            5 out of 5 stars Champion Work.......2006-06-19

            In June, 2006 my wife and I traveled extensively through all parts of Cyprus by rental car and carried 4 recently published guidebooks. Even with Lonely Planet and DK carrying 2006 copyrights, neither could hold a candle to Rough Guide (Sept, 2005). Marc Dubin's work is not simply that of a traveler writing a guidebook, but like an expert presenting an insightful, informative, and balanced work. It added immensely to our enjoyment and understanding of Cyprus. The highlights section for each chapter provided an excellent overview of each region, and for the first time I found the maps to be even better than the ones in Lonely Planet. The background information was outstanding for presenting a fair treatment of this divided island, with many excellent spotlights on pertinent Cypriot topics.

            At 552 pages it is over twice the length of Lonely Planet's 272 pages and DK's 216. Thanks to Rough Guide we found many places which were not even mentioned in the other books, like the secluded, abandoned cave hermitage of Palea Enklistra or the beautifully situated Kelefos Venetian-era bridge in the Troodos Mountains. The photos are still not as superb as DK, and for that reason I would also recommend DK Top 10 Cyprus (more useful than DK Cyprus), with excellent lists and photos of the island's highlights. All in all, Rough Guide Cyprus is one of the best guidebooks for any country that you could ever find.

            5 out of 5 stars No better travel guide to Cyprus.......2006-05-29

            At the time of this review, there is no other up-to-date travel guide for visiting Cyprus. The Lonely Planet's "Cyprus" 2nd edition came out right as the Nicosia/Lefkosia opened in 2003 and contains outdated information on the crossing from the Greek/Turkish sides - their 3rd edition is due out this summer. Regardless, LP will have a hard act to follow, since Marc Dubin has written the single most comphrensive travel guide to a country I have ever read. I just returned from a 10 day trip to both 'sides' of Cyprus and used literally almost every page. I wouldn't have been able to see half the things I did without this guide and by relying solely on the state-run information kiosks.

            It was astounding to talk to other travellers who showed up to Cyprus as package tourists and were clueless about the political circumstances surrounding the island. This wouldn't have happened if they had stepped out of Larnaca (or controversially, Ercan) airport without having a copy of this guide, if for no other reason that the author constantly integrates both ancient (Greek) and modern (political) historical information into all his location descriptions. Hn addition, there is an appendix of almost 50 pages of a balanced account of the turbulent history of the island that doesn't point sole blame on either side of the Green line. The guide also gives comphrensive information in archeological, endemic plant/animal species, a range of restaurant/lodging recommendations, and scuba diving. Like almost all Rough Guides, this book is intent in educating people to become investigative travellers rather than consuming tourists.

            Note that the author frequently warns that pre-packaged tourism rules Cyprus. However, you can still backpack through both sides of Cyprus on intercity 'taxis' (small vans) in the south and dolmus buses in the north. The author is correct when he says that the conditions in hostels in Cyprus aren't comparable to their Northern (or Greek) counterparts and the island is not a budget destination, but you can usually find a hotel in a town for $40-45/night - I found locals in every town who were helpful and even outgoingly friendly after a few minutes of conversation.

                Book Description

                INTRODUCTION

                Cyprus, the Mediterranean's third largest island after Sicily and Sardinia, defers only to Malta as the newest state in the region, having come into existence on August 16, 1960. For the first time, following centuries of domination by whatever empire or nation held sway in the eastern Mediterranean - including, from 1878 to 1960, Great Britain - the islanders seemed to control their own destiny. Such empowerment proved illusory: no distinctly Cypriot national identity was permitted to evolve by the island's Orthodox Christian Greek and Muslim Turkish communities. Within four years, tension between these two groups rent the society asunder, followed in 1974 by a political and ethnic division of the island imposed by the mainland Turkish army.

                However, calm for the most part now reigns on the island, and for British visitors there's a persistent sense of dj vu in Cyprus, perhaps more than with any other ex-Crown Colony. Pillar boxes still display "GR" and "ER" monograms near zebra crossings; grandiose colonial public buildings jostle for space with vernacular mud-brick and Neoclassical houses; Woolworth's, Next and M&S are present in the largest towns of the South; and of course driving is on the left. Before the recent founding of universities in both South and North, higher education was pursued abroad, preferably in the UK, and English - virtually the second, if unofficial, language in the South - is widely spoken. Despite the bitterness of the independence struggle against the UK, most is forgiven (if not exactly forgotten) a generation or so later.

                Even the most ardent Cyprus enthusiast will concede that it can't compete in allure with more exotic, airline-poster destinations, yet the place grows on you with prolonged acquaintance (as evidenced by the huge civilian expat population, estimated at 20,000). There's certainly enough to hold your interest inland once you tire of the beaches, which tend to be small, scattered coves in the South, or longer, dunier expanses in the North. Horizons are defined by one of two mountain ranges: the convoluted massif of the Trdhos, with numerous spurs and valleys, and the wall-like escarpment of the Kyrenia hills, seemingly sculpted of papier-mch.

                In terms of special-interest visits, archeology buffs, wine-drinkers, flower-sniffers, bird-watchers and mountain-bikers are particularly well catered for, though state-of- the-art nightlife and cultural diversions can be thin on the ground, in keeping with the predominantly forty- and fifty-something clientele, and the island's enduring provincialism. This has a natural consequence in the overwhelming presence of the package industry, supported by law in the South, by circumstance in the North, which has effectively put at least two of the bigger resorts and numbers of multistar hotels off-limits to independent travellers. But for an undemanding, reasonably priced family holiday most months of the year, Cyprus is still a good bet.

                Divided Cyprus

                Long-dormant rivalry and resentment between Cyprus' two principal ethnic groups was reawakened late in the 1950s by the Greek-Cypriot campaign for nosis or union with Greece. Following independence, disputes over the proper respective civic roles of the Greek- and Turkish-Cypriot communities, and lingering advocacy of nosis, or taksim (partition of the island between Greece and Turkey) by extremists in each camp, provoked widespread, ongoing communal violence.

                Abetted by interested outsiders, these incidents - and a CIA-backed coup against the elected government - culminated in the 1974 operation by the Turkish army which effectively partitioned the island, with both Greek and Turkish Cypriots on the "wrong" side of the ceasefire line compelled to leave their homes. Nicosia, the capital, approximately at the centre of Cyprus, was divided like Cold War Berlin, and remains so at present; much of Famagusta, formerly home to about seven percent of the island's current population, lies abandoned. If this all sounds eye-rollingly familiar in the wake of events in former Yugoslavia and the Russian Federation, there was during the 1960s and 1970s a relative novelty to the crises that repeatedly convulsed Cyprus.

                In the aftermath of 1974, the two zones of Cyprus nurse grievances against each other that are difficult for many outsiders to fathom, and North and South remain mutually isolated, having developed over time into parallel societies, destined, perhaps, never to converge again. The island's division is comparable to that of pre-1990 Germany, though as Cyprus is a far more intimate place the scale of human tragedy has been more visible. Reunification, if and when it comes, is bound to be hedged with conditions, and fraught with pitfalls similar to the German experience: while South and North are both avowedly capitalist, the linguistic and religious gulf separating the two communities, compounded by nearly three decades of enforced segregation and a growing prosperity gap, may prove impossible to bridge.

                3 out of 5 stars Could be fantastic if updated!.......2005-01-16

                I bought the 2002 edition of this book for a trip to Cyprus in 2004. Alot changed on the island in those 2 years but I found this book to be invaluable in spite of some outdated material.

                The author does not try to hide his distaste for the direction the island is heading in development that encourages cheap package travel, but I thought that his description of the island was right on the mark. He also spends a great deal of time describing all that is unique and wonderful about this island.

                My first impression reading it before my trip was frustration at the long-winded writing style of the author. During my travels, however, I appreciated his level of detail. Reading this book made me want to explore the island beyond the southern beaches and gave me the information to do so. I used it to explore the mountainous region and small villages in the center of the island and gain access to some of their amazing painted churches.

                The downside of the outdated material is in the fact that this island is changing so quickly, development and the political situation create constant change. The lack of information in his book relating to traveling between the north (Turkish) and south (Greek) territories is its' biggest flaw. I did travel to the north with my Cyprian hosts and I only wish I had spent more time on my own exploring the north, passing the border is actually quite easy. The Turkish culture and the pristine beaches of the north offer a very different and more authentic experience than the overdeveloped and tourist driven south. The information given on the north was in itself very detailed, the book answered several questions that my Cyprian hosts could not.

                I went to Cyprus last August not seeking the kind of adventures that I usually do when I travel. I expected a beach vacation punctuated by a wedding in a new culture and a new church. The wedding was indeed amazing but the experiences I had exploring the island with the information in this book were beyond my expectations.

                Please update this book! Thanks to my new brother-in-law, I now have access to a house on Cyprus and plan on visiting it many more times.

                4 out of 5 stars By far the better of the two Cyprus books I bought.......2003-08-28

                I bought The Rough Guide to Cyprus and the Blue Guide Cyprus at the same time. I've had the chance to live on Cyprus for about a year so I've had time to read both and compare what they say with my experience of the island. And the result is that I highly recommend this book. It has well written and fairly detailed sections pertaining to the islands history and culture. Each region of Cyprus is dealt with in reasonable detail. Additionally, the book does not shy away from the difficult political and social issues that vex Cyprus, and in my opinion is even handed in assigning blame and praise (there is plenty to go around!). I didn't feel at all like one of the other reviewers, that the author disliked Cyprus. Cyprus is a bit of a difficulty as well as a bit of paradise - in fact, it's history and current reality are quite heart rending to grasp. But there is still much to appreciate. This book has been invaluable to me.

                I bought this guide for the summer I am spending in cyprus. The author clearly didnt like the island: his description of most things are tainted with a negativity and he clearly didnt get beyond the tourist traps. \he left out essential info on buses and hotels. If I had stuck with the book I never would have discovered the wonderful things that the island has to offer. If you cant find a good book, rather look at online sites (like gonomad.com has great info).

                I used the Rough Guide last spring when I traveled independently to Cyprus from Israel. I found it to be very comprehensive and accurate. There are lots of maps, phone numbers and other useful info. It is great for someone wanting the nitty-gritty details of how to get around and how much money to bring. I especially appreciated the suggestions for good low-budget accomodations.

                          For the first time in 10 years, collectors of antique bird decoys and duck calls are able to enjoy a totally updated, revised, and expanded edition of the late Carl F. Luckey's, COLLECTING ANTIQUE BIRD DECOYS AND DUCK CALLS. Hundreds of pages with new information and new photos have been added to this legendary must-have collectible reference guide which offers tps on identifying antique decoys and forgeries and fakes, techniques for restoration and repairs, a guide to "The Schools of Carvers," and much more.

                          This updated edition provides history and current pricing of the prominent duck and goose hunting decoys used over the past century-plus, including both hand-carved and factory models. Coverage of "modern" decoys-made in the past 50 years, has been added, plus information about duck and goose calls. Also new is a chapter on advertising of decoys and hunting memorabilia from the 1920s through 1950s and an interview with one of the most prominent decoy collectors.

                          1 out of 5 stars Never Received it!!!!.......2007-05-09

                          This is one book that I never received, even after they charged my credit card, they would not respond to my emails, offer a refund, or even send me a replacement for the "one lost in the mail."

                          5 out of 5 stars A wealth of information.......2006-11-27

                          A very well-researched book, this is definately one for the collector. This book's true value lies in its value guides and background information, making for facinating reading. Unfortunately, the photography is only average, and mostly black and white (there is a middle section of 63 colored pages).

                          5 out of 5 stars Well worth the wait.......2003-11-21

                          This is a great book. I've collected decoys for several years and I own the previous edition of Collecting Antique Bird Decoys and Duck Calls which is now some 10 years old. No disrespect, but the new edition by Russ Lewis far surpasses the old book. Not only will you find thousands of photos but Lewis, an avid collector himself, provides loads of information on traditonal carvers, factory birds, regional influences throughout North America and much more. The depth and breadth of the work is impressive. Lewis is a university professor, and you can tell that he is an educator at heart. It also helps that he has a soul of a collector. If you collect decoys, bird calls, or simply enjoy the outdoors you'll love this book. I'll bet my Red-breasted Merganser decoy on it.

                                    I was amazed at the scope of information contained in this book. It opened my eyes to all the things you must keep in mind when creating your new home. All those things you won't realise the significance of till it's to late, they're in this book. You won't be disappointed.

                                      Este libro, lleno de sabiduría e incluyendo abundantes casos reales, nos presenta diversas técnicas prácticas de sanación que enseñarán al lector cómo y por qué perdonar lo “imperdonable”. Cómo desprenderse de la ira, el dolor y el resentimiento. Cómo recuperar la autoestima. Cómo liberarse de actitudes rígidas y restrictivas. Cómo disipar los mitos destructivos sobre el perdón (entre ellos la abnegación, la confesión o la indiferencia). Escrita con gran ingenio, inteligencia y claridad, la presente obra nos muestra la importancia que el perdón tiene para liberar nuestras vidas y abrirnos a la alegría y al amor. El perdón no es para el perdonado, sino para quien perdona.

                                      The authors show how resentment can consume precious emotional energy and seriously impair both self-esteem and the ability to experience joy. This revolutionary book explodes long-standing myths.

                                      3 out of 5 stars Pretty good for such a short book.......2001-08-15

                                      Mostly a history of Billy Joel's recordings - lots of nitty gritty talk. It was almost like reading a series of album covers. Still, there was a good bit of biographical information. I'd like to see a more complete biography with more human interraction. For example, I wanted to learn about Jerry Schilling's involvement, but there was no mention of him. Schilling was a member of Elvis's Memphis Mafia who went on to be Joel's road manager according to an Elvis biography.

                                      3 out of 5 stars Billy Joel: All About Soul.......2000-07-07

                                      ...When I first got the book Billy Joel: All About Soul byRichard Scott, I thought this would be an easy to read--after all itwas a small paperback with only 103 pages including the index. It would be effortless to write--I've been writing reviews for years. It didn't turn out that way, mostly because this reviewer is not a Billy Joel fan nor knows much about rock and roll music.

                                      So, what can I say? I enjoyed the book enormously! I learned far more about Billy Joel than I ever thought I wanted to know. Scott lets Billy tell about the tribulations and triumphs of his life in his own words. What I especially found interesting was how Scott weaves the songs chronologically into the story and describes the music with a musician's point of view.

                                      I found Scott to be a refreshing, interesting writer and I appreciated his wry sense of humor...

                                        Book Description

                                        Here are the stories of three very different men -- a journalist, a scientist, and a labor leader -- who shared the same seemingly impossible dream. They were determined to create a Jewish state in the land God promised to Abraham and his descendants -- land the Jews had been exiled from nearly two thousand years ago. They faced towering obstacles and dramatic setbacks. Yet they prevailed. How?

                                        Spanning nearly ninety years and many significant world events, this concise history tells the tale of the creation of the state of Israel through the lives of three men. Theodor Herzl, Chaim Weizmann, and David Ben-Gurion at times disagreed -- even vehemently -- but each needed the other two in order to accomplish a common goal. A Promise Fulfilled shows how events built on one another -- how the way one crisis was handled influenced the way the next played out. It is essential reading, not just for understanding how the nation of Israel came to be, but for insight into the controversy and crises that surround this country even today.

                                            Book Description

                                            Arrows in the Dark recounts and analyzes the many efforts of aid and rescue made by the Jewish community of Palestine—the Yishuv—to provide assistance to European Jews facing annihilation by the Nazis. Tuvia Friling provides a detailed account of the activities carried out at the behest of David Ben-Gurion and the Yishuv leadership, from daring attempts to extract Jews from Nazi-occupied territory, to proposals for direct negotiations with the Nazis. Through its rich array of detail and primary documentation, this book shows the wide scope and complexity of Yishuv activity at this time, refuting the idea that Ben-Gurion and the Yishuv ignored the plight of European Jews during the Holocaust.
