"An overview of the Anasazi culture but more from the perspective of someone who has a broad knowledge of the subject. This seems so far a disjointed string of articles and notes from the author. Roberts brings to light some little known facts about e...more

recommended for: Anglophiles
read in May, 2008
L.J. said:
"A mediocre read on any level. Bryson is a great linguist and does an apt job with the material, presenting the British isle from tip to tip in his cynical and funny style. Several passages were funny but this is not as fun to read as his Australia bo...more

L.J. said:
"Good travel essay as the writer crafts a unique story about his wayward journey in the Red Sea. Because there is not very many travel books coming out of this region it is one of the finest I have found, dated now as most of the events occured back 3...more

L.J. said:
"A classic, great story, well written, fascinating and really good argument on so many levels. Between this and 1984, Orwell stands at a very high level in political novel fiction genre (is there such a genre?). The book is so straight forward and sim...more
