I read this book before retiring to bed over several nights. I found it hard to put down, yet each time I turned the page I thought the narrative might pick up, become more personal and lead me somewhere more satisfying. Is it me? Do I lack that bit of inside information that would help me digest and put more clarity to the situation? The information came at you wholesale, floods of it...names, places, so many names and places, complicated by my lack of knowledge of places and probably politics, background and pronunciation. So many killings...don't get me wrong, I loved it and recommend it ...yet it left me wanting just that little bit more explanation. All the while I was reading the book I was constantly nagged by the question...what was ... Read More:

It's very easy to lazily regard America as the country we all love to hate without understanding in any detail how the country works or, more importantly how ordinary Americans think. This book provides a better understanding of America, is written in a clear and accessible style - it's entertaining, informative and goes beyond the myths to make America and Americans intelligible to the rest of us. Read it and then make your own judgement, but at least read it. An excellent book.

23.Dry Store Room No. 1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum by: Richard Fortey September 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.39 You Save: £3.60 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.92
This more than just a description of a museum. This is also a journey into the history of the natural sciences and a part biography as well. Well illustarted, Richard Fortey describes an institution that is trying hard (and succeeding if the new Darwin Centre is any guide)to move with the times, make science accesible to the public, yet has more going on behind the scenes than we could ever give credit. Anyone who lives in or visits London should pay more than one visit to this marvelous place, and thanks to this book they will be well briefed as to what goes and has gone on there.

This is a lovely coffee table book, and I enjoyed a good couple of hours flicking through and dreaming of going to all the lovely places in it. However, when I finished I did think it hadn't offered much more than flicking through some travel brochures - something which made me question the price tag when you consider that these can be picked up for free in any travel agents. All that said it has beautifully shot photos and has the USP of the month by month planner of the best places to go. It also tells you about some of the less well know things to do (although in some cases it misses some of the best out because of it). I would actually give this 3 and a half stars if I could. My summary is that it is beautiful but shallow.

25.New York City (Lonely Planet City Guide) by: Ginger Otis, Beth Greenfield, Regis St. Louis, Robert Reid September 01, 2008

found it much more useful then the time out NYC guidebook. Went to a couple of suggested bars which were fun. the pull out map is particularly useful. However, NYC is a city you want to get lost in so don't get the guidebook out too often!

26.Pies and Prejudice: In Search of the North by: Stuart Maconie February 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.11 You Save: £2.88 (41%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.24
For the most part, this book is entertaining and witty. Maconie's enthusiam for his subject is contagious and the stuff you are learning is genuinely interesting. Then he stops writing about Lancashire and starts on Yorkshire. I can't help but think that this book would have been better if Maconie had stuck to what he knows, ie: the west side of the Pennines. Quite how, for example, he can make various claims about 'professional Yorkshiremen' (a dying breed anyway) and deny the existence of the Lancastrian equivalent is an unforgivable oversight that kind of gives away where Maconie's loyalties lie. They are not called 'professional Lancastrians' as such, but how many 'professional Scousers' and 'professional Mancs' could we name? Is Stuart ... Read More:

27.Make the Most of Your Time on Earth: a Rough Guide to the World: 1000 Ultimate Travel Experiences (Rough Guides Reference Titles) by: Rough Guides September 27, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £13.89
This book is great, there is a big wide world out there and dipping into this when you have 5 minutes you are sure to find something to excite and interest you. Obviously its not a guide book in the true sense but there are some fantastic sound bite nuggets in there that have inspired about 5 years worth of future holidays for me.

We've just come back from honeymoon and used this book when we visited Cairo and particularly the incredible museum... the descriptions are spot on and the book guides you thru' room by room. Our tour guide was saying practically the same things as the book, so its all you need! Dress codes for women in Cairo aren't as strict as the book makes it out to be, there were loads of girls with string tops and shorts, so long skirts and long sleeved shirts aren't necessarily a must!! Other than that, pretty accurate about local customs and traditions.

I have had some wonderful days out with this book. It is highly recommended, an interesting often educational read with great photography.
