Customer Reviews:
Most helpful book!.......2007-07-10
This book has been the most helpful to date for a new visitor to Egypt. Alongside the Michelin guide, it works wondrrs!
National Geographic Traveler - Egypt.......2007-05-13
The only book one needs to take on a tour of Egypt. I found this book informative, up to date and easier to use than those I had previously purchased. I learned of this book when I saw fellow travel companions reading theirs. Since returning from my trip to Egypt I purchased the book to further my research and edit my photographs.
Excellent Guide!.......2007-03-02
I took this book along with me on a recent family trip to Egypt, and I loved it! National Geographic magazine is famed far and wide for its amazing photographs and interesting articles- its travel guides are much the same! The book is written by a British expat living in Cairo, and so you get both the tourist feel and the local bent on travel through Egypt. The guidebook contains a rich historical and cultural section, and then is full of information about places to visit, foods to eat, and things to do.
I especially liked the detailed information about sites of interest- for many of the old temple ruins, such as those at Luxor, Karnak and Abu Simbel, there are pages devoted to describing the ruins in detail. I found this particularly useful to read just before heading off the bus to visit the sites, as then I knew what I was looking for.
Overall, the National Geographic Traveler guide was a great companion on my trip to Egypt- I will definitely be looking for more Traveler guidebooks in my future travels!
The best of both worlds!.......2003-07-24
I have gathered several books on travel to Egypt, Lonely planets, Passport, Travelers Key, DK eyewitness(second fave) and this one I would rate the best. Its got tons of great pictures, some of which I haven't seen in other books, plus its very full on information. Usually with such books its either tons of info and few pictures or vice versa. This one balances both well. It also has some nice maps and diagrams (tomb layouts, pyramid chambers)a section rating hotels and restaurants, a small section on usefull arabic terms, and a book and movie guide with egyptian themes.
The book starts out with an introduction to the history and culture of Egypt, something many travel guides lack and require a second book for. Then it moves on to points of interest in Cairo, around Cairo, The delta and Suez, Alexandria, Western Desert, Middle Egypt, Luxor, South of Luxor, Red sea and Sinai, then the final part of the book is basically travel tips. Lots of great information. I was happy to see they included a section on the rescue of the temple of Abu Simbel. I've heard of how they moved the temple to save it but was having trouble pondering how such a task could be done. This book explains the actual 'why' the temple was in danger, the various ideas of saving it, and the technique used. Just an example of how in debth this book is.
The pages are nice and glossy as well. And though thick for a traveling book(to take along) its still a reasonable size to fit into a travel bag to take with you.
I would say if you were looking to buy one book only, by far, I'd recommend this one. I like the DK eyewitness book too, but this one I rank higher due to more volume of information and pictures. If you want something slimmer and less in debth I'd go with the DK one, which is still a great book on its own.
Book Description
Magnificent Egypt is presented in a newly updated edition that guides visitors from Cairo and Luxor to the Valley of the Kings and Aswan Dam, and on to the Red Sea. 3-D diagrams of the pyramids, a detailed floor plan of the Egyptian Museum, walking tours of Cairo and Alexandria, history and culture, regional and neighborhood maps... all combine to give visitors the full advantage of National Geographic's expertise.
Each Traveler guide includes such practical information as getting there and around, where to stay, and cultural and recreational activities to help make the most of your vacation.

Book Description
Spokes, spools, rods, and reels: Since its introduction in 1913, the TINKERTOY construction set has been the tool of choice for young builders and proof positive that fun and learning can go hand-in-hand. As it approaches the century mark, this classic favorite—which not long ago was freshened up with brighter, more user-friendly plastic parts, although the rods and spools are still in familiar, appealing wood—is getting a special gift: a guide and interactive CD-ROM with cool projects to make playtime even more creative. The easy-to-follow pictures and screen images show kids how to put together colorful creations piece by piece, including an airplane, ferris wheel, dinosaur, necklace, and swing set. This is the very first time there has been a book to provide in-depth instruction for specific projects, and it’s sure to become as popular as the toy itself.

Customer Reviews:
Well worth the $.......2006-05-16
This is a must have for any designer. Little expensive but worth it. Not many of these left around.
Great Reference Book for Logos.......2000-06-13
This is a large book, jam packed with really great logos. What a great reference and idea book for the graphic designer. Is it a little pricey, or is it just me?
Book Description
For generations, children have loved playing with LINCOLN LOGS building sets and discovering just how inventive they can be. The brainchild of John Lloyd Wright (son of the famous architect), these interlocking logs open up endless possibilities for kids: anything a child can dream up, he or she can build. Plus, every time kids place the logs in position, they’re enhancing their manual dexterity.
But there is one thing this wonderful plaything has never had: a detailed manual that explains exactly how to create specific projects. Finally, it’s here, complete with an interactive, easy-to-use CD-ROM that lets children (and probably more than a few grownups with fond memories!) go straight to the directions they need. Blueprints lay out every step that goes into constructing a bank, barn, farmhouse, firehouse, frontier tower, multiple cabins, and much more.

Not for the botanically illiterate.......2002-02-02
I bought this hoping that I would be able to easily identify the native shrubs and vines on my property, but it is not very helpful. It is very difficult to use for someone not trained in botany. I should know, as my training is in aquatic biology and zoology. Even with my biology background, I have not found it very useful so the identification part of the title is very misleading. Also, there appears to be no rhyme or reason as to how the plants are categorized. I was hoping this would be more like Taylor's guides to trees, shrubs, etc. with pictures that then refer to a description, but it wasn't.
An important work, but not best for beginners........2001-07-25
I bought this book because I adore "Gardening with Native Wildflowers" by the same authors. I was a little disappointed because this one is not as reader friendly for beginners such as myself. It does fill an important niche by identifying all native shrubs and woody vines of the southeast, as the title implies, and for this I imagine it would be a must for anyone compiling a serious library and/or study on the subject of native plants. The book is chock full of color photographs, each of which is labeled by the scientific name of the plant. However, I would have liked to see the common name there also (there is a common name index). A beginner who does not need to know about or identify a wide variety of shrubs and vines might be better off starting with a general guide to natural gardening that includes a variety of plant types.

Book Description
A concise and fully illustrated introduction to the principles and practice of Eurythmy, the new art of movement initiated by Rudolf Steiner at the turn of the century. A brief survey of dance from its origin in the ancient mysteries to is contemporary forms places Steiner's ideas in their historical context. His insight into the hidden laws of movement--a realm of formative forces designated by Steiner as the etheric--is described and explained. Eurythmy is shown to be speech and music made visible, an objectively artistic expression of the spirit of word and tone.
Aspects of eurythmy training and stage performance are discussed, along with the important role of eurythmy in both education and therapy.
From the Rudolf Steiner's Ideas in Practice series.

A glimpse into a life.......2002-07-04
This book is a look into the life of a man who was present during some important times in the history of the United States. It seems very revealing of things I didn't know. I enjoyed the book, but I may be biased. He is my uncle.
