Amazon.co.uk When you first arrive in Argentina, it is difficult to believe that you are in a different continent, since Buenos Aires is reminiscent of Paris and most people are of European origin. But although it is the least foreign South American destination to many visitors, this vast country is one of the most intriguing. Geographically, it ranges from the Patagonian ice-fields to the tropics. Argentine culture is also rich: the writers Borgés, Cortazar and Juan Filloy-one of the world's greatest ever creators of palindromes-all graced Argentina in the 20th century, as did the tango, Evita and Maradona. This is the world's eighth largest country, one behind India-but whereas India's population is 1 billion, the Argentines number only 35 million. Because of its immensity, it is probably impossible to write the perfect guide to Argentina, but this Rough Guide is an admirable attempt. The Lonely Planet book is good on the south but its coverage of the western and northern regions (among the most interesting parts of the country) is patchy. This new book has superb coverage of Buenos Aires, the Pampas, the west, the north and the Andean side of Patagonia-although along the bleak (but not uninteresting) Patagonian coast it is a little less strong. Perhaps the authors were tired out by the time they reached this part of the country and if so this minor flaw should certainly not detract from a book that is excellent on many practical details and on culture, with first-rate sections on history, the gaucho and mat´ written by people who know their stuff. -Toby Green

The Rough Guide to France 10 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

Rough Guides, Ausgabe vom 2. Juli 2007, Taschenbuch, Verkaufsrang 344172
The Rough Guide to France follows its now well-established format that puts cheap eats, clubs and accommodation above comfort and style. That is its appeal for the student traveller intent on making the most of limited resources. The 2001 edition adds and updates a host of Web site addresses and includes euro price equivalents. Its 100 maps have improved measurably and its listing of map sources in England remains very helpful. Yet the guide, despite its assurance that this is an "updated" seventh edition of the book, is a remarkably similar-and unfortunately sometimes outdated-version of much earlier guides in the France series that was launched in 1995. In this Rough Guide edition, for the most part, there are fewer restaurant listings and many of the recommendations remain the same as those touted five years ago. Those with a bit more change in their pocket might find better gastronomic satisfaction from Fodor's France or Cadogan Guide to France for upmarket touring. On the plus side, the Rough Guide to France goes to great lengths to explain and encourage public transportation rather than driving. For cyclists, the list of routes, rentals and means of transporting bicycles across the Channel is one of the best for a broad-based guidebook. The camping section, too, has more depth than its competitors. Take the name of the book as a guide: it's for those who want to rough it. -Kathleen Buckley France is known as a place that will delight the senses-and this Rough Guide will help you bathe in them all, from eyefuls of architecture to the sounds of la mer lapping against the shore, the touch of designer fabrics to the smells and tastes of some of the most renowned cuisine in the world. As authors Baillie and Salmon put it, "The pleasures of the palate run from the simplest picnic of crusty baguette, ham and cheese washed down by an inexpensive red wine through what must be the most elaborate take-away food in the world, available from practically every charcuterie; such basic regional dishes as cassoulet; the liver-destroying riches of Périgord and Burgundy cuisine; the fruits of the sea; extravagant pastries and ice cream cakes.... If you feel inadequate in the face of all this choice, never be afraid to ask advice, for most French people are true devotees, ever ready to explain the arcane mysteries to the uninitiated." In France: The Rough Guide, the country's attractions are written up with creative flair and insightful advice, and the honest reviews of food and accommodations offer something for every traveler's budget. The coverage is complete with sections exploring history, cuisine, wine, literature, architectural terms, art, festivals, and politics. Bon voyage!
