For us, best of the bunch.......2007-08-23

Using Amazon and local bookstores, I checked out all the recent Canadian Rockies guidebooks I could find before choosing this one. It has good explanations of geology, flora, and fauna found in this area. We took many of the suggestions for lodging, food and things to do, and was not disappointed with any. I'm not a hiker - I walk - so I can't judge the suggested hikes, with the exception of one, rated "easy" near Banff. Not easy. For un-hikers who want to "hike" I recommend Graeme Pole's "Walks and Easy Hikes in the Canadian Rockies". It rated the Banff walk as "harder" (that is the toughest of his ratings).

This guide is well-written and exceptionally informative to the insight of the country and it's culture.......2007-08-30

This is an amazing, thorough guide book to Alberta.
Alberta is the heart of western Canada, a place filled with natural wonders and enough adventures to last a lifetime. The unforgetable scene as the first flush of light hits Lake Louise. The thrill of uncovering dinosaur bones. The excitement of a small-town rodeo. Soaking up big-city culture. Marveling at the infrastructure around the world's largest known deposit of oil. Watching the northern lights sparkle across the winter sky. These and hundreds of other reasons make a vacation or permenant move to the prosperous province of Alberta an easy decision.

Sandwiched between the mountains of BC to the west and the prairies of Saskatchewan to the east, the landscape of Alberta encompasses a little of everything. The best known features are the mountains of the Canadian Rockies, which are filled with photogenic lakes and natural wonders made accessible by a well maintained highway network.
While the beauty of Alberta's defined landscapes is undeniable, so is the value of what lies beneath them-a supply of oil and gas that shapes the economy and has created a boomtown mentality not dissimilar to gold rushes of days gone by. The most important reserve is the Athabasca Oil Sands of northern Alberta, the world's single biggest oil reserve. At the reserve itself is the city of Fort McMurray, where the population has increased 2,000 percent in the last 30 years, but the wealth filters down to the the rest of the province, most notable to the two largest cities, Edmonton and Calgary.
Throughout the province, outdoor adventures, wide-open spaces, and accessible wilderness beckon, and big-city culture awaits when you come down from the hills. So whether your interests lean toward high peaks or high tea, you are sure to find plenty to suit you in Alberta.

I have several Moon Handbooks, and they are meant for backpackers and hikers. For that group, these Guides are very good. For others, like me, older and now reasonably handicapped, other guides are better.

Moon Handbooks Alberta .......2004-11-16

Moon Handbooks Alberta Including Banff, Jasper, and the Canadian Rockies is the ultimate overview for traveling within Alberta, Canada. This book contains 467 pages of travel information but is still small enough to tuck in a backpack for easy reference. Furthermore, this book has plenty of fairly detailed maps, complete with accurate distance scales, for easy travel planning or reference while you travel.

There are twelve chapters in Moon Handbooks Alberta: Introduction, On the Road, Calgary, Dinosaur Valley, Southern Alberta, West of Calgary, Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, Central Alberta, Edmonton, Northern Alberta, Resources. The introduction chapter contains an overview on Alberta and its various regions. This detailed information includes geology, climate, flora, fauna, history, economy, and the government of the province. The next chapter, On the Road, contains general information and contacts for outdoor recreation; arts and entertainment; accommodations and food; transportation; and information services within the province of Alberta. The Resources chapter contains further information on suggested readings and internet resources.

The rest of the chapters in Moon Handbooks Alberta focus on particular geographical regions within Alberta. The first paragraph or page of each regional section describes a little about the region. After this overview, individual sights, recreation areas, special events, accommodations, food services, information services, and transportation services are depicted in detail. Depending on the size and general amount of facilities in a given region, there may be only one or two entries per category or over a dozen. Each entry contains the location, contacts, costs, and a short paragraph description of the facility or event featured. Several black and white maps accompany each section, clearly marked with the various facilities described in that particular section.

Some facility or event categories are described in extreme detail. For instance, there are six pages about the Calgary Stampede held in Calgary every July. This mini-section reflects the history of the Calgary Stampede and then sets out the events, entertainment, food services, accommodations, and transportation services available during the ten-day event. Specifics such as costs and contacts are also printed under each entry.

Though some medium sized towns are described in Moon Handbooks Alberta, most of this book focuses on cities and larger towns. Thus, not every town in Alberta is discussed in this work. No doubt such a complete book would no linger fit so easily in a backpack for easy reference. Therefore, if you are looking for something to do or some place to stay in a small Alberta town this book will not detail these specifics. Nonetheless, the regional coverage of this work is such that there is probably a pertinent entry or two a short distance from most any small town in Alberta. In this way, entertainment, accommodation, and food are but a short commute away from anywhere in Alberta.

A comprehensive travel-guide book about Alberta.......2004-05-08

Recently, as I was searching the Internet for travel guidebooks that uniquely deal with Alberta, Canada, I was surprised to discover that my choices were very limited.
However, I did notice a travel-guide book now in its fifth edition, published by Avalon Travel, authored by Andrew Hempstead, entitled Moon Handbooks Alberta: Including Banff, Jasper, and the Canadian Rockies.

Hempstead is very well versed in the subject matter, having traveled, photographed and written about Alberta for many years. In fact, the first book he ever authored was on Alberta.

Turning to the opening pages of the guide, I knew I was in for a wealth of invaluable information, and without doubt I realized that the author really did his homework in providing his readers with countless tips.

The potential for exploring Alberta is unlimited, and unless information is carefully organized, it would be very easy to fall into the trap that many guidebooks slide into- confusion. However, such is not the case with this book.

What immediately caught my eye was that preceding the table of contents is a map page that clearly pin points the various geographical areas of Alberta with boxes telling the reader exactly where in the guidebook he or she can find out more about a particular destination. No doubt, this will save the reader a great deal of time and effort, if, for example, you are only interested in a particular areas of the province.

These areas are divided into nine sections: Northern Alberta, Jasper National Park, Edmonton, Central Alberta, Banff National Park, West of Calgary, Calgary, Dinosaur Valley, and Southern Alberta.
Following the map section is the usual table of contents, which mirrors these same locations and includes a very brief description of each.

Within the first fifty pages, the author incorporates an overview of early settlers, flora and fauna, history, economy and government, the people, outdoor recreation, and getting to Alberta and what to expect once you arrive.

The remainder of the guide- book effectively evokes the beauty of Alberta with its striking Rocky Mountain ranges, pristine glaciers, rushing rivers, magnificent lakes, and National Parks as Banff, Jasper, and Waterton Lakes. As the author states in his introduction: "for most visitors to Alberta, the great out-doors, not the big cities or the fast bucks, is the main draw."

Each chapter contains detailed information about the history of the area, sights, attractions, parks, scenic drives, recreation, accommodations and camping, food, information and services, and transportation.
Interspersed are a selection of black and white maps and photos providing a good sense of the places described.

Throughout are also interesting tidbits replete with invaluable information contained in side- bars or boxes. For example, Jasper has 100 residential homes offering accommodations, or there are dinosaur digs that you can participate in at the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology.
Moreover, wherever practical, phone numbers, hours of operation, price ranges, and addresses are mentioned.

The concluding chapters of this hefty book provide the reader with suggested readings and Internet resources.

For the serious traveler to Alberta, this well researched and well-organized guide will prove to be an invaluable aid, particularly for those individuals who want to learn more about the history, geography and culture of this beautiful province. It certainly goes beyond the usual boring guides that devote a great deal of ink to tourism, hotels, restaurants and shopping, and entertainment, although the guidebook does nevertheless provide ample information pertaining to these topics.

Book Description

Stunning mountains, alpine lakes, shimmering glaciers, and abundant wildlife await the visitor to the Canadian Rockies, one of North America's premier travel destinations. This four-season area has much to offer travelers and Andrew Hempstead's Moon Handbooks Canadian Rockies is the resource to uncovering its hidden treasures. Five parks are found in the Canadian Rockies -- Banff, Jasper, Kootenay, Yoho, and Waterton Lakes -- each filled with miles of hiking and skiing trails, hundreds of campsites, and numerous lake and rivers. Visitors can explore the world-famous Burgess Shale, home of many fossils; brave rafting the plunge on the Kicking Horse River; or sample regional Rocky Mountain cuisine -- caribou, moose, and elk. This revised edition includes measurements in both the imperial and metric systems; an expanded accommodations section; helpful sidebars on cutting flight costs or finding great hotels rooms for less; as well as website listings for many destinations. After a day in the field, hit the bars and pubs of Canmore and Banff, or soak in the luxuriant waters of Radium Hot Springs. Informative, practical, and inspiring, Moon Handbooks Canadian Rockies is an essential guide to planning a trip to this awe-inspiring part of the world.

Very good guide.......2007-09-11

We carried this guide in our trip to the Canadian Rockies and it helped us a lot. We had information of all the available hikes. It is a very highly recommendable product if you are planning to visit this area.

This handbook is highly recommended to anyone planning a vacation in the Canadian Rockies, even if they have visited the Rockies before. This handbook provides enough detail in a compact format that it may inform regular visitors on wonders they may have missed on prior trips.

Best, most practical guide.......2005-08-09

Best and most useful information for trip. Well written and concise. Much better and more useful than Frommer.

Excellent and Thorough.......2005-07-25

I'm going to the Canadian Rockies for my honeymoon, and I couldn't ask for a better guide. The author includes every detail one could want. I'm looking forward to using it on the trip. I can tell I've chosen the right place, because the author himself has chosen to live there!

An excellent buy.......2004-10-03

We spent a week in the Canadian Rockies, using this book as our guide. The book gives excellent recommendations for accomodations and activities - we did not go wrong following them. It gives more information that is beyond the basic, "usual", details. It also includes descriptions of many hikes, from 1-hour hikes to full-day hikes, as well as description of road-accessible sites for the non-hikers.

This classic guidebook provides unparalleled coverage of a region where towering peaks, massive glaciers, vast forests, abundant wildlife -- and even the West Edmonton Mall and the epic Calgary Stampede -- encourage travelers to think big. Choose from a range of overnight options, outdoor adventures, and cultural opportunities. "A must for anyone wanting to visit Alberta and the Northwest Territories." -- Eclectic Book Reviews

Comprehensive and up to date.......2001-07-17

This book was indispensible for my recent travels through Alberta. It contains detailed descriptions of all the best places to go, including some great small town festivals that I would of otherwise missed. The book also has many hikes included, mostly in the Canadian Rockies. I budgeted to spend around $50 a night for motels, and found that this book described many good choices in this price range but also includes campgrounds and more expensive places. Overall, I found it to be very current, not only for restaurants and the like but also coverage of issues such as overcrowding in the national parks, which I found an interesting addition.

5 Stars Plus!.......2000-08-23

This book and its companion volume to British Columbia are undoubtedly the best travel books I have ever used. I just returned from a two-month trip that took me to the Calgary Stampede, through the Rockies, up to Yellowknife and through British Columbia to Vancouver. Alberta is an amazing place to visit and by buying this book I was able to enjoy it all the more. The author has obviously done his homework and describes the region in a colorful style but also with an incredible amount of detail. By using these books I managed to plan my trip before leaving home, even down to where I wanted to eat. The other guide I had with me was rarely used. I also found local information centers sending me along well worn tourist paths, and while this book covers all of that side of Alberta it also led me away from the masses to areas of equal beauty. I highly recommend this book to anyone planning a trip to Canada!!

Don't travel without it!.......2000-01-13

This was an excellent guide for family travel. It provided first rate information on dinosaur adventures in the Red Deer region to Waterton NP to the Canadian Rockies including Banff and Jasper and all points in between. Includes tidbits of local history and written in such a user friendly manner that by the middle of our three week adventure we were fondly refering to it as Mr. Moon, as in, what does Mr. Moon reccommend for dinner. If you are traveling to the Canadian Rockies, the British Colombia guide by this publisher makes an indispensable companion to the Alberta Guide.

An A+ Guide to the Canadian Rockies.......1999-04-02

I couldn't believe all the information that this book contained. It told us of all the great spots in Banff and we didn't miss a one. This was our first time there, but because this book was top notch, we're planning our return within a few months. I would highly recommend this book to anyone traveling in the Canadian Rockies. It's better than the best!!

This book was outstanding!.......1998-06-28

This handbook was packed with great spots to stop. There were many places listed that the AAA guidebook missed, and all were fantastic. The book was sectioned well, breaking up different areas into day-trips. If you are going to Alberta for the first time, this is a MUST BUY!

A reliable guide is essential when venturing off into the 948,596 square kilometers that make up British Columbia, and Moon's Handbook is the guide of choice. Covering recreation, accommodations, food, transportation, and sights for Southwestern, Central, and Northern British Columbia, Vancouver and Vancouver Island, plus the Rocky Mountains, Okanagan Valley, and the Kootenays, it's an exceptionally valuable tome of information. Whether you're looking for a sophisticated big city Vancouver holiday, going for high tea in Victoria, viewing Haida totem poles on the Queen Charlotte Islands, hiking the West Coast Trail, or canoeing the lakes in the Cariboo Mountains, the Moon Handbook is up-to-date and on the money. --Stephanie Gold

Book Description

British Columbia Handbook provides travelers with the best of the area's sophisticated modern cities and colonial charms as well as its pristine forests and waterways. The authors explore the national parks and lead readers to such delights as the Southern Gulf Islands and the Okanagan wine country.

B.C. Handbook.......2006-07-18

Excellent book for travel to BC. We have used other Moon Books on travel and have been very pleased with all of them

A Great Help.......2004-01-14

This was the first of the Moon books I'd ever used and I was very impressed. There was a ton of useful information on general Canadian travel, but the bulk of the book is devoted to the various regions and the best of what there is to see and do. In places like Vancouver, where there are lots of museums, he discusses these; on Vancouver Island he tells all you'll need to know about water activities; in the Okanagan Valley he chooses his favorite wineries, etc. I'd been to BC previously, but visited a few great spots that I wouldn't have found without this book. The author concentrates on 3 or 4 places to stay and a similiar number of restaurants in each town and he has obviously done his research well as I couldn't find fault with the recommendations that cover all price ranges.

Also importantly, the book is very well organized and the maps were very helpful. I also liked the thorough bibliography.

My favourite guidebook for British Columbia.......2002-06-24

I know of no better book to my home province of British Columbia than this Moon guide. On my travels as a semi-retired geologist, I also carry copies of the Lonely Planet and Frommer's book and have reviewed both of them and others at Amazon.com, but Moon Handbooks British Columbia stands alone for its usefulness. The other books have their good points, but this one encapsulates everything one needs to enjoy the wonders of the province, whether it's their first trip or they live here. It covers every single corner of BC and is thorough and up to date.

The Moon guide is cleverly written and arranged to appeal to all budgets. The bulk of the text relates to towns and parks of BC, with informative coverage of everything from museums to fishing opportunities and wildlife viewing. Each section ends with details of the best places to stay and recommendations for dining. If you're camping out or RVing I'd suggest also getting a campground guide, but the Moon book suggests at least one campground in each town, each of which the author has obviously visited. Motels are also detailed, and over previous editions I'm yet to find fault with the author's choices. Ditto for bed and breakfasts and restaurants.

In my opinion, thois is definitely the best allround guidebook for British Columbia

Great, but previous edition better........2002-06-01

This is indeed a terrific guidebook for B.C. Previous editions, however, included Banff and Jasper National Parks, which admittedly are in Alberta, not B.C., but are usually included in Canadian Rockies travel itineraries. There's no excuse including Yoho (which is just over the border) but not Banff and Jasper, except to sell more books. So this is not an improvement.

Moon Handbooks rule!.......2001-09-27

I've used Moon Handbooks for years and they are simply the best! I have the Montana, Wyoming, Washington, Alberta, and now the British Columbia book, and I've never been disappointed. These books include the usual stuff, such as lodging, restaurants, and recreation, but they also include local history and cultural information that makes them far superior to most guides. Buy a Moon Handbook that covers the state you live in--you will be surprised at how much you can learn. If you're going traveling, they are indispensable.

Customer Reviews:

Great book on colonialism.......2007-04-05

Cook does such a good job with this book. He gives a very good introduction to why the Europeans colonized and then he goes into specific examples or as he call's them "case studies". The case studies are fascinating and the reader develops a new perception on the brutality of colonies.

Book Description

What does your favorite music look like? How can you visualize raw energy or sophisticated lounge sounds? And how could you create packaging for that album? Sonic answers these questions with 320 striking pages of today's best-designed record covers and concert posters. Worlds apart from another rehash of the standards of the 1960s and 70s, this book focuses on contemporary examples from underground and indie music, pop, alternative rock and electronica.

An engaging cover and packaging design have become key reasons for listeners to buy music in its traditional forms. With the rapid proliferation of MP3s, effectively designed music covers are increasingly necessary for the success of an album in today's stagnating music industry.

Sonic is a source book designed to inspire music insiders and graphic artists creating music packaging. With its stunning visuals from today's most exciting music, Sonic also appeals to a general audience of concertgoers, gift givers and all those interested in intelligent "pop" culture.

Customer Reviews:

Good Inspiration for designers.......2006-03-19

Music is trendsetting. Music design is as well. Sonic delivers contemporary covers, posters, and ads from music today which is great for any designer wanting to stay current with the trends of design.

SONIC - Visuals for Music compiled and edited by Robert Klanten, Hendrik Hellige, and Tom Hulan. Die Gestalten Verlag, Berlin, Germany; www.die-gestalten.de. 2004. 335 pp. $50.00 hardcover, ISBN 3-89955-040-4. color photographs and illustrations.
"Sonic" is an extended kaleidocope of the colors, shapes, and images of CD covers, album covers, and promotional and tour posters for popular singers and groups mostly from Europe and the United States. The innumerable graphics, art work, photographs, and combinations of these in all styles--from realistic to ironic to psychedelic to postmodern--are presented without captions except for notes on the name of the individual or art shop that did the design, the performer, and the medium (e. g., CD cover). In visually cataloging the hundreds of commercial works used in promoting and selling popular singers and bands in the highly competitive field of popular music, "Sonic" contains the many styles of state-of-the-art and some cutting-edge marketing; and also the diversity of the contemporary visual culture, as seen also in film, music videos, and TV advertising. It's a book to enjoy for anyone interested in the field of popular music and today's visual culture. Commerical artists and marketers especially would benefit from it. Contact information for the designers noted with the particular works is found in a section at the end of the book.

From the supplier: Film composers hurdle many obstacles to get their scores composed, conducted and recorded. Apart from having to produce a finished score in three weeks or less in most cases, talented composers must pray for an experienced recording engineer who knows what he is doing. The engineer must 'mix' the musical scores with the dialogue and sound effects so that the score is retained and remains prominent.
