Book Description
High hills, rolling uplands, steep escarpments, swift-flowing streams, stately homes and humble dwellings draw visitors to the Cotswolds, one of Britain's most celebrated regions. Now it's your turn. The journey starts in the university town of Oxford, with its awe-inspiring medieval towers, and ends in the elegant resort city of Bath. Along the way, travel to the area's best-known sites, and also uncover its secret, secluded gems. From village to village, a visual harmony reigns, thanks to nature's gift of limestone, which brings honey-colored beauty to both the landscape and the architecture. From the overarching rainbow-filled sky in Belas Knap to the well-tended cottages of Bibury, it's a trip you'll never forget...and one you'll want to take often.

Great maps and history.......2000-05-23
My Husband, children and I traveled through the Baja Penisula for a month earlier this year and we used the maps and information found in this guide. The full-size very detailed maps were more useful than other maps that we brought along. The book listed destinations(and historical facts on these destinations) in the order you would normally travel through them if coming in from the North and also includes recommendations for excellent dining locations and incredible little known sites that we never would have found. We could have made the trip without the guide but it made it easier and more enjoyable.

Great guide to Rio.......2001-04-23
I had about 20 different guide books to Rio to choose from. I picked this one because because it covers just about everything that a visitor needs to know. The pictures are also beautiful and really gives you an idea of what to expect. I can't think of anything that was missing. I recommend that you read it twice. Once when you first get it and then again about a week before going to Rio. Take it with you too ....
Great Pictures, Not A Lot of Travel Info.......2001-04-14
As an avid reader of the Insight Guide series, I was inclined to purchase the "Insight Guide to Rio de Janeiro" as I plan my upcoming trip to Brazil. Although it does not contain a lot of travel information that would be relevant to travelers, the book does contain a lot of history and photographs on Rio de Janeiro and it's surrounding area. Starting from it's Amerindian beginnings, and then moving on to the Portuguese colonial era, and finally into the history of modern Brazil, this guide explains Rio's many landmarks, place names, and everyday life.
Full of colorful photographs, which gives the reader an idea of how "cariocas" (residents of Rio are known by this term) look like. If you are in search of info that will really assist you in planning your trip, such as hotels, restaurants, clubs, embassy/consulate info, and emergency numbers, then I highly recommend Lonely Planet's Guides to Rio de Janeiro and/or Brazil. Both books have a lot of important information, which is a Lonely Planet trademark, and they are handier to have around when in Rio and Brazil. The "Insight Guide to Brazil" will probably be an interesting book to read during your flight to Brazil.
Overall, this guide is an excellent book for those who enjoy reading more about history and culture.
Shallow.......1999-09-21
This book has pretty pictures, nothing else. I just spent a month in Rio, and it was just dead weight carrying it around. It has no detail, and no specifics. Get the Lonely Plane Guide for Brazil, and it will give you everything you need to really have fun in Rio--I used it every day to plan what I did.
Good book. Pricey recommendations. Good background........1999-02-08
This is a very interesting book, with good pictures and excellent stories and background. Recommended places are more oriented to the well-to-do tourist, so accomodations, etc. not useful for the budget traveller. But worth it for the playful and educational stories.

Book Description
"Fifteen-year-old Jimmy hasn't seen his father, Crab, since he was a baby. Myers artfully and gradually reveals the truth about Crab: he's been in prison for the last nine years but is now critically ill; he has escaped in order to clear his name and earn his son's love and respect. This is one of Myers's most memorable pieces of writing." -- Copyright © 1992 The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
