Lots of excellent experiments........2000-08-16
As many educators agree, "Conceptual Physics" is an excellent book. And this accompanying book is very useful for especially teachers. Very well explained experiment settings are easy to implement, and they really support the students in their learning process. I have been using the book for one year and seen the positive effects of it on my students' conceptual learning of physics. Highly recommended.

Book Description
Pollen and spores are ubiquitous, and preserve exceptionally well. This, with their great structural diversity, offers exceptional opportunities for integrating findings from studies of both recent and fossil material, and for developing new insights into pathways and processes of diversification. This volume brings together novel approaches from such diverse fields as palaeobotany, ontogeny, molecular biology, and systematics. Three main issues are discussed: the evidence provided by the fossil record, the contribution of ontogenetic data, and methods of systematic analysis. The information provided will be of great interest and relevance to such disparate disciplines as vegetational history, geology, plant taxonomy, and plant evolution.

Michelin Green Guide Spain
Customer Reviews:
Good guide to Spain.......2006-07-30
Always been impressed with Michelin guides even though the newer versions are heavier on graphics and pictures than the older versions. This particular issue on Spain appears to hit all the high points and hopefully give enough of a background to have a good time when visiting.
Impressive.......2006-06-14
I bought this book and thank goodness I didn't read the reviews first. First, I have to give it major points for being in a slim format, far and away preferable to other bulky travel guides. Slim however doesn't mean lacking in content. Primarily, this guide is about the sights. It gives you history, context , and culture to the things you will see. It also tells does a great job in explaining travel logistics. It also rates sights through a three-star rating system making it easier for you to prioritize things on a short trip.
The main shortcomings are the non-existent discussion on how to get around using public transportation (this is Michelin after all) and the scandaluously limited lodging and eatery options. You must be good with maps for this guide to be fully useful to you because that's how sights are organized, and I don't mind that at all. I recommend getting this book in tandem with a guidebook that focuses in on budget travelling.
Michelin Green Guide Spain.......2006-06-09
I have several Michelin Guidebooks and recently purchased the newest edition of the one on Spain. This book is a real disappointment and I hope it does not reflect the approach that Michelin is taking to their other guidebooks. I have a 1982 edition of the Michelin Spain green guide and it is far superior to the current larger edition. The previous layout and design is superior and lists a larger number of cities and towns with comments. For a person who is driving throughout a region, the previous editions provide a more thorough and organized approach. It was far more easy to navigate. Since 1982 to the present edition is a long time, I am not certain when Michelin decided to change their format. The current book lists many cities alphabetically and not by region (i.e., Alicante is not in the section on the Levant or Costa Blanca and it is difficult to find that region in the index). If you have access to earlier editions, I would not spend the money on the current guide. Maybe Michelin forgot to survey their readers to find out how they appreciated the previous guidebooks and they would have continued what was a tried and proven format.

Customer Reviews:
Spain--in alphabetical order.......2007-07-05
I used this book in 2005 to visit Madrid/Toledo/Segovia/Seville/Granada and Cordoba and then again in 2007 on a 10 day trip through Galicia. The book's main advantage is that towns/cities are in alphabetical order, so info is easy to find.
However, I find the text lacking in sparkle--a bit too dull.........It was my #3 choice for information. (I also had the DK guide and the Rough Guide)
The size and shape of this book make it easy to carry during the day, but most of the time, I carried the DK guide!!
Fantastic travel guide.......2006-03-24
As expected from the Michelin Green Guides series, this one too is a wonderful travel companion. Accurate and up to date, covers all important milestones and goes past the shallow surface barely scratched by other travel guides.
This Michelin Green Guides is the best available, if you're going to travel to Spain don't leave home without it.
Book Description

GREAT GUIDE.......2007-08-24
Michelin is always a great source of reliable and comprehensive information. I like plenty of details so I can make my choices as I go, review my plans, envision and compare options in my mind.
Many guides in the market just give the author's picks or are excessively opinionated (e.g. Rough Guides). It is rare to find deep and well-informed text, a good understanding of the local culture, off-the-beatten track sites. Andalucia can't be visited in 1-2 days, and is incredibly rich and complex; seeing a few great places just off the hotel gives too little, considering how much is there.
This guide is very good. The text is perhaps too wordy in some places, but recreates well the landscape, traditional architecture and cultural vivacity of this fabulous region. It is not the best from Michelin, but is a great start.
I prefer this 1st edition to the second, where there was too much editing, especially cutting text. And, surprisingly, nothing new, less content and more pages! All in all, I'll keep my old and good first edition.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Guide.......2003-02-11
If you use this guide for what it was intended (a sightseeing guide for people with relatively limited time in Spain), it is excellent. On my last trip to Spain I used it as my main tool for deciding what to see (the star ratings really help you to prioritize), but I didn't even consult it when deciding where to sleep or eat. My recommendation is to use this guide along with another one that is loaded with painfully detailed hotel, restaurant, and price information, but doesn't really help you decide what to see with your limited time (e.g. Lonely Planet).
My only real complaint was that I thought that, generally speaking, the guide's star system for rating sights/attractions underrates Spanish attractions relative to those in other countries. For example, cities like Caceres, Ronda, and Cuenca would surely get 3-star ratings if they were located in France or especially the United States, instead of Spain. Overall, I guess I felt that the raters were relatively "harsh" when assigning stars to attractions in Spain, when I compare this guide to some of Michelin's other guides for other countries I have visited. The nice thing is that when you visit "two-star" sights in Spain, expecting to see what you would normally see in a Green Guide two-star sight elsewhere, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
Save your money and don't buy this horrible guide.......2002-05-29
I bought this book but didn't have time to read it until I was on the plane -- my mistake in buying it in the first place -- there are so many other great guides that do such a better job than this ridiculous guide -- the maps are horrible, the entire book is superficial in it's descriptions and the restaurants it recommends were all recommended by other guides -- as if they had plagarized the lists of places to go. Save your money!
