Brazil: Amazon and Pantanal (Travellers Wildlife Guide)
David Pearson, Les Beletsky
Chastleton Travel, 2005
good reference for specific ecosystems
I used this book for a recent trip to Brazil's Pantanal. The book is specific to only two geographic areas: The Pantanal and the Amazon, admittedly, Brazil's biggest natural draws. However, since the Pantanal and the Atlantic rainforest were my destinations, the book's ...

Traveller's History of London (Traveller's Histories)
Richard Tames
Chastleton Travel, 2006
A Bit Confusing
This book covers all of London history from the Romans to the Dockland development in 200 pages. So it isn't surprising that it was sometimes hard to follow. Matters were not helped by the fact that the author chose a hybrid theme/chronological narrative structure ...

Geoffrey Smith
Chastleton Travel, 2005
Almost as good as a trip to actual museums
This book is a delight! The author makes no claims on being an art expert, but he is knowledgeable enough to make each entry fascinating. I dream of one day travelling to London with this book in hand to see my favorite pieces. I have discovered several artists new ...

Traveller's History of Italy (Traveller's Histories)
Valerio Lintner
Chastleton Travel, 2007
Good background for those who know nothing about Italian His
It's a lot of information to absorb, but overview of the development of modern Italy is interesting. As someone who knew little of the history of Italy, the book enriched my travel experiences in Italy. The timelines are a good reference. There could be better ...

Travellers History of India (Travellers History of)
SinhaRaja Tammita-Delgoda
Chastleton Travel, 2007
A succinct and compelling history of India
After reading V.S. Naipaul's "An Area of Darkness" about his first journey to India, I felt that I needed a more balanced view of the country. This book was just what was called for. "A Traveller's History of India" was written by a historian from Sri Lanka with an ...

Paris by Metro: An Underground History
Arnold Delaney
Chastleton Travel, 2006
Loaded With Trivia, But Not Trivial
Delaney's Paris By Metro is nothing short of an etymological delight! The book has a brief description of EVERY Paris Metro station and although it checks in at only about 70 pages it is loaded with information.
I've been to Paris several times and using the Metro ...

Better than Baedecker for the wine student
