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.Customer Reviews:
Do You Want To Know Where To Find Adventures In The Caymans?.......2003-01-12
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.

Great book!.......2000-11-15
Not the right book for the experienced traveler........1999-09-14
Excellent resource for the Cayman Islands.......1998-08-24
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.

Career Choices for Veterinarians: Beyond Private Practice
Carin A. Smith DVM , and Carin Smith Manufacturer: Smith Veterinary Services ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1885780087 |
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!
