Predators of Southern Africa.......2000-01-09
This is a great guide for those who don't have the expert knowledge on carnivors. It gives a simplified summary of the predators enabling the reader to understand and gain some knowledge about the individual animal. Ryan Grobler, son of Dr Hans Grobler

Very useful.......2007-09-01
I bought as many books on Fiji as I could before my trip and I found this to be the most useful and user freindly. I thought it was better than frommer's, my old go to for travel. Now I'm using the Lonely planet series.
Amazon.com
From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there, chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globe-trotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has the experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money. Find out where to dive, snorkel, surf, or kayak--and how to choose among Fiji's 300 islands. More than 40 sidebars provide tidbits on topics ranging from shark-calling and temples to racial issues and boiled bat. Discover these islanders' customs, ceremonies, and traditional arts. Also provided are useful sections on Fijian and Fiji Hindi languages. --Kathryn True

Customer Reviews:
a good intorduction.......2006-03-20
i bought this book to help me get aquainted with fijian culture before i travel there this coming fall. I plan on living there for awhile so this book was really helpfull in a quick introdutory course on what fiji is all about.!
Needs to be updated.......2005-05-01
The facts, figures, and prices in this guide need to be updated. But if you choose to go to sketchy Fiji, then you need to be armed with something. If you take the tourist shuttle from the airport, the tour bus to the Yasawa Flyer, go straight to a resort (I use this term loosely) on the outer islands, then you'll probably love Fiji. Should you go off the beaten path and anywhere near Suva in particular, be very alert. Your wallet & purse are on the radar. One thing LP doesn't relay...Bula (hello/welcome) literally translates to one of the following: 'Come see my shop.'...'Taxi! Taxi!' or 'Let my cousin show you around'. 'Traditional Fijian warmth' unfortunately has become directly proportional to how much you spend.
Better than nothing.......2004-09-07
I've now read this book pretty much cover to cover and am really un-impressed... it mostly just provides a listing of places with some details... facts and figures... there are no real opinions, recommendations, or even suggestions.
It doesn't have much of an overview section that compares the various chains and lists advantagages, disadvatages, differences, overall feel which is what I really need.
I'm try to plan a honeymoon in Fiji and don't really feel much further along except now I know some of the options.
The Frommer's book on New Zealand on the other hand has been wonderful.
Lonely Planet does it right again!.......2002-11-15
Get this guide if you're goin' 2 Fiji! If you're thinking of the Mamanucas go to Tokoriki!
I loved it!.......2001-11-10
It was very helpful and easy to follow. Not having travelled to Fiji before. This book prepared me in so many ways, from accomodation to places to visit and also giving me some idea on how much money I should take there. I would have been totally lost without this book. I recommend that you get it if you're planning to visit Fiji.

Product Description
Countless reefs, walls and pinnacles painted in a patchwork of soft corals secure Fiji's reputation as the soft-coral capital of the world. The 332-island archipelago offers remote, pristine sites, thrilling drift dives and more than 1000 tropical fish species.Feed hungry reef sharks at the Supermarket, pay a dental visit to the cleaner shrimp or seek sanctuary in the sun-dappled Alacrity Rocks. From the snowy slopes of Great White Wall to the teeming depths of the E6 seamount, this book highlights 74 of Fiji's best dive sites, with full-color photos.
Customer Reviews:
Forget Snorkeling Info.......2003-12-18
I bought this book primarily because I am going to Fiji in two months and wanted info on snorkeling. Boy was I surprised to find only half a page devoted to snorkeling. The rest of the book is a brief description of various dive sites.
The book does have nice pictures and basic information regarding the more popular dive sites in Fiji. But as a snorkeling reference, it is worthless.
For Scuba Divers Only.......2003-08-23
This is an attractive book which the scuba diver will want to order. It maps and describes 74 of Fiji's top dive sites and the color photography is excellent. Despite the title, however, those interested in beach-based snorkeling will find little of use here as almost all of the sites included are accessible by boat only. Even the new Waitabu Marine Park off Taveuni is mentioned only in passing. There's virtually no practical resort or restaurant information, and the first quarter of the book is devoted to brochure-style hype you can read on almost any Fiji website. Critical reviews of dive facilities are strikingly absent, so this book is of no help in selecting a specific scuba operator. Five pages of listings in the back of the book provide basic contact information, but even this is out of date as all Fiji telephone numbers have increased from six to seven digits since the book was published. Most of the email addresses are also wrong, so substitute @connect.com.fj whenever you see @is.com.fj. Nevertheless, when one considers the cost of a scuba tour to the South Pacific and the lack of any alternative Fiji dive guide, all of the above criticisms are mute and serious divers will click this title straight into their shopping carts.
Lacking basic information.......2003-04-07
This book is seemingly a compilation of dive locations frequented by dive resorts, with little independent research or reviews of specific dive outfitters. The book lacks basic information on water temperatures, currents, winds and seasonal influences. The independent traveller primarily interested in snorkeling will also be disappointed in the lack of practical information on the best sections of the main islands for shoreline snorkeling.
a must buy for Fiji.......2002-11-15
Simple no-nonsense guide to diving in Fiji
This is THE current book on Fiji diving (no pun intended...).......2000-12-29
"Ni sa bula vinaka", as it is said in Fiji. As a master diver who has dived since 1956, and has visited many of Fiji's dive sites, I can heartily recommend this book to anyone contemplating diving Fiji. The Mahaney - Witte team- authors, photographers and dive tour guides well-known and respected in the diving community- are knowledgeable and credible. Mind you, NO book can ever catalogue ALL of Fiji's diverse and innumerable dive sites... but this book is well planned, has a very good selection of sites- rated for conditions and experience levels- and information for the would-be Fiji diver. The book has some maps, and a visual feast of photos. In summary- going to Fiji to dive? Be prepared for stiff currents, and a kaleidoscope of colorful fishes and soft corals... and BUY THIS BOOK! Dive well and safely.

Limited and outdated information in a handy size........2000-12-29
As a master diver who has dived over 40 years and has visited many of Fiji's dive sites, I would advise any potential diving visitor to save their money here and buy the newer and much more complete Lonely Planet "Diving and Snorkeling Fiji" by renowned dive guides Casey Mahaney and Astrid Witte (also available on Amanzon). Just be aware- Fiji has so many and varied dive sites visited by day operations and liveaboards NO book can really do justice comprehensively. Nope, no connections with LP or Mahaney, I just want to save other divers the trouble... and if you love diving, you will LOVE Fiji diving!
Mediocre Basic Guide to Fiji Diving.......1999-07-24
This book gives limited information on approximately 20 dive sites in Fiji. The descriptions and photos are adequate, but are relatively brief. The book makes few recommendations, but provides a decent place to start rough planning of an independent dive vacation.

a sequel that actually lives up to the first version.......2003-12-19
Most sequels, in any media, do not live up to their predecessors. This is not the case for this beautiful sequel to the wonderfully crafted children's book by Margy Burns Knight. The author has obviously researched exensively over the walls that she presents in both volumes and yet she presents such complex histories in understandable ways for your children, then offering a more technical, academic compendium for students with more interest. A wonderful way to start a social studies unit with an item that every child living everywhere can relate to: walls.
