar and star alignments...very honorable to the First Nations people... a must have!

This book provides a wonderful look at the Campania region.  I bought it before a trip to Italy, and hoped to use it as a guide of the region that I would be visiting.  We stayed in Positano and visited a number of cities, including Vico Equense, Sorrento, Ravello, Caserta, Salerno, Minori, Vietri sul Mare, and several other small towns in the region.  The only thing lacking in this book is detailed directions to find the stores.  For example, we tried to visit a wine shop in Caserta that the book highly recommended.  Armed with two maps with printed directions from Google Maps and Microsoft Live Local, we still had no luck finding it.  It is very difficult to find a good map service of the area, and if this book would provide detailed directions to reaching these stores, a few maps, and maybe photos of the storefronts, it would be absolutely perfect!

I found this guide very informative on a recent visit to Taiwan.  The pictures are well done and representative of the sites.  Very helpful in choosing where to go.  A few basic maps would be helpful in the next edition, just to help orient to a larger scale map when walking about town.  Good work!

Very good info on the hikes of the Northern California coastal redwood area. Some of the longer hikes it was helpful to have another map. Everything I read was accurate in here, and helped me find some wonderful hikes. There is also some great info online, but you don't always have cell access and this book can be nice when you don't want to or aren't able to use the electronic resources.

I have been studying Norwegian for a long time, and Mr. Janus' book is one of the best I have found. It is easy to find answers to questions, and the verb list is amazingly complete and helpful. If you can't take an extended trip to Norway, and aren't blessed to live in Minnesota, then you should buy this book.

Having grown up in the Chicago area and having vacationed frequently in Wisconsin as a youth, there's no part of Wisconsin I haven't visited. However, a few years ago when my wife and I decided to take a trip to northern Wisconsin, we bought a Wisconsin Atlas and Gazetteer. This turned out to be a great boon to our explorations. This atlas show all the roads, including some that aren't much more than dirt paths as they wind through the backwoods. And it includes all the major topographical features, such as creeks, the tiniest of lakes, swamps, and the like.

Just returned from 3 weeks in Canadian Maritimes  It was an valuable companion. Never gave a bum steer, pointed out the essence of what not to miss, and let us to discover other things along the way. Don't reply on it alone but if you have map reading skills, ability to listen to the natives, & willingness to go for more than the main line attractions, it's a bargain!

Maps could be more detailed and cross referencing of places and locations would help.

Otherwise, order it today if you're headed to the NB, NS or PEI.

This complete, full-color, beautifully photographed book has finely detailed drawings too.  There are short-cut identification tables.  This is a text-book quality reference.  Very handy because it is specific to the Northeast "south to Virginia, north to Main and southern Canada, and west to Wisconsin."  The authors come with good credentials. (Printed by a division of Cornell University Press.)

Pretty extensive guide with great maps to show where all visible items are.  Only downside is some things the author leaves up to the reader to find out such as berry and mulch combinations, which would be super useful.  Doesn't delve too far into breeding techniques which are required for high end play.

I only explored a small part of the area shown on this map (the relatively well-traveled Blackstone Bay), but I found it to be quite good. Amazon's low-resolution images don't do it justice. Most readers will know to expect the usual topographic data: contours, creeks, glaciers, etc. Seafloor contours are also included, for good measure. As far as human features, it shows property boundaries (state, Native, etc.), hiking trails (yes! they exist!), anchorages, kayakers' beaches, public-use cabins, and more. (On Blackstone Bay, it showed most of the kayak beaches that our guide knew, but not "Mid-Glacier Beach" at the head of the bay.) It's as good as you can expect in this remote area.

Just mind the usual caveats for large-scale maps like this, and for travel in Alaska in general.

THE INSIDERS' GUIDE TO SEATTLE is a great guide to the city of Seattle and the surrounding area, including such neighborhoods as Central District, Alki/West Seattle, Queen Anne, Magnolia, Phinney Ridge, Capitol Hill, Ballard, and Madison Park/Washington Park/Madrona/Denny Blaine, as well as such suburbs as Kirkland, Bainbridge Island, Bellevue, Vashon Island, and Mercer Island, but for some reason ignores the northern suburbs entirely. The book includes complete guides to recreation, dining, nightlife, shopping, outdoor activities, sightseeing, and cultural attractions, as well as a fairly complete list of radio and television stations and newspapers in the area, but makes absolutely no mention of any shopping malls. Whether you're planning to move to the Seattle area, vacation there, or are just interested in different areas of the country, you'll want this book in conjunction with THE NEWCOMER'S HANDBOOK FOR MOVING TO AND LIVING IN SEATTLE.
