      5 out of 5 stars Beyond the beach, beyond the hotels...the real Cayman Is........1999-01-04

      I would have to disagree with what the first reviewer has to say about this book. First of all, it is NOT out of print, and is readily available through Amazon or through Martha K. Smith, herself. Also, there are tons of phone numbers included in this book for everything one would possibly want to know about the true culture of the Cayman Islands and how you, yourself, can interact with the people of this culture through adventure and recreation. In fact, playing dominoes is a very popular national and regional pastime integral to the culture of the islands.

      3 out of 5 stars BOOK IS GOOD FOR NATURE-LOVERS.......1998-04-05

      Like the previous reviewer, the book is a compilation of interesting places and finds on the Island, rather than a travel-itinerary. Maps of trails, hidden beaches and brief historical quips throughout, it is entertaining but not "fact-filled". I also believe that, in comparison to other Cayman books, it is a bit over-priced at $19.95.

      2 out of 5 stars It's out of print but don't lose sleep over it........1997-03-26

      The book is O.K. if you just want to know about the Caymans, but if you're planning a trip, it's weak on practical information. There are no names or phone numbers for any rental car company, hotel, condo, or restaurant, but many pages of organizations (with phone numbers) such as the Cayman Islands Dominoes Association (yes really). If you are able to find a car rental company there is a chapter on exploring the island, and if not there are chapters on hiking, running, bicycling, horseback riding, kayaking, and swimming

            Product Description

            To the outsider, the Cayman Islands - Cayman Brac, Grand Cayman and Little Cayman - are almost always equated with watersports and glorious beaches, plus offshore banking opportunities. This is hardly surprising, since the Cayman Islands do offer world-class scuba diving in crystal-clear waters, as well as a tax-free haven. But these three islands have so much more to offer the traveler who's willing to wander off the traditional tourist paths, walk away from the beachside resorts and explore by themselves. Diverse woodlands and pristine wetlands occupy much of the islands� interiors, rugged hiking trails meander across the peaks and valleys, and mangrove swamps cushion the shoreline, offering a unique breeding ground for many birds and fish. These protected wilderness areas are often left unexplored by lay-in-the-sun-all-day tourists, who miss some of the biggest attractions the islands offer. Join our Caribbean expert team of authors in their quest to discover "the other Caymans," the islands' little-visited spots away from the crowds where you can trek for miles without seeing another soul, strip down and sun yourself on a secluded beach, or join a group and sail offshore as the sun sets. As with all Adventure Guides, this book introduces you to the history, geography and people of the region first, so you have a good background knowledge of the island chain. The authors then take you touring, visiting all the popular tourist sites and towns, and offering valuable tips on shopping, transportation, restaurants and accommodations. Then, it's on with the adventures: on foot, on and below the water, on wheels, in the air and on horseback. Among the many fun activities included are paragliding, sailing, catamaran cruises, soaring, scuba diving, trekking, hiking, waterskiing, windsurfing, snorkeling, driving trips and horseback riding. For all of these, the authors give a list of local operators who can set you up with equipment, ferry you around from site to site or actually guide you on walks or riding trips. Detailed town and regional maps.

            5 out of 5 stars Do You Want To Know Where To Find Adventures In The Caymans?.......2003-01-12

            Travel writer and photographer, Paris Permenter and John Bigley, with their guidebook, Adventure Guide To The Cayman Islands- 2nd Edition, have given travelers a new way to appreciate the magnificent Cayman Islands.

            The authors are well known travel writers who have published over twenty-seven books, and have updated numerous guidebooks for publishers such as Fodor's and Michelin.
            In addition, they have authored over 1500 newspaper and magazine articles.

            What is unique about this particular guidebook is that it places more emphasis on the adventure aspect, rather than the mundane listing of hotels, restaurants, and the other common guidebook material, although, there are ample references to the latter.

            When I queried the authors as to why they had taken this approach they indicated that "the adventure aspect is one aspect that each island shares: good opportunities for adventure, whether visitors define that as scuba diving, hiking, snorkelling, or bird watching."

            The organization of the book divides itself into five principal well-written chapters.
            The introduction contains an abundance of useful and well-researched data concerning the history, geography, climate, flora and fauna, animal life, bird life, marine life, government, economy, and people and culture of the Cayman Islands.

            The second chapter, entitled "Where are the Adventures," exposes the reader as to what is available on foot, in the water, on the water, in the air, on wheels, on horseback, eco-travel, cultural excursions, family adventures and packing for adventure.

            The authors also have also included "Adventure Talks," where they interview various experts concerning such topics as diving in the Cayman Islands, eco-travel tours, and snorkelling adventures.

            The remaining three chapters concern themselves with the 3 Islands, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman. Within these chapters there are important tips as to how to get around, sights and attractions, accommodations, restaurants, sightseeing, shopping, nightlife, and beaches.
            The authors' brisk, informative, and well-written text makes for an easy to read guide.

            As an added feature, the guidebook contains a sprinkling of a few well-chosen photo images, some in color, and others in black and white.
            There are also a few simple maps inserted into the text along with the photo images.
            The end of the book includes useful web sites, a short bibliography and a helpful index.

            Whether you are a first time visitor to the Cayman Islands, or a traveler, who has visited before, you will garner precious and valuable information upon reading this well organized guidebook.

            Highly recommended.

            Patris Permenter and John Bigley's Cayman Islands appears in its second edition to explore the people, places, and underwater attractions of the islands. From local nature to taking dives and walking tours, this provides a variety of opportunities.

            5 out of 5 stars Great book!.......2000-11-15

            My family and I just got back from a trip to the Cayman Islands, and this book helped before and during the trip! The airline and hotel information was great to plan how to get there and where to stay and the descriptions of the activities helped us decide what to see on the island! I'd recommend this guide to anyone!

            1 out of 5 stars Not the right book for the experienced traveler........1999-09-14

            We were disappointed in the book. If you have ever traveled to an island before and have some idea of what to expect, then I do not recommend this book. We were able to find as much useful free information about the Caymans at the airport (rental car agency, whatever). The restaraunt guide in the book is extremely incomplete, and the descriptions of beaches and snorkeling locations needed to be much more specific to be worth the investment. As another reviewer alluded to, the lack of detailed maps is a serious drawback. If there was a roadmap and maps to snorkeling sites then I would have been partially satisfied. Unless you need to learn that Grand Cayman is a "world class SCUBA diving destination" I recommend learning the basics on one of the many internet sites and then picking up the freebies when you get there.

            4 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for the Cayman Islands.......1998-08-24

            My wife and I spent 6 days in Grand Cayman. Overall the book gave great information on what to see and where to go. We especially enjoyed the section that points out where the movie "The Firm" was filmed. We are big movie buffs and that was fun to see the sites of some of the filming. The book did not point out that there are basically two spots to go see the stingrays in "Stingray City". We took two different snorkel trips. One trip took us to a reef in stingray city. The water was about 15 feet deep. We saw about 10 stingrays but had some trouble getting close to them because of the deep water. A second trip took us to a stingray area that was in water about four feet deep. This location was more enjoyable because you could actually touch the rays and hold them if you wanted. Also there were several more rays at this location. Both trips were great but I recommend going on the trip with the shallow stingray area first.

            The book was right about the climate. We went during the second week of August (Near Hurricane Season) and it rained for a few hours on a couple of days. The rain did allow us to leave the beach and see the turtle farm and Hell.

            We snorkeled in a few of the sites that the book recommends. The book highly recommends the Cemetary Reef. This reef was nice but after we got out near the reef, we were surrounded by gray jacks and other fish. The fish nipped a little at my wife's finger and it became quickly unenjoyable. We found out later that a lot of people feed the fish here and therefore they become more aggressive. In general, it wasn't scary but it was not fun with all these semi-aggresive fish around us. My wife especially did not like it.

            Finally, I recommend the Hyatt and renting a car for at least a day. The Hyatt is slightly more expensive but is well worth the money. Also a car was useful to explore the island and other snorkel sites. We will definitely go back and use this book as a resource.

                4 out of 5 stars Ideas.......2003-05-12

                A bit pricey for it's size but still it is full of good examples of well designed letterheads and business cards. I found some new ideas in this book that I haven't seen yet.

                3 out of 5 stars simplicity.......1999-02-11

                it has many minimal yet innovative designs. i like the style. clean, simple, effective. good picture book. however it can use a more analytical side review for teach piece.

                5 out of 5 stars I want to be a veterinarian.......2006-02-28

                This is a perfect book for any animal lover and future vet , like me.I learned a lot from this book. Very good book for vets.

                1 out of 5 stars Very dissapointing.......2006-02-27

                I bought this for my child who said she wanted to be a veterinarian. He was board to death with this bland, uninteresting book. Isn't there a good book out there for kids on this topic?

                5 out of 5 stars Highly Recomended and GREAT for reports.......2005-04-26

                I had to do a 100 note card report on a ocupation that you want to be, and you had to have three different sources. I did about 75% of the note cards using just this book. It's a great book to read and to do reports. Highly recomended.

                5 out of 5 stars Friends for Animals.......2004-04-04

                (...) I read this to my pets and they loved it. I think it was good because people were working with animals to help them, not to get alot of money. It should be great for people like you!! :)

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book.......2001-07-11

                This is an excellent book for anyone who dreams of being a veterinarian, like me. The book talks about all types of different veterinarians, such as holistic, large animal, small animal, and more. This is a great book and a must read for anyone interested in going into the veterinary field.

                3 out of 5 stars Opportunieis in Veterinary Medicine Careers.......2003-06-26

                While giving exact statistics, the interpretation is such as to gloss over the difficulties entailed in getting into Veterinary School. The author plays fast and loose with language, switching from students to applicants, never giving the number who actually make it into that first class. As a better source, check the book on admission requirements.
                The chapter on the history of veterinary medicine is specious, spurious, highly imaginative, and anachronistic. Check the Oxford Classical Dictionary if you're really interested and want the facts.
                The rest of the book is, as your blurb says, pretty complete and up to date. I think deciding to become a Veterinary Technician after two years at an unaccredited school earning $17,000 a year in order to play with kitties and puppies is a total waste of time. Go find a different profession, earn a decent living wage, leave the door open so you can transfer a 2-year-degree to a 4-year-institution 20 years from now, and with your increased earning power, indulge your madness of kitties and puppies on the side.
                Considering there is nothing much else with hard information available, the book is worth a read. Buy it in conjunction with the Admission Requirement book, read statistics carefully, and it will be enlightening.

                  Book Description

                  If you thought you knew what a veterinarian does, think again!

                  You may envision someone who works in private practice, treating animals from dogs to birds.

                  You may know that it s possible to become a veterinary specialist in fields such as cardiology or dermatology. That description shows only one side of this great profession, though.

                  In Career Choices for Veterinarians: Beyond Private Practice, you'll hear about unusual careers from the veterinarians themselves. You'll hear from a consultant working on a swine project in China; an information specialist who gathers literature about primates; an extension veterinarian who educates livestock owners about health care; and a public health veterinarian who investigates outbreaks of deadly disease.

                  Career Choices includes extensive references, contact names, phone numbers, web sites, and E-mail addresses for hundreds of positions from private practice to specialization to alternative veterinary careers. Most require no additional training beyond the DVM degree. Essential reading for veterinarians and pre-veterinary students!

                              4 out of 5 stars Great vintage character collectibles guide and value aid........1999-03-24

                              Very useful guide with estimates of each character collectible's value for 1999 and 2004. Each item has a unique key to it's value, projected value, collectibility factor, scarcity factor, investibility factor and total factor. Contains a wealth of information and over 375 mostly black and white pictures. A few are in color. Each topic contains the item's history, "The buzz" or inside info, and when to buy it. The pictures bring back many memories of childhood toys. Very useful and well worth the price.
