One of the world lonely planets
the section on Cartagena was terrible
Only about 5 pages long

Needs much improvement

Not worth the money, limited information
I have been to Colombia twice in the past 5 years, and this book misses out on too many things.I ordered this book right when it was released, and could not agree more with the reviews.Waste of money, very limited information on such a beautiful country.Looking at it now it is obvious that the 'author' didn't actually go to the country.Save your money, learn Spanish, and then ask locals about what to see and where to go.

way below usually high standards for LP
This book was very weak - short on details and usable info, from lodging to transportation to sights. Very surprising - I've been to over 50 countries often relying on LP with great success. The Colombia edition, however, was very unsatisfactory. Don't bother buying this.

Don't spend the money!
Lonely Planet should be ashamed to put their name on this effort. Why did they even bother putting out a book on Colombia without more comprehensive information?

This book contains very little accomodation information for Barranquilla, Cartagena, and the "coffee country" of Colombia.
There are not enough accomodation details for major cities other than Bogota.


There doesn't seem to be too much updated here at all!

best of only bad choices
just got back from colombia. i brought the Bradt guide and my friend brough the lonely planet. the Bradt is horrendous. both are weak, but the LP is by far the better of the two.

the most important thing about a guide, in a place like colombia is safety. the LP recommendeds hotels in the area by the cathedral in medellin. no one happened to go there or check with the police, quite obviously, because it's one of the sketchiest neighborhoods i've ever seen, and I grew up in brooklyn! transexual hookers who rob people with knives on the blocks all around it. one simple check with the police and they will tell you it's a "critical zone."
It also mentions how safe a city it is. i really wonder how much research was done. the day we got there we saw and arrest, someone tried to get into my daypack while walking around, and then we were walking, in broad daylight, in the very crowded Parque San Antonio, and my friend and i were jumped by 5 guys with knives. they were going for my camera, though i thought i was beign kidnapped, and i was STABBED IN THE BACK! we talked to the police who said exactly where to go and where not to, and that Medellin is not nearly as safe as the guides lead you to believe.

the maps should list areas that are known to be dangerous. it's not always so easy to figure out a sketch neighborhood from a safe one.

my advice is to get the Lonely Planet, despite it's flaws. Be careful in the big cities, don't carry anything that looks expensive, and take cabs at night anywhere that looks sketchy. that said, Colombians in general are some of the nicest people i've ever met, and the country has a lot to offer. i have travelled 35 countries all over the world and grew up in nyc in tougher times. i had no problems in any of my previous travels, including brazil, mexico, guatemala, indonesia, or otherwise. i would just warn anyone going to colombia to be on your toes, and ask a lot of travelers where they stayed and where to avoid. things do happen there, and though it's a wonderful country, well worth a visit, don't walk around blind to the realities. just because the crime statistics have gone down in a given city doesn't meant that they have actually been recording all of them. for mine, no report was ever created. ...

Product Description
Undiscovered until now, this is based on the true story of the life and loves of the leading woman poet, Letitia E. Landon, a contemporary of Shelley, Byron and Edward Bulwer Lytton, and decribes her moving in circles that brought intimate contact with and knowledge of the famous such as The Duke of Wellington, Lord Melbourne, Benjamin Disraeli and Daniel Maclise, the painter. This book uses a plethora of authenticated material only recently discovered and collated by the present- day author who is a direct lineal descendant of L.E.L, and who feels a very strong empathy toward her. Letitia E. Landon, known in her day as 'The Female Byron' was one of the most sought-after writers in the late Regency period. Amazingly, the hand of this poetess and Sappho of her time, seems now still to guide the writer as he describes the events of her dramatic, lustful and yet sadly short life. She had indeed such powers when alive since she even predicted details of her own death but cleverly disguised them within another's, for 'Disguise was her delight, and delight her greatest sorrow.'We are shown an endearing character, talented, beautiful and bewitching, who was tragically cut down at the height of her powers and in her youth whilst living in Africa, by a vicious and evil mulatto murderess, the mistress of her husband the 'Governor' of the Gold Coast who used mysterious native means to bring about her demise. ...

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Franz Joseph Haydn- il n'utilisait jamais son premier prénom - né à Rohrau sur la Leitha en Basse-Autriche, le 31 mars 1732 et mort à Vienne le 31 mai 1809, est un compositeur autrichien. Il incarne le classicisme viennois au même titre que Mozart et Beethoven, les trois compositeurs étant regroupés par la postérité sous le vocable de "trinité". La carrière musicale de Joseph Haydn couvre toute la période allant de la fin du baroque aux débuts du romantisme. Il est à la fois le pont et le moteur qui a permis à cette évolution de s'accomplir. L'image du "Papa Haydn" ne vient pas des titres de Père de la symphonie ou Père du quatuor à cordes généreusement décernés au XIX siècle et même de nos jours. La création de ces genres relève d'une genèse un peu plus complexe, mais Haydn a très largement contribué à leur émergence et leur consolidation. Deux de ses frères furent également des musiciens : Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Vienne Joseph Haydn est né le 31 mars 1732 dans une famille modeste. Son père Mathias (1699-1763) était charron et harpiste amateur, sa mère, Anna Maria Koller (1707-1754), cuisinière chez le comte Harrach, seigneur de Rohrau. Il est le deuxième des douze enfants du couple, dont six survivront à l'âge adulte : À l'âge de six ans, il apprend les rudiments de la musique auprès de son cousin, Johann Mathias Franck, maître d'école et maître de chœur à Hainburg en Basse-Autriche, qui s'était engagé à le former. Dès sept ans, remarqué grâce à sa belle voix de sop...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
A beautiful collection of over 1,000 photographs from hundreds of photographers.Editor's Note: We all wear masks whether we realize it or not. Every day we put on different masks to conform to the expectations of those people around us. We have different masks to present ourselves to our mothers, our fathers, our co-workers, our lovers, and even strangers. A person who is strong willed and vibrant amongst his friends may become reserved and soft spoken when around his father. Or, someone may project the perfect image of the independent woman at work, while at home she steps into a more subservient role and caters to the needs of her husband and children. Sometimes these masks manifest themselves in subtle ways, a change in the tone of voice or a shift in posture, but people completely without masks are few and far between. As you walk down the street and look at people, you do not see who they really are; you see the persona they project to you. Photographs of people either tear away these masks, exposing the truth of the person underneath, or they build that mask up, making it completely convincing and impenetrable. Occasionally, a photograph both builds up and tears down a person's mask, simultaneously reflecting who that person is and who they wish they could be.Take Roland Dorcean's Second Prize Winning photograph, "Egg-Sercise," for instance. Dorcean's photograph of a well-built man easily provides a testimonial to the benefits of working out. In addition to his impressive physique, the subject's facial expression accentuates his tough-guy image. His head tilts slightly downward, causing his gaze to form into a "no nonsense" glare towards the camera. The viewer wonders if this presumed tough-guy is simply that, or if he uses his outward appearance to hide his true nature. Perhaps he put on this new mask in an attempt to leave behind the image he carried through high school. At a time when stereotypes latch on quickly and firmly,... ... Read more

Product Description
"Had the Oxford University Press's four-volume 'Heritage of Music' failed in all other respects, it would still be worth the price just for the remarkable selection and vivid reproduction of the copious artwork. Happily, though, this is, on just about all counts, an impressively executed undertaking....Present[s]...its information so lucidly, informatively, effortlessly, in a fashion that can be taken piece by piece, page by page, or in mighty chunks--the choice is up to the reader--[that] we will be in a better position to monitor the future progress of the art form we have come to know as classical music."--The Christian Science Monitor

"This history of Western music, lavishly presented with hundreds of color plates and illustrations, differs from the numerous single-author encyclopedic surveys in two important ways:its various chapters are independently written by 55 scholars...and stories of composers' lives are limited to the major figures...with biographical material about others consigned to short sketches at the end of each volume.This allows the authors to dwell on important compositions, placing music in its historical and social setting....A solid achievement."--Library Journal

"If one follows the authors' suggestion to listen while reading, this series should be an autodidact's delight....Illustrations are magnificent and the varied page format keeps one turning them.Both public and undergraduate libraries."--Choice

This handsome new reference is an encyclopedic record of Western music from the Middle Ages to the present day.With a lively text and copious illustrations, each volume is a complete survey of the period it covers; together the four volumes present a history of Western music as a whole. Written by renowned musical authorities,Heritage of Music is meant for everyone who enjoys music. ... Read more
