| Lets Go: Costa Rica (Saint Martin's Press Inc., ISBN: 9780312360986) Completely revised and updated for 2007, "Let's Go Costa Rica" is the only choice for the budget traveller. Researched and compiled entirely by students who know first-hand how to see the world on the cheap, this guide has insider tips and information for the socially conscious traveller and is more useful and opinionated than ever. Though it covers only 0.03 per cent of the world's territory, Costa Rica is home to six percent of its plant and animal species. From perfectly camouflaged vine snakes to Jesu Christo lizards that "walk on water" in fantastic 50-yard dashes, many Costa Rican creatures come off as natural performers, and there is something decidedly exhibitionist about their homeland as well. The terrain challenges visitors to find something that it doesn't have: volcanoes, jungles, beaches, hot springs, coral reefs, hidden caves, and lush deserted islands all lie within a day's (or even an hour's) travel of one another. Costa Rica might entice you with the convenience and flashy superlatives of its tourist industry, but its more informal moments a sudden jungle rainstorm or an unexpected roadside chat are those that will probably end up capturing your heart. This title includes: detailed maps listings at all price levels for accommodation, food, attractions and more; information on working, studying and volunteering in the region; and, time and money saving tips. more>> | |

This guide has insider tips and information for the socially conscious traveller and is more useful and opinionated than ever. With its lavish chateaux, fields of lavender, medieval streets, and sidewalk cafes, France rightfully conjures any number of postcard-ready scenes. From their pungent cheeses to their elaborate fashions, the French have the original je ne sais quoi. It makes their pastries impossibly intricate, their cuisine exquisite, their craftsmanship impeccable, and their wines divine. Centuries-old farms and churches share the landscape with inventive, often stunning, modern architecture; street posters advertise jazz festivals as well as Baroque concerts. Even the countryside ranges from the misty islands off the coast of Brittany to the dazzling turquoise waters of the Riviera to the giant lava needles of the Auvergne. France promises to be a fantastic experience for the most urbane city-phile and for the most adventurous outdoor enthusiast alike.

| Lets Go: Germany (Saint Martin's Press Inc., ISBN: 9780312360702) This book is completely revised and updated for 2007, "Let's Go Germany" is researched and compiled entirely by students who know first-hand how to see the world on the cheap. It has insider tips and information for the socially conscious traveller and is more useful and opinionated than ever. Forged from dozens of squabbling principalities in the 19th century and rebuilt after two World Wars and 50 years of political division, Germany is a nation where thousands of different mindsets peacefully coexist. Roman ruins share the horizon with glass-and-steel corporate headquarters and, while grim-faced, punctual businessmen and traditional country-folk are going to sleep, proudly assertive gay communities, and party-happy youths are emerging ready to dance the night away in one of the many clubs. The landscape is also hugely varied with snow-capped Alps in the south, sandy beaches and mud flats in the north, and windswept heaths, sprawling lake plains, and castle-dotted river valleys falling in between.

This guide has insider tips and information for the socially conscious traveller and is more useful and opinionated than ever. Hawaii has been billed as the American tropical paradise since the 1950s. The beauty of the trails, verdant wilderness, and cliffs of Kauai the oldest and arguably most majestic island is unrivaled. And between them the other islands offer some of the most beautiful drives in the world, National Parks galore, volcanoes, surfing, pristine beaches of white, black, gold, green and red sand, not to mention the glamorous clubs and free beach side hulas. Even without the historical temples and palaces to see, the legends to imbibe, the waves to boogie board, the bays to snorkel in, and the whales to watch, the quintessence of Hawaii's appeal may still be that accessible, yet exotic, tropical paradise: part of the US, yet decidedly un-American.
