It also allows the reader to brush up on their French, if only for just a few a key phrases. Each section of the book starts with a beautifully drawn artistic map of Paris which includes the destinations listed. The book includes a plethora of large photos taken by Vincent Knapp, including the interior and exterior of the buildings, as well as the view of Paris from various windows and terraces.

The author, Angelika Taschen, then delves into which hotel is best for various types of stays — vacation, honeymoon or business. Most important, Taschen includes what makes each hotel unique, illustrating that Paris has something to offer almost everyone.

The "Restaurants" portion of the book boasts Paris' rich history with cuisine, outlining the best places to eat for breakfast, coffee, lunch, dinner and dessert. Each restaurant is listed with the following information: The X-factor of each restaurant provides unique information such as Cafe Marley's terrace which overlooks the Louvre pyramid, what dish each restaurant is known for, and the likelihood of running into an A-list celebrity.

By Pamela Harris

The book lists numerous types of cuisine from traditional to contemporary French, Moroccan and American dishes. My favorite section of the book was the "Shops" section. The book includes a multitude of shops from couture clothing; to food such as chocolates, cheeses and breads; to ceramics; to perfumes and cosmetics. After reading this section you might want to consider bringing an extra suitcase for all your purchases. However, there is a handy pull-out map located at the back of the book to assist you with your planning.

World Traveler Press, worldtravelerpress. Some say travel never goes quite like we expect: It's all part of travel, and it's why you should never underestimate what might come out of a trip. Perhaps it was the kindness of a stranger, perhaps the chance to meet an interesting person, perhaps? In 23 short travel stories from award-winning travel journalists, editor and author Janna Graber has gathered the perfect combination of adventure, emotion and wanderlust, and wrapped it up in a tidy book.

What we learn from this volume is that the twisting roads of travel can lead to adventures we never imagined — and lessons we never expected to learn. Those we meet while traveling can change our journey, our experiences or even our lives. In Kimberley Lovato's story entitled Beginnings , she meets a woman on crutches with ALS in a cramped Paris elevator, and learns her mother has brought her to Paris as a treat.

Later, as Lovato looks out the window from her hotel room, she imagines a mother placing her daughter's feet on a star, and fulfilling her daughter's wish, but realizes the young woman she just met is encountering a much more difficult road than her own daughter did. An old woman in a bakery unexpectedly spills out her life story to Zullo, explaining that when she was only five years old her entire family was killed when Allied bombs fell on Messina in Nuns then cared for her, and as she got older, a young boy kept following her through town; she hid in the church of St.

Anthony for protection, and if she received it, she vowed that one day she would marry a man whose name was Anthony. When she was 18, she happened again to meet that same boy whose name was Anthony—now a man—and they were married a year later.

All true, the fascinating tales in this book, which you might want to take in your carry-on during your next big travel adventure. If you like a dose of history as part of a travel documentary, these DVDs from Woods Productions will be enjoyable viewing for you. Berlin's Hidden History features respected historian Brian Ladd showcasing some of the historic sites in the famous German city while discussing the historic importance of the locations. The capital of reunified Germany is a city with a glittering present and a dark past.

Ladd leads the viewer through the new Berlin, revealing the many traces of history in a city that served as Frederick the Great's, Bismarck's, and Hitler's capital before it became the front line of the Cold War and the place where the Berlin Wall was built and destroyed. You'll learn that there is more than meets the eye at the Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Platz, Nazi buildings, Jewish cemeteries, Checkpoint Charlie, and many other places steeped in history.

Jones takes viewers on a magnificent journey through this country of lush vegetation, rugged mountains, windswept coastlines, and ancient Celtic culture. Jones visits scenic stone ruins, Romanesque bathhouses, historic amphitheatres, ancient forts, picturesque castle remains, medieval Christian churches, and more. His unbridled passion for the people, culture, language, and history of Wales is infectious, and a fantastic introduction for the armchair traveler or anyone planning a trip to Wales.

A Guided Tour of Southwest England is an enjoyable guided tour of Southwest England, another land rich in history and drama. This 45 minute DVD is filled with exotic locations, unforgettable images, and well-crafted narration, and the video treats the history of the area with emphasis on its contrasts and conflicts.

The Rough Guide's Vintage London targets travelers who are interested in a particular kind of London experience—London is a treasure house for those seeking vintage clothing, furnishings and even cocktails.

Unlike other Rough Guides, this one is divided into two sections: It tells the traveler the best spots for finding vintage dining and shops in neighborhoods like Whitehall and Westminster, Soho and Covent Gardens, South Bank and around, Greenwich, and Hampton Court, as examples. Interlink Publishing Group, Inc. The Interlink guides offer in-depth cultural history to the great cities of the world. Unlike traditional guide books, they introduce the visitor to the city's unique contemporary identity by exploring its history. Berlin is a city that has been shaped by politicians such as Frederick the Great, dictators like Adolf Hitler and architects such as Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Hans Scharoun, and it boasts icons including the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag.

Yet no one individual put a decisive stamp on the city, which had to reinvent itself again and again because of its turbulent history. The staid baroque capital of Prussia was succeeded by the up-and-coming capital of newly united Germany; village homes replaced by tenement housing in the 19th century; the orderly development of the early twentieth century followed by the unconventional statements of modernism. After the destruction of WWII, the Berlin Wall cut the city in half both and created the brooding image of the Cold War frontier, and since the dramatic collapse of the Wall, the latest version of a unified Berlin has arisen as new Germany's capital.

Even today, the various communities that now make up the city have their own distinctive identities. This entertaining cultural guide explores the juxtaposition of Berlin's past and present in history, architecture, literature, art, entertainment and religion and offers an insider account that provides contexts for the visitor to make sense of Berlin's dazzling variety.

Interlink Publishing, 46 Crosby St. In some cases it's better to read a travel guidebook when you return from a European city, rather than before you go. Certainly reading the book before you go gives you information about why to go and what to look for.

But I've been to Prague, and now I'm reading this book, and it's a much better read, in my view, than had I read it before I went. I understand so much more now about the city's history, and understand it better, having first seen the city and its people. The Interlink cultural guide series doesn't publish practical guidebooks in the usual sense. These are cultural guidebooks, and as such, they offer an in-depth review of the city's history, people, politics and music.

You can learn a number of facts about Prague and the Czech culture reading this softbound book: Another interesting fact was that Hapsburg Emperor Rudolf II collected as many as 3, paintings and crammed them into the Prague Castle; it's said the emperor was the greatest art patron in the world at the time. I found this book an excellent read, and there's a place for it on your travel book library shelf. For this review we looked at two city guides, Prague and Stockholm, as well as the country guide to Austria.

The books are ingeniously organized with color coded sections for each area, making it easy to look up the neighborhood or section of the country you need. The page Austria guide opens with the informative section, "Introducing Austria," that contains information on discovering Austria, a brief overview of the country and its history, as well as coloful maps.

The book then guides the traveler through the most important city, Vienna, by area. Outside of Vienna the book is organized by geographical region, with brief descriptions of the important sites of each. The fully updated Eyewitness Guide to Barcelona and Catalonia and the Eyewitness Guide to Prague both include unique cutaways, floor plans, and reconstructions of major architectural sights, plus a pull-out city map clearly marked with attractions from the guidebook and an easy-to-use street index.

They are organized in the same practical way that the country guides are, only in this case by neighborhood, with the useful dining, hotel and transportation information in the back. In the summer of , seven people — members of the Junior United Alpine Club — left London on a train that would take them on a thrilling adventure across the Alps. For them it was an exciting novelty; for us it was the birth of mass tourism, and it all started with the Swiss. A century and a half later travel writer Diccon Bewes set off on the same three-week trip. His inspiration was Miss Jemima, a member of the club who kept a diary of that original journey— a diary that survived as a unique record of a historic tour.

Slow Train to Switzerland is the fascinating account of two kinds of trips from London to Lucerne. It's a revealing look at the early days of tourism, when going abroad meant 18 hour days and wearing the same clothes for weeks. It's also the story of how a nostalgic tour surprised an expat author, revealing a Switzerland very different from the present - and a stunning and unexpected personal connection with the past. That first trip represented the end of travel that was only for a privileged few and the beginnings of mass tourism.

It also helped transform a poor Switzerland into one of the wealthiest countries on earth. And now it gives us a second chance to experience travel the way it used to be: Anne Herrmann, a dual citizen born in New York to Swiss parents, has written a witty, profound, and ultimately universal exploration of identity and community. She ponders, as well, marks of Swissness that have lost their identity in the diaspora Sutter Home, Helvetica, Dadaism and the enduring Swiss American community of New Glarus, Wisconsin.

Coming Out Swiss will appeal not just to readers with Swiss roots, but also to those drawn to multi-genre writing that blurs boundaries between the personal and the historical. The author, who has been travelling in Italy for more than 50 years, offers personal and well-informed descriptions of his favorite towns, villages and especially, artworks for the visitor to Italy.

Unlike most guidebooks, this is an idiosyncractic selection of essays that nevertheless includes the most important sites and cities. It is a little like having your own personal, and most knowledgeable, tour guide. If you are a first time visitor, this small and well-organized guide is a book that will be helpful and educational; if you are already well acquainted with Italy and its art treasures, it is an enjoyable experience to read the descriptions of an expert who is not shy about offering opinions about some of the Western world's great art treasures and sites.

But in Europe, that designation goes to the Dordogne region of France. Originally called Perigord, the Romans named this vast 3,square-mile area Aquitaine in the first century B. Nestled between the northern Pyrenees, the Massif Central's mountains and the Atlantic Ocean on the West, this region, the third largest in France with a population of less than half a million, waits to be discovered. Within its borders, the Dordogne teams with as many as wine growers and wine establishments and 13 different appellations, large tracts of forests, dramatic limestone cliffs, prehistoric caves, some with dramatic artistic treasures inscribed on the walls, picturesque medieval towns, a luxuriant countryside and as many as 1, marvelously-crafted chateaus.

The four regions of the Dordogne—the Green Perigord forests , the Black Perigord caves and truffles , the White Perigord limestone cliffs and the Purple Perigord grapes are each unique and different enough that you might want to investigate several of them while there. This minute DVD introduces its audience to this laid-back region of France, explaining in detail its history and its attractions. The DVD offers detailed histories of some of the Dordogne's best visitor spots through narrated pieces by Loic Leymeregie. For those who don't know much about the area, this video tour provides an entertaining background study.

Brad Spear, an award-winning broadcaster, is the narrator. If you're planning to travel to the Dordogne or just want to learn more about it, this DVD will be extremely helpful. An international award-winning figure skater who changed careers to become a chef, Weiss expanded an earlier interest in Spanish cured meats while he was on a culinary scholarship to Spain, a country where ice-skating rinks are as rare as frozen seal blubber. Traveling to different parts of the country, he learned the Spanish arts of butchering pigs, curing hams, making sausages and preparing terrines.

Writing in a breezy, personal, but authoritative style, he explains the different Spanish methods of preserving meats and other products, not only the pork for which Spain is famous, but also beef, lamb, fish and even eggs. Even if you aren't into slaughtering and butchering your own meat, you'll learn the different methods for curing meats at home and using them in a variety of traditional and modern Spanish dishes, from tapas to terrines, from simple soups to hearty stews, and even desserts whose names mimic those of the cured meat products that show up earlier in a meal.

And for a finale, Weiss shows you how to make preserved sweets from tomatoes, quinces and angel-hair squash. This book is a welcome addition to the library of anyone interested in authentic Spanish cuisine. Italian cookbooks are perpetually popular in the United States, often topping the list of foreign cuisines about which cookbooks are published here.

But even if pasta cookbooks seem a dime a dozen these days, there's always room for a culinary book that focuses on an Italian topic less well known to readers abroad. The Cooking and Culture of a Mediterranean Island seeks to fill this gap. The author, Viktorija Todorovska, is a Chicago-based food and wine writer, travel guide, and cooking-school teacher who as also written a cookbook about the foods of Puglia, another region of Italy.

Her own travels to Sardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean, started her love affair with the complex cuisine of this ancient island, which has been influenced by successive waves of conquerors and colonizers, including Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Genoese, Ligurians and Spaniards.

Her new cookbook is a tribute to the traditional cuisine of this island, from the seacoast of more than 1, miles to the rugged mountains of the interior. The book begins with a summary of the historical, geographical and cultural factors that have shaped Sardinian cooking, followed by descriptions of important Sardinian food products, including wines and liqueurs.

The remaining pages consist of more than easy-to-make recipes, organized in the sequence of a Sardinian meal, starting with antipasti the appetizer course before the pasta comes and ending with dolci, those delicious sweets that are more often eaten as a special treat than as a dessert after a meal.

Useful headnotes at the beginning of each recipe help place the dishes in their cultural and geographical context. If you've never been to Sardinia before—or if you're planning to travel there on vacation— The Sardinian Cookbook is a good introduction to the noteworthy cuisine of this Italian island. Provence is known as a producer of some of the finest food and wine France has to offer, with a cuisine that emphasizes healthful ingredients like olive oil, garlic, fresh vegetables, and bountiful Mediterranean seafood.

This handsome softcover cookbook begins with an introduction to the region of Provence, where France, the Italian Alps and the Mediterranean meet to create an area with its own unique food, wine and cultural traditions. The book then discusses the various wines of the region and the traditions that go into producing them, especially the rose, which is a specialty of the area.

The third and final section focuses on the cuisine, organized by subregion, and accompanied by complete recipes for signature Provencal dishes. Another section at the end of the book contains helpful information on traveling in Provence. Michael Middleditch has revised and updated his hugely popular London Mapguide, first published in and now in its seventh edition. Streets and sights are mapped and named, and there is a comprehensive street index so any location can be looked up. In addition, famous landmarks, places of entertainment, etc.

The new edition is expanded to 72 pages of full color maps to include Stratford and the areas of East London around the Olympic venues, making this is the perfect book for every tourist. Every important London landmark, as well as restaurants, museums, galleries, theaters and markets are listed in easy-to-find sections according to georgraphy. The London Mapguide also includes complete bus and tube routes.

The Dordogne was one of the main battlegrounds of the Hundred Years' War between the French and English in the 14th and 15th centuries. This couple—professors emeritus of English at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin— felt that pull and quickly fell in love with the region, to the point of thinking about, exhaustively searching for and purchasing a home in the small market town residents of Castelnaud, with the ruins of the medieval Chateau of Castelnaud looming above a 1,foot ocher cliff.

Getting to know the territory, the curious neighbors, the small town French customs and traditions, visiting friends they met, and eating foods, drinking wines and fixing dishes with the ubiquitous Dordogne walnut are all investigated and digested in this tome. And thus the couple found their French house, with a 12th century castle in the back yard. They resided there in the summer for 15 years, getting to know the Dordogne and its colorful people.

By Clive Coates, Master of Wine. Author Clive Coates, a Master of Wine, has spent 40 years in France's Burgundy region and offers his insights and knowledge into that region's extraordinary wine selections through this page tome. Coates, who is able to taste the wines of the region on a regular basis, has access to the growers and their produce, and masterfully offers his opinions on hundreds of selections.

The author's books are considered classics in their field, and this new work complements his two previous works entitled Cote d'Or and The Wines of Burgundy 1, pages, published in This book is primarily for and will appeal to the advanced wine connoisseur, and to those who enjoy reading about and tasting the fruit of the vine produced in this region of France. Detailed maps of Burgundy and the various vineyards help illustrate the text, but there are no photographs in the book. Historical profiles of the domains is quite interesting and detailed, and enlivens the text.

The tasting notes are extensive and shows the passion the author has for the region's wines.

Subtle, gentle and very classy. And thus Coates, who believes in the subjective and temperamental aspects of wine tasting, and the idea that wines are to be consumed more than judged, continues his journey through the vineyards of France, offering his sage wisdom and distinguishing palate as our guide.

Buckaroo Books, avaiable from Amazon. What was it like to live and work in Europe in the mids? Author Walt Christophersen reveals that and much more in his new page softcover book that tells about the adventures of an American television reporter in Germany. Working for European Journal, a television news program sponsored by Deutsche Welle, Christophersen spent five years mostly in Cologne, producing stories for a weekly broadcast on PBS. One of the first things he learned was that Germans didn't worry about cholesterol, eating lots of cheese and sausage, and were very clean and punctual people.

A number of situations came up —some of them humorous—between him and his boss Wolfgang Rendelsmann, and some of them downright contrary. Being assigned numerous stories throughout Europe, the author had first-hand knowledge of the working environment, the countries he was assigned to do stories in, and the outcome of his work once it was broadcast.

He paints a vivid picture of everyday situations, such as finding a decent apartment, then painting it, and taking his dog to the veterinarian while in Europe.

Spain is an immemorial land like no other, one that James A. Michener, the Pulitzer Prize—winning author and celebrated citizen of the world, came to love as his own. In the fresh and vivid prose that is his trademark, he not only reveals the celebrated history of bullfighters and warrior kings, painters and processions, cathedrals and olive orchards, he also shares the intimate, often hidden country he came to know, where the congeniality of living souls is thrust against the dark weight of history.
