I Rated The Old Version a Bit Lower: New Version is a Bit Better.......2005-12-22

I have been to Switzerland many times. Recently I sat down with my daughter who has worked at a hotel at Interlaken in Switzerland during her years in Business Administration at McGill - up to last summer - and we went over the Switzerland guides to see how they ranked, and what was currently the best guide in our humble opinions. We are not experts but have certain requirements and preferences. It helps if one can get a feel for the area in advance of a trip, and generally that is helped by good maps and color photos. So those guides do better in our review. We like to make reservations by internet and telephone and just use the Guide as a "guide".

Generally it costs more to publish a book with color photos so when all else is reasonably equal, one feels that they get better value with a guide with photos. Also we wanted to see if the ambiance at certain hotels and resorts was accurately portrayed in the text based on our knowledge. So those aspects of the guides determine our ranking. Incidentally all the books are excellent. When we did our review the new DK Eyewitness guide was not yet available, but in any case it will be short, under 400 pages.

For the Swiss guides we separated the guides into three groups, 5, 4, and 3 stars.

5 Stars (this group has nice color photos plus maps and text).

A. Green Guide to Switzerland published February 2001 by Michelin, 395 pages, $14., ranked 24,380 on Amazon.com, 0.64" x 9.4" x 4.7", lots of photos, maps, text, accurate portrayal of areas. Gives a nice idea of what you will find. Goes right down to small villages in detail even though it is just 395 pages. First choice.

B. Lonely Planet Switzerland published July 2003, 335 pages, $ 14., ranked 29,913 on Amazon.com, .69" x 6.42" x 6.5". Solid effort, lots of good photos and descriptions.

4 Stars (this group mainly text and maps).

C. Rough Guide to Switzerland published June 2003, 704 pages, $13.27, ranked 30,209 on Amazon.com, 1.08" x 7.8" x 6.38". Solid effort lots of things to see and do and best "text and maps only" books.

D. Frommer's Switzerland published February 2003, 512 pages, $15.39, ranked 47,638 on Amazon.com, 1.1" x 8.5" x 5.08". Similar to Rough Guide but shorter.

E. Fodor's Guide to Switzerland 42 edition, published December 2002, 448 pages, $14.7, ranked highest in group on Amazon.com at 3,172, 1.2" x 8.98" x 5.01". The smallest in the group, do not know why it is so popular?.

3 Stars

F. Michelin Red Guide published in 2004, 563 pages but in four languages: Italian, French, German and English so English sections are just a fraction of the book.

Great Book!.......2007-05-15

This book really got my son,7, interested in History. He remembers about every detail from it. The character animations are great! I recommend these books especially for probably 7 -10 yr old boys. I think they could get the most out of them.

Download Description

In this report, you will learn: How to approach editors If they say yes If they say no Writing tips Other tactics Resources to help you Lining up a media sponsor can be one of the most powerful ways to attract attendees, donations or volunteers for your fund-raiser or special event. The media co-sponsor these events for many reasons. Yet competition is fierce in the event-planning world for media sponsors. Some TV community affairs directors routinely get several dozen requests a week for sponsorships. That's why your pitch must stand out in the crowd. First, however, you need to understand why the media are eager to team up with community groups like yours and co-sponsor events: It makes the media outlet look good in the community It can sometimes mean additional publicity, even by competing media It's an inexpensive way for the media outlet to spread the word about its good deeds. It gives the media a chance to sell more newspapers at an event. Having its name associated with successful community events enhances the media's credibility. Sometimes media celebrities such as news anchors are asked to serve as emcees, thus elevating their profile in the community. It's the right thing to do. Now, here are the main reasons why you should go after a media sponsorship for your special event: It will save you thousands of dollars in advertising costs because newspapers magazines, and TV and radio stations typically donate free ads. A media sponsor will give your event more credibility. The media sponsor might give you more publicity than it would have otherwise, particularly if it's a TV station. This is not necessarily true with print media, however.

Beluga whales and their babies.......2001-06-22

This is an excellent factual book about the birth, habitat and life of a beluga whale. The text is full of information stated in a simple and direct way that young readers would be able to read. The pictures are wonderful, although the actaul photograph of the baby beluga being born is one I would avoid in my elementary classroom. I know the students would think the photos are as adorable as I did! The table of contents, pronounciation keys and glossary are helpful for young students. The big print and bold face vocabulary words make this book perfect for an elementary classroom. The authentic photographs make this book perfect for any child interested in whales or aquariums. I think this is an excellent resource for young children. I love this book!!!

1950's Cars, Culture and Nostalgia.......1998-07-23

If you LOVE the American Classic Cars from the 50's, including lots of information, stories, ads and fads of the day, then this is the book for you. Loaded with photos. Although mostly in black and white, the photos that are in color, are worth the price of the entire book. A great reference that includes all the marques and fads that made the 50's a time we'll never forget.

Tata's Tree.......2001-06-08

Knowing the author and the neighborhood personally I really enjoyed this book. Having grown up in the same house as the author I could relate to her description on a very personal level she is very thorough in her writing and the details were very impressive. I felt like I was back home while I was reading. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
