Review:

"We've hiked 85 miles of the trail so far and have found this guide extremely helpful. The directions to the trailheads are accurate. The maps in each section would allow a person to hike the trail without the separately available map series. The synopsis of each segment lets you know what to expect. En route mileage for key features helps you know where you're at on the trail. We reset our GPS for each segment and use this feature a lot." - Shannon, H.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Die Glocken der Schafe, das Rauschen des Meeres und das Knistern des Feuers... Von den geschäftigen Straßen Palmas mit Ihren Geschichten und Geschäften führt die Reise in die Berge der Tramuntana; knatternd und rumpelnd mit dem Zug durch die Orangenhaine. Der Eisenbahndirektor Juan erzählt aus der Geschichte der Bahn nach Soller, Christian schildert die Empörung der Dorfbewohner Valldemossas beim Auftritt von Chopin und George Sand, und Bianca plaudert über Fauna und Flora der Höhenzüge.

Lauschen Sie dem Wind, der zwischen den Ruinen von Alaró pfeift, den Klängen in der Höhle von Arta und der Blaskapelle, die zum Tanz der Teufel aufspielt. Mallorca zwischen Orten wechselvoller Geschichte und genüsslichen Ruheplätzen, zwischen lautem Knattern und stillem Knistern.

Great!!

This book made my life easier, on my trip to Beijing. It is a smaller book than all the other tourist guides in Beijing, but has it all. The guide has all the basics you need on what sites to see and where to try eating. Bought two others in Hong Kong and Bangkok and they got me to all the top sites and helped me identify some great spots off the beaten track - highly recommend.

Great travel guidebook!

This is such an extremely helpful and useful book. This guidebook is perfect because I will be visiting all three cities included! Very in-depth information that goes into not only the tourist attractions and sites, but also the regional, political, religious, linguistic, and socioeconomic history. It has great in-depth information on what to visit and why. Highly recommended!

A Great travel guide to one of the worldâs greatest destinations!

General info on Beijing, where to eat, what to do and much more! If you are planning a holiday to China, this book will be of great help. It is like your personal tour guide in and around Beijing. I will definitely make use of it in the near future myself.

Not worth the money

This hardly a book. It is more of an informative brochure for someone who has absolutely no knowledge of Beijing China. Save your money. I returned it as soon as I could.

Okay, but don't expect much

Weather - summer and how men should dress fur it. Ummm .... Okay, I'm going in January and I'm not a man. So ....what little information there is, it is useless to me.

Nice summaries of top sites to see.

There are much better books on Beijing. Yes, they are probably more expensive. You get what you pay for. This is like the cliffs notes version, written by someone aiming for a C grade.

Title: The Western River Steamboat

Author: Adam I Kane

Narrator: Bill Wiemuth

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-27-17

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

The first Western steamboat was built in 1811 in Pittsburgh, and thousands more were constructed in the years before the Civil War. These waterborne vehicles helped define the nineteenth century trans-Appalachian West. Decades of incremental changes created a distinctive watercraft, and the steamboat became perfectly suited to the conditions of the western rivers, transforming the west from a wilderness into a place of economic significance. In The Western River Steamboat, nautical archaeologist Adam I. Kane traces the development of this once commonplace vessel. Kane describes the importance and impact of the steamboat in American history and complements his historical analysis with clear, concise technical explanations of the construction and evolution of western river steamboats. Kane explains how the rivers dictated the design of the hull, why stern wheels replaced side wheels, how hogging chains kept hulls from buckling, and why safety valves were of little use when engineers regularly overloaded them.

Members Reviews:

Well done archaeology of technological adaptation

This book is a discovery through historical archaeology, of the lost knowledge of how the Mississipi steamboats were built. It structures this as the story of technological adaptation of shipbuilding to the environmental and economic circumstances of Mississipi Basin settlement and development. The content is focussed on hull design and building, and, drawing on archaeological excvation of a hulls found in the river mud, does this very well. The discoveries from excavation are augmented with historical research. Being an academic book, it is thorough and expects intelligence of the reader, but is well within the ability of an 'educated layperson' to read. Unlike some strains of academia, it is thankfully free of ponderous and fashionable theories, and stays down to earth and focussed on its topic. It does however have very good endnotes and references, so it is always possible to answer the question "how does he know that?". It presents many diagrams of hull structure, so is well illustrated, and the text is economically (well) written. It does not give 'ship's lines' or worked-up plans and elevations, so modellers will need to go elsewhere for that. But is is an excellent primary resource for those interested in this branch of 19th century wooden shipbuilding.

Excellent Study of Steamboat Construction

An academic but nevertheless interesting look at the steamboats of the American west from their start till about the time of the Civil War. Kane using nautical archeology and research to show how the construction of the steamboats evolved from near duplicates of Atlantic coast vessels to ones specifically designed for the most efficient use on the western rivers. He thoroughly covers the design and construction of the boats, assisted by many photos and illustrations. Although the book is rather short, it covers the topic very well and would be an excellent companion book to other studies like Steamboats on the Western Rivers: An Economic and Technological History by Louis C. Hunter.

An excellent piece of research work.

One of the best books on this subject. Particular mention should be made of the level of technical detail concerning the boilers and engines of these craft.

Title: Even in the 1700s, Book Clubs Were Really About Drinking and Socializing

Author: Sarah Laskow

Narrator: Jamie Renell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-17

Publisher: Atlas Obscura

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

In theory, book clubs are supposed to be about reading and discussing books. In practice, they are often more about hanging out with a group of people, drinking, gossiping, and generally having a nice evening. Depending on the percentage of the group that has actually read the book, it may be discussed, or it may not. The book is the excuse, not necessarily the point.

"Even in the 1700s, Book Clubs Were Really About Drinking and Socializing" is from atlasobscura.com, published on June 26, 2017.

Riepilogo Editore:

"Ti porto in viaggio" è il nuovo audiocast prodotto in esclusiva per Audible dai viaggiatori di TBnetmedia. Ogni episodio porta il nome di una città e ne racconta l'esplorazione curiosa e profonda, tra suggerimenti, itinerari, scoperte ed emozioni. Una voce che ti racconta una città: un modo nuovo e più che mai cool di scegliere la tua prossima meta o di rivivere i tuoi viaggi e confrontare le tue esperienze in attesa di tornarci.

La città dei sogni, la Grande Mela che non dorme mai, la metropoli infinita, aliena, colorata, cosmopolita: New York è un'esperienza che prima mette alla prova e poi seduce. Dopo che avrete visitato New York, ben poche città reggeranno il confronto.

E gli itinerari qui sono quanto mai infiniti e incrociano la storia, quella vera: da Ellis Island a Ground Zero, passando per Columbus Park e (quel che resta di) Little Italy. E poi il fascino di Soho, tra gallerie d'arte e coffee shop, la miglior cheesecake della città, il Greenwich Village, con i suoi locali: la storia del jazz e del rock è passata di qui. E infine Brooklyn, con Williamsburg, il quartiere simbolo del movimento e dello stile hipster.
