Great Photos and Examples.......2002-05-24

This a good book on trail for the money. It covers some really good tips that I didn't know and had never heard of before. Using some of the advice in this book I was able to successfully traverse a complicated trail course with my three year old in just a few days. It is easy to read and easy to understand.

Customer Reviews:

Title is misleading, not a good guide.......2003-10-05

The title of this book is misleading. The title suggests that the book is mostly about Cancun if not exclusively. However, this book is not really about Cancun, but Yucatan peninsula.
The author seems to have enjoyed everything about Mexico and does not offer any real criticism (even a comparative one)about anything. Therefore, it is hard to make a trade off between restaurants, archeological sites or theme parks. If you are going to stay in Cancun for a month that does not matter. However, we spent just one week and the book did not help us at all to choose between attractions.
It also does not give any information on differences between tour organizers, so when the same tour is offered with $20 difference, you don't know if it is because one is better than other, or just one of them happens to have some deal with the hotel you stay in.
I found that in Cancun most of the restuarants offer terrible food at very expensive prices. The book suggests that almost all restaurants are good at Cancun and also does not classify them neither based on price, nor location, but on cousine and stops short of giving price information.
It provides very little detail on Xcaret -one paragraph- which is one of the main attractions close to Cancun.
The maps in then book were lacking detail.
I was very disappointed with this book. The only positive thing about this book is, it tells the history of the area in enough details.
I do not recommend this book to anyone.

Not Bad!.......2000-03-02

this is a real cool book and shows lot's of wonderful pictures you just can't resist! plus, it so real I can't believe it but the pictures do look like the real thing!

Of 206 pgs only 36 on Cancun - buy something else!.......1999-11-21

I love the Moon Travel series, their guide to Maui is the best of all the Maui guidebooks. So I was somewhat (very) disappointed to find that this guide wasn't even in the same league. Of 206 pages, 36 are devoted to Cancun - they should have found a better name than "Cancun Handbook". The rest of the book covers Mexican history and all the other spots along the Caribbean Coast. A much better choice is the excellent "Cancun and Cozumel Alive" (which at least warns you that it is as much about Cozumel as Cancun)which I ordered at the same time.

Local information is very cursory, almost like they were trying to conserve words. Shopping in Cancun is covered in less than one page, as opposed to the 12 pages devoted to this art in the other book I mentioned. Not even a word about converting Mexican clothing sizes to U.S. sizes.

I could go on and on about this book, but it's really not worth the effort to write it, or your effort to read it. Choose something better!

Lots of vital and practical info!.......1998-09-30

"Cancun Handbook" offers a wide variety of practical and vital information on Cancun and its neighboring Isla Mujeres and Cozumel.

Chicki Mallan covers, to name just a handful of her multitude of listings, Government & Economy; Transportation; Planning a Wheelchair Cruise; Health & Safety; Mayan Glossary; Spanish Phrasebook; and, of course, Archaeological Zones.

Shops and accommodations are also covered, of course. But often, Mallan doesn't write about them with the depth that they warrant--especially the hotels along Cancun's renown "Zona Hotelera."

Book Description

The dictionary is a compilation of clear, concise and informative definitions of the characteristic vocabulary commonly encountered and used by herpetologists when discussing, reading, or writing about reptiles and amphibians. It is intended for all those who have an interest in these animals, from the amateur hobbyist who may find himself faced with what can be a rather intimidating scientific term or technical expression, to the trained zoologist who may sometimes have doubts over the exact meaning of a particular term. It will, it is hoped, not only be a useful source of reference to all who are either actively or passively involved in some aspects of herpetology whether they be keepers, curators, breeders, researchers, teachers or students, but an interesting read as well.

ELSEVIERS DICTIONARY OF REPTILES

Book Description

This book puts together a body of very recent information never before presented in one volume on the design of post-release mitigation systems. The development of a fundamental knowledge base on post-release mitigation systems, through testing and data correlation, is very new. While further research and development is needed, this practical work offers guidance on putting post-release countermeasures to work now. The book presents current engineering methods for minimizing the consequences of the release of toxic vapors, or ignition of flammable vapors, including passive and active systems intended to reduce or eliminate significant acute effects of a dispersing vapor cloud in the plant facility, or into the surrounding community. As in all CCPS works, the book emphasizes planning and a systems approach, shows limitations of any methods discussed, and provides numerous references so that the reader may continue to learn.

Book Description

The interest in membranes and higher dimensional extended geometrical objects was inspired by the great successes of the string and superstring, first in 1968-73 as a theory of hadrons and then since 1984 as a "theory of everything" - a unified theory of all interactions, including quantum gravity. In particular, membranes, "supermembranes" and "spinning membranes" have been studied since 1985; an unexpected connection with supergravity opened in 1988 some new prospects for a quantized theory. General theorems about higher dimensional "p-branes" or "extendons" were also derived. The subject is very promising, whether as a more comprehensive fundamental unification or as a description of composite hadrons.

Book Description

Following Witten's remarkable discovery of the quantum mechanical scheme in which all the salient features of supersymmetry are embedded, SCQM (supersymmetric classical and quantum mechanics) has become a separate area of research . In recent years, progress in this field has been dramatic and the literature continues to grow. Until now, no book has offered an overview of the subject with enough detail to allow readers to become rapidly familiar with its key ideas and methods. Supersymmetry in Classical and Quantum Mechanics offers that overview and summarizes the major developments of the last 15 years. It provides both an up-to-date review of the literature and a detailed exposition of the underlying SCQM principles. For those just beginning in the field, the author presents step-by-step details of most of the computations. For more experienced readers, the treatment includes systematic analyses of more advanced topics, such as quasi- and conditional solvability and the role of supersymmetry in nonlinear systems.

Book Description

In a chorus of voices The Smile of the Lamb tells the story of Uri, an idealistic young Israeli soldier serving in an army unit in the small Palestinian village of Andal, in the occupied territories, and his relationship with Khilmi, a nearly blind old Palestinian storyteller. Gradually as the violent reality of the occupation that infects both the occupier and the occupied alike merges with the old man's stories, Uri, captivated by Khilmi's wisdom, tries to solve the riddles and deceits that make up his life. Originally published in Hebrew in 1983, The Smile of the Lamb is a novel of disillusionment and a piercing examination of injustice and dishonesty.

well written.......2000-03-02

David Grossman, a very gifted Israeli author, portrays the fragile line that separates the Israeli from the Palestinians in the occupied territories. But this is far more than a political story. Here, an old Arab, while demanding withdrawal from the land held by the Israelis, loves the Jewish soldier he has captured and threatened to kill. And the soldier returns this love with a delicate sense of respect. Fraught with diverse emotions, humor and insights, this book examines the moral ambiguities and human dilemmas that confront the Israelis on a daily basis,never shaking their lengthy history with the land.
