Although many travel guides take mostly adults along with them, this Discovery Channel product includes material for all members of the family. It provides a wealth of background information and assumes you will be exploring places and meeting people rather than staring out your hotel window the whole trip (recommended lodgings are rather scanty). The design is clever, with built-in place markers, and most of the text eschews stereotypes and outright errors in terms of history and descriptions of culture. The maps support the text well and are not so detailed as to be confusing, and the choices of attractions certainly should satisfy a first-time visitor or one who wants to take a few steps away from the tour bus. The photographs are outstanding as well as honest, and the text includes a few well-chosen words of advice about local customs. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
