This book offers a unique perspective on elephants.......1999-07-13

When thinking of elephants, Thailand is not the first place that comes to most people's mind. However, as described here, elephants have played a major role in Thai art and culture throughout history.The author draws upon 14 years studying & teaching art in Thailand to present this comprehensive view of the elephant in Thai society. She does well in combining art with the elephants' active ceremonial & working roles. Elephants are shown in many art forms including drawings, engravings, murals, sculpture & bronzes. Well illustrated in b/w, there is also a 16 page color gallery showing a great variety of art and architectural detail. The physical characteristics of the Thai elephant and its current endangered status are covered here as well. This book provides an excellent overall view of the elephant's central role in Thai life & culture.

Only a little helpful and the writing style could not be more annoying.......2007-09-21

I have always found Lonely Planet books to be helpful. This is by far the worst I have ever purchased. The maps were helpful but so were the maps we picked up at the airport. This book is inappropriate and overly effusive.

Most Lonely Planet books are written by people far more authoritative than this. They have either lived in those places or worked there for several months at a time. It seems like this writer just took a few trips to Istanbul with her friends and somehow landed a pretty sweet book deal. She barely touches the neighborhoods that are not the main tourist attractions.

As for the touristy areas, she may as well have been a writer for the Turkish Tourism Association. She gives very little history of the places she writes about and does not give a realistic take on them. For instance, she says that Topkapi Palace is so great that "tourist attractions rarely get better than this." What she fails to mention is that very little of the palace is left in its original state so you don't get a sense of palace life. The rooms are lined with shelves with old artifacts so it is essentially a museum in a palace. The Turkish government only let the palace become a tourist attraction bit by bit so this is to be expected. It is a great place but Maxwell hardly conveys that.

Also, she says that Ayasofya will take your breath away. This is the worst-maintained historical place I have ever seen. She fails to mention that there has been scaffolding in the dome for nearly 10 years.

Also, the ferry information she gives is wrong and we missed a trip to the Princes' Islands because of it.

Lastly, I don't think phrases like "wet dream" belong in a tourism book. What does that even mean anyway?

I am not saying Istanbul is not worthy of praise. It certainly is an amazing city in its fusion of East and West and I had hoped to be guided through it by someone who better understood that rather than a bubble gum fan. I honestly cannot understand how this book made it to publishing with its lack of detail and gushing style. I usually have far better Lonely Planet experiences. Hopefully the company will update this book with a new author soon who can give Istanbul the assessment it deserves.

A favourite guide for a favourite city.......2007-02-11

I love Istanbul, having lived there in the early 1990s. In 2005 I made my first return visit since then, and although I feel confident I know the city well, much has changed. This guide contained information which locals I stayed with weren't aware of, particularly public transport info.

My main criticism of LP books is that the maps are pretty useless, and this is once again the case. You really need to get a separate map f you are going to venture beyond the really well trodden path. (There are a couple of bookshops on Istiklal Cadessi that sell good maps).

I found the tone of the book suited me - it is enthusiastic about an amazing city, and the author certainly knows the place well. I don;t usually follow guide book suggestions for places to eat, preferring to discover those on my own. I am gald I allowed Maxwell to lead me to a couple of cafes and bars, however, as they were excellent.

I recommend this book for both the novice and experienced traveller to the city (which I don;t with all LP City Guides - some, like Paris, I think reather too basic for the experienced visitor to that city).

Functional.......2006-11-29

This book is already annoyingly out of date, but is still the best guide to Istanbul out right now. The prices are off and for some reason given in Euros, even though most places only want Turkish Lira. Maxwell's opinions are loud, even for a Lonely Planet guide, and I found myself disagreeing with a lot of them. Still, a good size to fit in your coat pocket while running around and discovering Istanbul.

Nice book, Great City.......2006-04-20

I am going back to Istanbul and Turkey for the fourth time. I am buying a copy of this after seeing the library copy.
Istanbul is fun! and this will help with a few details, like the ferry's up the Bospherus. Ignore the review saying Istanbul is not a cool place to go.

Lonely Planet Istanbul.......2006-01-31

This guide is loaded with information about Istanbul. I have found it very useful in planning my trip. i had at first bought another istanbul guide and found it to be really lacking in substance. Mostly pictures, not much text, lots of platitudes designed to dazzle you, and made of heavy paper that is a drag to carry around. the lonely planet guide is lightweight, informative, good maps, and enough pictures to satisfy.

Great Guide..........2002-01-01

This is a great and detailed guide to the classic land route, covers the area and the trip in outstanding detail, but at the same time does not try to force you to stay on a certain itenerary. Highly reccomended.

Very good, if..........2001-08-27

This book outlines an excellent journey from Istanbul to Cairo, with all the detail and information we expect from Lonely Planet. The only problem emerges if you want to take a different route than the one they've outlined. They make hardly any allowance for this possibility, and this is the book's fatal flaw. Use it as a suggestion book, as a guide; but consider buying a guide to the Middle East instead, and thus providing yourself with much more information on the places between Istanbul and Cairo, places you may want to visit even though they're "off the beaten track." For instance, with more information I chose to go South through Jordan, ferry to Egypt, and then go back North into Israel, ending in Jerusalem. This made sites such as Petra in Jordan and St. Anthony's Monastery in Egypt fit nicely on the itinerary, and for me ending in Jerusalem provided a more fitting climax. No one trip can fit everyone. Whatever your desires, consider a guidebook that presents more options. Make sure you include Istanbul, Ephesus, Damascus, Baalbek, Beirut, Petra, Jerusalem, Cairo. Strongly consider Nazareth, Haifa, Luxor, and Mt. Sinai. Have fun!

not bad.......2001-04-12

I used this book for Israel and Jordan. I liked the layout and found it useful. The entries for each country are basically abbreviated versions of Lonely Planet's single-country books. Instead of giving it five starts, I'm giving it only four because I usually found the city maps to be deplorable. These maps are more like sketches than real maps. The main problem is that all the city streets are not on the maps, and the steets that are there often don't have their names. This makes it impossible to orient oneself when lost, and it is very difficult to find something marked on a steet that has no name on the map and located amidst other streets that aren't on the map. I realized I was not alone in this appraisal when I went to the tourist information office in Eilat, Israel. I asked where a bicycle shop was and asked the man to show me where it was on Lonely Planet's map. He glanced at the map and had obviously seen it before because he gave a disgusted grunt and brushed the book aside saying, "That's not a map," and proceeded to give me verbal directions.

Travelling from Istanbul to Cairo.......2001-03-27

I have backpacked in this area extensively. Most of the guides I have used in the past weren't really that useful. I was therefore really surprised by this guide. I found it useful in Turkey, Jordan and Eygpt - detailing all the major sites (relatively in depth for a guide this length) and finding cheap guesthouses. It wasn't, however, very helpful in getting around - for example - the "travel agencies" recommended in Istanbul beyond being run by westerners for backpackers were much more expensive than any of the other local agencies. However, as I've never lived in any of those countries I can't really give a proper opinion beyond saying I personally found the guide helpful. On Israel it's a different matter - and I can only say well done to the writers - I didn't know you could find such cheap guesthouses in Israel, and I've travelled around the country quite a bit. I still use this guide when I travel here which says alot - especially seeing as I only bought the guide for its coverage of the neighbouring countries. All in all I recommend this guide and the route it contains.

quick guide to IstanbulI .......2007-09-28

I really liked reading the ideas that the locals have for some offbeat sightseeing, also liked the basic instructions for the hamams (which I'd love to do, but need instructions like this in order to feel comfortable enough to try.) I also liked the locals ideas regarding the best place to try for lokum, art, dining, etc.

read in bookstore, but not impressed, LP Turkey better.......2004-12-14

Evaluated this in bookstore, but the LP Turkey had a bigger section on Istanbul and seemed better to buy overall. LP Istanbul didn't attract me with its layout, when compared to DK Istanbul. I could get a much better "big picture" using DK. Tom is an authority on travel to Turkey, and I think his website does a much better job at showcasing his expertise than this book does--it's more dynamic, updated, has discussion forums.

On the fence.......2004-02-11

This is one of two books that my wife and I took with us for our week in Istanbul. The other being DK's Eyewitness guide. While we would call neither a difinitive guide, both were helpful. We found the Lonely Planet to be hit and miss. Practical layouts and maps were very helpful with key sights. We never would have found the crusader tomb in the Aya Sofya without it. Nor would we have thought to go to the Museum of Archeology if it was not for it's strong endorsement. The overview of the history was surprisingly in depth and very informative. And what to expect as far as the people and tips on bartering were dead on. The condition of the public restrooms (yikes!) was also a nice heads up.
However, if this is the most recent guide it is outdated. It mentions a book bazaar that has since closed when we arrived in October of 2003. This wasted a signifigant portion of our day looking for it. Also the restaraunt guide was frustrating. The Cozy Pub lived up to it's endorsement. Friendly folks who delighted in telling us the do and dont's of Turkish cuisine. We dined there three times. But the "five star" Sarnich restaraunt was the biggest dissapointment. Even though you could not beat the atmosphere (dining in a 1000 year old cistern)the waitstaff was rude and the food was just plain bad. I swear to god, french fries and frozen veggies with meat the size and hardness of hockey pucks with moderatley decent wine for two for a 100 bucks.

I do recommend this book but with the strong reservations mentioned. There were things that we found in this guide that were not in our other one and vice versa. But this is to be expected, since I have never relied solely on one book for any country.

Real men drink tea.......2003-11-02

It's more lively and entertaining (and cheaper) than the Blue Guide. Sometimes it tries too hard for laughs. I didn't notice any Turks amused at naive tourists drinking non-caffeinated apple tea instead of the hard stuff. Some of the penny-pinching Lonely Planet stuff doesn't make a lot of sense in country that is so cheap once you get there but so expensive to get to. It's full of interesting and practical information but the Blue Guide remains the standard reference for serious study (if serious study is what you travel for).
I'd recommend reading this before you go but carrying the Blue Guide with you at the sites.

Great reference book!.......2001-05-10

We found this book to be very useful before and during our first trip to Istanbul. It was a wonderful resource for hotels, museums, restaurants and other typical "touristy" stuff as well as cultural differences that we may encounter... maps were helpful as well.

A Package Tour in Book Form.......2000-02-14

If you are interested in seeing Istanbul beyond its tourist districts, buying Tom Brosnahan's book is a mistake. Although LP Istanbul covers Sultanahmet and its attractions in depth, the rest of the city is largely left out, and what is included is organized in a format that defies logic. If you are visiting Istanbul on a package tour you might find the book useful, but if your aim is to explore the nooks and crannies of the city I would suggest Eyewitness Guides' Istanbul. It's full of pictures and more expensive than LP Istanbul, but it is by far the most comprehensive guide to the city that I have read.

A map.......2002-10-17

This map is just too small. Names of most streets do not appear on it which makes it useless to find exacltly where you are. Additional information such as public toilets seem a good idea until you realized that you find them everywhere in Istanbul while according to the map there is only one place for the whole city! In conclusion I found this map useful only the first day as a reminder of the layout of the city and never used it again.

this is a wonderful map.......2000-06-30

This map was much, much better than any of the maps in our guidebook. It was easy to read, well laid out, and had every point of interest we were interested in clearly marked: mosques, museums, ruins, public transportation, Turkish baths, and even public toilets.

It's actually four maps in one: greater Istanbul, old Istanbul (most of the tourist stuff is here), the Topkapi Palace, and central Istanbul. It also includes a walking tour, an index, and a short Turkish-English glossary.

Don't go to Istanbul without it.

A good map, just a bit too small.......2000-03-16

This is a handy map of Istanbul, but unfortunately, it's lacking in size; If you're just visiting the centre city, it'll be great for your travel needs, but if you're venturing out of the city, it's missing a bit in that department. :o)

Book Description

Seeking Diversity is the result of watching, listening to, and learning from adolescents. It is also about a teacher, a learner engaged in the process of coming to know herself as a reader and writer in her own classroom. It is a chronicle of apprenticeship, where the students do astonishing things as readers and writers because their teacher believes they can, because she expects them to, and because she is right there beside themreading, writing, questioning, thinking, learning, and growing.

Linda Rief takes the philosophies and ideas of Atwell, Romano, Graves, Murray, Calkins, and the Goodmans and makes them her own. She adapts them to her classroom, her students, her style, her constraints and invites other teachers to do the same- stretch the ideas, make them theirs, but above all, trust the students.

Seeking Diversity is organized chronologically, following Linda and her students from September through June. Teachers will find especially helpful:

organization techniquesmaterials, the room, and expectations
ways of using life experiences and literature to immerse the students in meaningful writing and reading
evaluation beliefs and techniques that focus on process as well as product and on self-evaluation over outside assessment
portfolios from a range of studentswhat's in them, who chooses, and what they show us
a new look at art as an integral part of students' literacy
an appendix filled with handouts for both students and parents
numerous lists of best-liked books for individualized reading, reading aloud, and reading together.

Great for all levels of teachers.......2001-01-04

If you're looking for the perfect book for a new English teacher, this is it. But it's also great if you're looking for inspiration yourself -- and by no means do you need to be a middle school teacher to benefit from it.

My copy of this book is falling apart, because I have fled to it more frequently in times of woe than any other text on teaching. Nancie Atwell's In the Middle is also close to my heart, but Rief's book is more direct and less overwhelming and so more useful in emergencies.

I teach 11th and 12th grade English, but never has this kept Seeking Diversity from being useful, even though Rief is describing her middle school classes. The environment that helps students reach their potential is the same at almost all levels, regardless of who your students are, where they're from, or how old they are. (A qualifier: I know nothing about elementary education, and so won't presume to speak to that.)

If you're looking for lots of theory and post-structuralist analysis, this is the wrong book. But if you're after nuts and bolts, and lots of them, then Seeking Diversity is what you want. It's inspiring, empowering, and tremendously useful.

One of the classics.......2000-08-11

This is one of the books that turned my middle school language arts classes around. Through a blend of her refreshingly personal voice, liberal doses of her students' outstanding work, and the clear presentation of procedures and materials that help her organize her practice, Linda Rief offers a portrayal of her classroom that feels real to the middle school teacher. She is one of those teachers who knows how to take the sometimes nebulous philosophies of progressive education, clarify them, and put them into honest practice. There is nothing wishy-washy about her program. The work her students do is rigorous and, as evidenced by their powerful writing and artwork, highly successful. This is one of the books that makes you want the next school day to come so that you can rush into your classroom and start making changes and experimenting. I consider this, along with Nancie Atwell's In the Middle, as one of the classics in the field. We need more reading and writing teachers modeling their reading, writing, and teaching in this way. It is not only a how-to book, it is a book for inspiration.

Beyond the One Size Fits All Curriculum.......2000-08-03

In an educational world that demands conformity it is a rare treat to experience a teacher who celebrates the diversity and the gifts that each student brings to the classroom. Linda Rief knows the adoloscent mind, but more importantly she understands the heart of these ever changing students. The book opens with a realistic look at what her classroom is like - real voices of real students trying to find thenselves through reading and writing. It is the generous use of the students voices that made this book such an inspiration to me. In reading this book I was struck by the rigor in the curriculum. There is an abundance of reading and writing going on all of the time. The real difference is that the subjects and the books are chosen by the students. Engaging adoloscents with choice, time, responsibility and accountability all show her masterful understanding of this age group. She also reads to her students often and writes with them. It is this mentoring that I found to be the most valuable for me. Linda Rief is a writer showing others how she writes and struggles. It is this realness that adoloscents continue to crave in school. She is the true mentor and in her chapters on writing and reading she lays out a clear theoritical foundation for why she teaches this way. Once I read this there was no going back. In the chapters on reading and writing linda puts in many expamples of student work - and it is these examples that truely show the diversity that is smothered in many language arts classrooms. Linda Rief has a voice that speaks to the middle school teacher. She is in a real school and teaches real students. Hers is the voice of experience. This is very evident in the chapter where she explains that her students sometimes do read the same book or write on the same subject. Her understanding of the balance needed for students and for the curricular demands of the profession should pull in even the most reluctant middle school teacher. But always the balance is tipped in favor of the students need for choice, for exploration, for understanding, for real mentoring, and for the goal of being a reader and a writer for life. The book also contains a wealth of material in the appendices. These materials are a starting point for those teachers who see writing and reading as a mentoring. This is a must book for new teachers and a perfect gift for those teachers with more experience. This is a book that changed the way I teach and has helped me to look for the diversity and the heart of the adoloscent mind.

Wonderful Topic Poorly Written.......2000-06-19

The purpose of 'Seeking Diversity: Language Arts with Adolescents' is to educate teachers on how to teach literature. Ms. Rief's philosophy is to encourage students to interact with the literature and use it to better themselves. The students will respond with a multitude of responses.

Teachers should encourage individual response and recognize the responses will be different.

Although the philosophy is refreshing and positive, the text is poorly written and padded with excessive examples of student work.

If you are considering the book for your class or to read on your own, you will be disappointed.

Most authors, especially textbook authors, write in an organized fashion. Their goal is to educate the reader using themes which weave and flow through their text. This text contains no clear introductory paragraphs summarizing the author's goals. The inter-chapter text is random and disjunctured. There are no clear conclusionary paragraphs. Over forty percent of the book comprises copies of student artwork, essays, and notes.

Another irratating feature of the text is the excessive use of the personal pronoun 'I'. Although gramatically correct, starting every other sentence with 'I' quickly becomes boring reading. In the second paragraph of Chapter One, eight of the twelve sentences start with 'I'. The writing style remains the same throughout the text.

Remember, this text is meant to train writing teachers. Starting nearly every sentence with 'I' is a style of writing most teachers would steer their students away from.

Although the author is a highly credentialed writer, it is this reader's opinion, you should steer clear of this text.
