Lonely Planet Publications, 2005
Not up to LP standards
This book had a number of problems, including wrong address information for several sites, mislabeled maps, etc. The suggestions made were as per usual with LP guides, excellent, but when the map and direction goofs adding so much time in looking for things in the book or on the wrong streets, the ...

Paris: The Biography of a City 9 reviews Colin Jones
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006
Decent try but could have used more focus
This books greatest strength and weakness is that it is one of the most thorough overviews on the city of Paris history that has been written yet. Unlike many it goes into wonderful detail on the early years of Paris and the build up on the Isle de cite. One of the other drawbacks is that the ...

The Other Wind (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 6) 61 reviews Ursula K. LeGuin
Ace Trade, 2003
It's just sad that this is the last book...
Quite simply put, the Earthsea books are among my favorite stories.
This final (unless, as we're hoping, another one comes out...) book in the Earthsea series furthers the more poetic style LeGuin shifted to in Tehanu. The book concerns itself with a number of important philosophical themes but ...

Tuttle Publishing, 1999
penetrating

The book bears reading several times, and slowly. For practicing meditators, this book forges a ...
