PRENTICE HALL TRAVEL

The lure of California remains as powerful today as it was over 450 years ago when Spanish explorers named it after a mythical earthly paradise. Ever since, California has continued to inspire dreams and fulfill promises: from the irresistible draw of gold in the 1840s to the dazzling attraction of Hollywood. The pull of this land of stunning beauty and idyllic weather has made its human landscape as rich and varied as its geography. The "Traveler's California Companion" accompanies you from the low deserts of Death Valley to lush national parks and along the rugged Pacific coast. You will explore the majestic redwood forests and the redolent wine-rich northern valleys. You will follow the traces of the gold rush and discover cultural highlights from San Francisco to the dream town of Los Angeles and on down south to San Diego, uncovering the contrasts, colors and variety that have made California legend. And you will be taken across state borders to discover two of California's most popular get-aways: the endless entertainment of Las Vegas and the endless beaches of Baja.

Long Road South: The Pan American Highway

Veining the whole of South America, the vast Pan American Highway system now seeps across both North and South America, from Alaska to the tip of Argentina. Conceived int he climate of internationalism that followed World War I, the original 10,000-mile highway revolutionized life along its path. Today this ribbon of asphalt leads from the steamy Rio Grande Valley in the north to the chilly shoes of Patagonia in the south, offering an intimate glimpse into the heart and sould of Latin America.

Most accounts of contemporary Vietnam take the retrospective approach: veterans or correspondents return for the first time since the war and compare what they see today with memories of combat tours. They dwell on their own past history, telling us little of this ancient country and its people today. The objective of this book, however, is to take a much different look at Vietnam, to examine the nation more as a modern entity than as a chapter of American military history, to provide a vehicle for mutual understanding. What, indeed, is Vietnam today, this nation of roughly seventy million people, most of them ethnic Viets, but with a significant number of hilltribe minorities, among them the Black Thai, White Thai, Meo, Muong, and Hmong of the Northern Highlands? As the many photographs in this book so beautifully show, this small country covers an incredibly diverse landscape, ranging from tropical beaches and mangrove swamps to picture-postcard rice paddies and impenetrable rainforest. With one of Asia's least developed economies - yet with a historic architecture that rivals any in the East - Vietnam today is once again under intense foreign scrutiny, by entrepreneurs from Japan, Europe, and, lately, America. A nation of contradictions, Vietnam is a Communist state with a government under rising pressure to reform both its economic and basic human rights policy. In chapters organized geographically, beginning in Hanoi, working south toward Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), and ending in the Mekong Delta, the author and the photographer explore the country through firsthand encounters with Vietnamese of every sort, showing Vietnam in a 1990s context - the culture, the geography, the resources, the landscapes, and the people. They provide a perfect introduction for the traveler to a country now experiencing a resurgence of tourist and business interest.
