Written for the traveler who needs information beyond what is provided in a general guidebook, Travel Resources: An Annotated Guide introduces the reader to comprehensive and specialized travel literature and resources. In this book, author Stephen Walker offers practical and accessible direction for anyone seeking detailed and valuable information on travel, while also instructing readers in ways to find information that may not be included in this guide. Organized by topic, each topic begins with information that is useful to new travelers so that anyone can begin with any topic without any previous knowledge of it. However, the book also goes further so as to provide information useful to the seasoned traveler. The wide variety of topics related to travel provide many new and possibly overlooked opportunities, even for veteran travelers, and the works included have been selected because of the depth with which each treats its subject matter, in order to ensure that each resource is of the quality that today's traveler demands.

WINNER in the Romance Category at the 2010 Beach Book Festival, New York This is a collection of tales scattered across Europe. Twelve stories about travel, culture and love. / London, Paris, Zurich, Barcelona, Ulm, Athens, Florence, Vienna, Dubrovnik, Budapest, Mykonos, Venice / PARIS--- We all like fairy tales, about love or sex, left to our personal preferences. But, once upon my reality there was me and a divorce-likely boyfriend. Me and my job and mostly me and me. So, I hit the road, the sky if you mind the details. And here we go, France so deeply in love with itself. BARCELONA--- "In your culture, people meet and make love. In mine, they first try to attract each other, to inflame passion." LONDON--- I think you know me. I am the girl next door. I have a recycled boyfriend and a job on which I hope to make a good living some day. Since high school I've lost about twenty pounds, or even more... Because the bastards are dragging around only feathery-fainted looking women, or a modern society collateral-product called a "female". ULM--- Her first impression when she arrived in Ulm (Germany) was that she got lost, strayed directly into a fairy tale. All the pictures from her sleepy childhood depicted by her mother's soft, dear voice were here. All but the prince. That one hasn't appeared yet. But they are known to be late. Sometimes they only run briefly across the story, just to keep the legend alive. Happy endings are reinvented by mothers. BIOGRAPHY--- Mina A.A. studied journalism in Europe. When she's not traveling, she lives in Florida. www.ROADATLASTOLOVE.COM
