They were operating on an informed heart, on the Golden Rule, wanting to give aid to those who opposed the hated Fascists and Nazis as they would hope someone would help their own sons. And while the Allies were protected by the Geneva Convention should they be ...             Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks8 reviews Jeff Campbell, David Lukas, ... Lonely Planet, 2005 Lonely Planet Zion and Bryce Excellent book. My husband and I recently went on vacation to Southern Utah. We planned on visiting 5 national parks in Utah. I had purchased other books in addition to this one to prepare for the trip. I had no idea that this book would contain so much information about Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. It was far more than I expected from the title. It even covered Moab. We booked ...             The Last Grain Race8 reviews Eric Newby Lonely Planet, 1999 Exciting sailing adventure In 1938 Eric Newby was eighteen years old. He left a dead end job with an advertising agency in London and signed as an apprentice seaman on the four-masted sailing ship Moshulu for a trip to bring back a shipload of grain from Australia. Moshulu was one of a dozen sailing ships still engaged in the grain trade and the 1938 trip was destined to be the last of the merchant sailing era. Newby is ...             Bhutan (Country Guide)12 reviews Richard Whitecross Lonely Planet, 2007 An excellent guide for traveling to Bhutan! I bought this guide before my first trip to Bhutan, and it helped me immensely in planning my tour. It contains detailed information about the country--history, culture, geography, and facts for travelers. And it gives accurate information about the trekking routes and cultural tours. As is typical for Lonely Planet publications, this one is interesting and well written, and I found the ...             Myanmar (Burma) (Country Guide)9 reviews Robert Reid Lonely Planet, 2008 Best Guide for Visiting Burma/Myanmar There is no other guide which comes close to being as useful for visiting Burma, either as a first-time tourist or an veteran traveller. Its overall descriptions, information on transport, reviews of hotels etc are all generally reliable and up-to-date. The accounts of restarants in Rangoon however is probably somewhat dated, as the restaurant scene in Rangoon changes quickly and there are many ...             Lonely Planet Signspotting 2 : The World's Most Absurd Signs (Lonely Planet Signspotting)7 reviews Doug Lansky Lonely Planet, 2007 Great gifts! Lonely Planet Signspotting 2 : The World's Most Absurd Signs (Lonely Planet Signspotting) A gift for the person who has everything. Both of the sign spotting books by this author are fun, amusing and inclined to have readers looking for their own funny signs as they travel. These books are good for passing around or even "regifting" (if you are willing to give them up).             Bermuda (Country Guide)5 reviews Glenda Bendure, Ned Friary Lonely Planet, 2005 Worth its weight in sunken treasure I spent two weeks in Bermuda, and was very glad I brought this book along with me. I doubt very much that there are many interesting corners of the country that have been overlooked by the authors of this guide -- some of which I never would have thought to investigate had this book not alerted me to their existence. I especially appreciated all the historical and cultural details, and ...             Micronations (General Reference)6 reviews John Ryan, George Dunford, ... Lonely Planet, 2006 Why Kugelmugel? Because Round Is Free! Do not order this book if you are seriously interested in UN-approved micronations such as Liechtenstein, Tuvalu, or San Marino. Buy this book if you are interested in "countries" with self appointed leadership featuring a penchant for secession and zaniness. The people and places in this book are all real, and vary from slightly to extremely strange. Most of them are lovable loonies, but there ...             Indonesia (Lonely Planet Travel Guides)5 reviews Justine Vaisutis, Neal Bedford, ... Lonely Planet, 2007 Perfect Indonesia travel guide update Just received this brand new 8th edition of Lonely Planet's Indonesia. In one word: perfect! I read some chapters about Bali and Moluccan islands and every page is really filled with recent information, completely rewritten in the second part of 2006 by a professional team of specialized authors. Besides the wealth of practical travel information, much effort is taken to write about political en ...             Dublin (City Guide)5 reviews Fionn Davenport Lonely Planet, 2006 Handy, convenient and helpful I bought this guide and the Rick Steves book to plan my trip to Dublin. Both were very helpful, but I left Rick's book at home because Lonely Planet has GLBT info in it and has better maps. I used the maps a lot, both to find my way and also to get back on track when I got lost. A lot of the prices for things quoted in the book had gone up, but that's to be expected. I highly recommend both ...              search for books absurd, apennines, bermuda, bhutan, bryce, burma, canyon, city, country, dublin, general, grain, guide, guides, indonesia, last, lonely, love, micronations, most, myanmar, national, parks, planet, reference, signs, signspotting, travel, world, zion books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
