Let me state upfront that at one point I lived in Washington DC (near Tenley Circle) and suburban Maryland (Bethesda) for 4 years earlier in my career, that my youngest went to college in DC and that I regularly go to DC for work and other reasons. In other words: I am quite familiar with DC. The other day I saw this book at my local library here in Cincinnati. Curiosity got the better of me and so I picked it up, wanting to see how DK Eyewitness Travel presents Washington.

"DK Eyewitness Travel: Washington, DC 2015" (2014 release; 238 pages) starts off with about 30 pages of "Introducing Washington, DC", immediately providing suggestions on what essentials to see, depending on whether you have 1, 2, 3 or 5 days, and then going into some further background such as the history of the city. Then we get into the heart of this travel guide, a 100 page section where it covers the 5 main areas of the city (the White House/Foggy Bottom area, Capital Hill, Georgetown, etc.). As I am very familiar with the Foggy Bottom area, I carefully read up on that section, and I must say, I am very impressed with what I found. Maps galore, detailed information street-by-street and sometimes building-by-building (or even room-by-room, for the White House), lots of great looking pictures, etc. Check out the spot-on comments about the DAR Memorial (Daughters of the American Revolution). The last section of the book gives practical information on hotels and eateries, which I happen to think is not the most critical information (people tend to find hotels in different ways, but not very often from a travel guide).

I was looking forward to this book as I love visiting National Parks. But once I received it, I was horribly disappointed. First off, there are no secrets. They talk about the main trails in the parks that everyone hikes and are available on every map and in every trail guide. Second, the information I read was very inaccurate. They were off on the distance of some hikes by over a mile. Their trail descriptions were also way off the mark. I was reading about one trail in Capitol Reef National Park that they likened to the Narrows in Zion. They are in no way similar except they are both in Utah. They also mentioned picking up free guides that are in no way free. The guide they talked about is only available for purchase through a non-profit organization that runs bookstores in National Parks.

I should have known better since their Trails Illustrated maps are also very inaccurate, but I was hoping they would have caught on and researched a little better.

Since my wife and I retired a number of years ago, we’ve been to sixteen of our national parks, most of them in the West. Over the years, we’ve accumulated a huge stack of guidebooks and maps which we’ve relied on to help get the most out of our park visits. I was a bit skeptical about another "secrets" or "insider’s" guidebook adding anything to our library of park information, but I was pleasantly surprised by the new NatGeo book. The NatGeo editors called on experienced travelers to visit 32 of the most popular national parks to find hidden gems and lesser known experiences that can make a trip to a national park a more memorable experience. There’s also a chapter that gives brief half-page highlights of 26 lesser known parks.

In my opinion, they succeeded in their mission. In our case, my wife and I have been to Yellowstone and Grand Teton four times, with a fifth trip coming up in two months. As much park lore as we’ve picked up over the years, I still found some new ideas for exploring both parks. Perusing the book for other national parks that we’ve been to, I had several "oh shoot" moments when I read about park features we had missed.

The book’s format for most parks begins with some brief background information and history of the park, follows with descriptions of "undiscovered" park features and how to reach them, and includes maps and stunning color photography. There are also tips about seasonal experiences and best time of day for landscape views and wildlife sightings.

The book is not intended to replace other park guidebooks, which are more comprehensive. For example, it doesn’t include information about lodging, restaurants, or how to get to the park. Instead, this book focuses on lesser known or off-the-beaten-path features that many guidebooks overlook.

Highly recommended for anyone planning a visit to one of our national parks.

Although the book is beautifully produced (as National Geographic publications tend to be), my biggest complaint it that the title should have been "Secrets of Some of the National Parks". I ordered the book sight unseen, and was very disappointed when I read it. I recommend that potential buyers flip through a copy before purchIDg because there’s a strong chance the park you’re interested in is not covered. Nearly one-half of the national parks only get brief mention at the back of the book, including all of Alaska’s parks, Saguaro, North Cascades, Lassen, and Great BID. What are left are national parks that are so popular that the information provided is only a "secret" to folks who have never visited any national park.

The book is fairly inexpensive, and a convenient size, so some people may find it worth owning a copy, but there are many other publications that are still reasonable priced and cover all of the parks, with much more comprehensive coverage.

One of the most useful travel books I have read. Contains countless practical tips for budget travelers as well as those with a little more to spend.

On his travel guide sections- I find that I travel in the same way and use the same methods as Matt. Similar splurges, similar evaluations of where to spend and where not to. And I like that Matt leaves things open and doesn’t recommend which specific places to stay and eat, just provides descriptions of what the levels of accommodations and travel are like as well as gives examples of local food and attraction prices.

But most important to me is that this book and his blog, inspire me and give me courage to travel more outside my comfort zone. You just have to realize that no one wants to hurt you (99.5% of the world), people weaker/less skilled than you are travelling every day, and if things just don’t work out you come home. I find myself increIDgly motivated to travel and live around the world and have made actual steps towards these goals because of this book. Can’t recommend highly enough to travelers, those about to travel, or those who are scared of it.

Go

This book starts with the basics of saving, budgeting, and planning. Some may find the bits on how to budget your current spending a bit too basic. I found them to be the "start with the fundamentals, practice the fundamentals" type of foundation advice. The chapter on banking overseas is excellent and provides great advice for someone banking at home. (Did you choose your bank or just fall into it?) His coverage of buying tickets and the important but often overlooked travel insurance is full enough to ensure the traveler doesn’t waste cash on these essential items.

Part 2 on money saving tips provides the checklists you ignore at the peril of your spending rate.

Part 3 covers specific destination with terse, what you need to know without unnecessary detail, coverage. Exclusion of the Middle East and Africa prevent the book from being comprehensive. For the rest of the world, food, accommodation, travel, attractions and activities are covered. Each section ends with "How much money do you need?" and for more expensive countries (eg, Australia) he is clear that $50 a day is not realistic.

The main text concludes with putting it all together. Author Matt reminds you that the $50 a day is based on his his costs and experiences when actually travelling around the world. He then presents a sample budget for a one year round the world excursion.

Some of the negative reviews have been dismissive about some of the tips. Matt understands that what is common sense simple for one reader is a needed reminder for another. As you go through the book its comprehensive, high level coverage of how to travel on a sensible budget will enable you to go where you want without cost being the barrier to departure.

I have to say that Matt has really outdone himself with this one. Talk about traveling on a budget – this guy writes out specifically how to do it. There’s no way that after reading this book, you won’t save money on your next trip!

He takes an out-of-the-box approach to traveling. He gets you out of your hotel-taxi-vacation-comfort-zone and into a spend-like-a-local-savings-mindset. He takes the overrated-glitz out of vacationing and leaves you with insight on how to connect to simple culture experiences that make your trip overseas memorable. Best of all, he teaches you how to make your money stretch so you can travel longer!

As a seasoned solo traveler who prides herself on getting around on a very, very tight budget, Matt’s advice has definitely knocked me off my feet. He’s introduced me to things like tourist attraction cards, travel credit cards, Skyscanner, Meetup, Vayable, Airbnb, house sitting, and has even had me considering using Campinmygarden.com! Matt’s book is an inspiration to those who think that traveling is just for the rich. His writing style is easy to read and his tips are easy to follow.

I highly recommend this book to anyone hoping that you will have enough money to take your dream trip. With Matt’s advice – that dream trip is much, much closer than you think! Matt does the research, so you don’t have to! Thanks Matt!

As with most things test related, any practice is good practice. Seems to be a decent study guide although I would not solely rely on it

This worked well for our child who used it as a self-study guide over a couple weeks before taking the actual test. It has a practice test, and ERB publishes a free practice test, and that seemed like enough practice.

It was ok but the test offered for free on the ISEE website was just as helpful. I would also say the free flash cards offered on quizlet & other sites are more helpful.

It all starts when a patient drifts in and reluctantly begins telling his story. He tells the doctor he doesn’t want to drag him in because he knows how it will drag him in and eventually crush him. The doctor sees this as part of a delusion, however, and tells the man to go on. So he tells him about a place where there are stones you can see and count that correctly numbered 7. Still, when you eithe rlook the wrong way or you photo this, it comes out differently. A stone is missing. This leads to other, more serious implications, and to the notion that this means something. It also leads to deaths and to the doctor needing to know. when the doctor goes there he sees something, too, and what he sees is troubling because the truth is an oddity in the making.

When "n’ came out, it came out on the computer. It was collected in a book of short stories as well, and this collection does the story justice. Still, the graphic novel depiction of "n" is a beautiufl, beautiful thing. When you see the stones, for example, they seem sinister. They have this way of looking at you as you look at them, and they make youthink that something could indeed be wrong. The same can be said for the place itself. When art is added, a field becomes more than a field, having this look that makes you think of an accursed arena. It seems like there is something aobut it and then there are the things, the "proff," and that is creepy.

"n" also relies on characters to tell you the story and this is powered by some actions and dialog. Both are powerful in this tale and I really liked the way it came out here. I wanted to know if the men were mad and I wanted to see what could be happening. I saw something in one of their minds, too, and in the thing they thought could be.
Tucked away off an inconspicuous dirt road Motton, Maine – right on the eastern bank of the Androscoggin River and not far from the town of Chester’s Mill (which also seems to be experiencing more than its fair share of supernatural activity as of late!) – sits an ominous patch of land known by the locals as "Ackerman’s Field." Named for its earliest recorded owner, Ackerman’s Field is home to a mysterious, Stonehenge-like rock formation consisting of eight – or maybe seven, depending on one’s point of view – giant boulders, in the center of which exists a portal. A gate. A rip in the very fabric of the universe. On the other side? Unspeakable evil, straining to break through. Only the keeper of the field – the person who, through the simple (and oftentimes unwitting) act of bearing witness, activates this "thinny" – can keep the monsters at bay. In August 2006, this person became Nathan N. Nance.

Based on the short story of the same name (published in the wonderful JUST AFTER SUNSET), STEPHEN KING’S N. is a faithful adaptation of Stephen King’s story. (Oh, how I wish screenwriters would take a clue from comic book artists. Who are they to think they can improve upon the work of Stephen King? He’s Stephen King, yo! Exhibit A: UNDER THE DOME.) Most of the short story is told in the form of case notes and an only partially finished manuscript; here, these scenes are translated into panels in which "N." meets with his psychiatrist Johnny Bonsaint and relays the story to him (and us!) in real time. From there begins Dr. Bonsaint’s own descent into madness. We’re also treated to an additional backstory about the field’s origins (dating back to Andrew Ackerman), as well as its future in the hands of celebrity doctor (and childhood friend of Dr.

Regardless of the admiration I got for Walt Murch, “In the Blink of an Eye” was a squander of money. The particular book is certainly the records of a address he presented at a motion picture school, and his credit rating, it was not necessarily Murch who seem to came up with thinking about marketing this a full length book. He or she did try out lengthen this specific edition by building a section about digital editing and enhancing, but still, typically the book is catagorized short of requirement.
Murch’s insights in to film editing and enhancing, both film-based and electronic digital, are worthwhile, and I may recommend obtaining the publication from the collection or seated and reading through it in your local book shop – it’s that quick, but this a owner.
I got myself this book looking to get some actual tips to editing and enhancing – what precisely makes a good minimize and what does not have to, pacing, and so forth, etc ., and so forth, but My partner and i came apart with just one single – minimize when you blink. Murch’s “blink theory” will be interesting, yet there’s considerably more to editing and enhancing than just that will. I was searching for more from a single of the best publishers in the business.
Murch may discuss most of his own encounters while editing and enhancing movies for instance “Apocalypse Now” and “The English Patient”, but does not have to really look into the chopping itself in addition to why he / she chose selected shots or even cut some sort of scene the specific way. The particular book in addition discusses a history of electronic digital editing and future yet seems to concentrate on the thinking of more mature directors in addition to editors the same who appear to be afraid of transform and persist, like Sophie Spielberg who seem to bought upwards every Motorola editing technique and appointed enough techs who can repair the historic editors in order that he will not have to fire upwards that computer system, that “the old way” is better than the modern one.
Murch is apparently in the middle of typically the debate.
In order to merely clarify “what motion picture editing is” would be really worth the price of this guide, and

the things i expect as i read an e book on motion picture editing, yet this book will go far over and above that.

This guide almost very easily explains “why film editing and enhancing works, inches “how motion picture editing performs, ”

in addition to “what a persons experience wants and desires from motion picture editing. inches

It does this specific in an partaking style, having a remarkably-few,

well-chosen words. It is a truly excellent little publication.

It educates some slick concepts readily, with basic historical good examples.

(How filmmaking is like firefox, or such as music, or even literature or even art, one example is. )

The concepts will be clear, additionally they stick in your brain, and revisit

to one after, usually whilst in the middle to do something else.

It means to me not only the conscious head

understands precisely what Mr. Murch has authored, but the

unconscious head as well.

We are very pleased for that, for the reason that

my subconscious mind will be my resource.

Mr. Walt Murch isn’t only one of the most talented film publishers ever,

he’s clearly considered and mulled and quantified what he / she knows in the bones,

in order that others may learn from that.

Beethoven authored great audio, (and, based on Mr. Murch, was certainly one of

the dads of cinema), but does Beethoven set a little publication that discussed

what having been trying to perform, or the ideas behind it, or even what he previously learned

about how exactly it ran, and how to generate future jobs work in not much different from the way?

No, unfortunately. I’ve look over letters coming from Beethoven, yet found

his or her process evasive.
