Buying Travel Services on the Internet (CommerceNet)
Durant Imboden Manufacturer: Mcgraw-Hill ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0071348719 |
Amazon.com
The Internet keeps promising a plethora of travel services, but many eager Web surfers have more search-engine headaches than bookings. After hours spent trying to book those tickets to Tahiti, they throw their hands up in disgust, kick their computers, pick up the phone, and spend some more hours in airline-hold hell. This no longer need be the scenario.Durant Imboden's guide, Buying Travel Services on the Internet, directs you to Web sites that let you shop for airline and cruise bargains, rent a car; apply for passports and visas; book a berth on a freighter; reserve a night at a five-star hotel or an eco-campground; wise up on health, safety, and weather; and pay a virtual visit to anywhere in the world from the comfort of your home. There are sites that specialize in last-minute deals and bargain flights; sites run by travel guides that provide much of their guidebook information for free; sites for maps; (worldwide and U.S.) and sites that lead you by the hand through the really tough questions: how much to pack, what kind of travel insurance to buy, and how much to tip in Guatemala or Prague. Durant Imboden, a travel writer and Microsoft employee, is both travel- and Internet-savvy. His book makes an ideal guide for the Internet maze. --Stephanie Gold

Information contained in the book is pre-1999, very dated........2001-09-20
I used this book to plan a trip to Nova Scotia. More people, when shopping, use the Internet for travel than any other category and this would tell if the book was worth the purchase price. It is not.
The listing under accommodations for both hotels and Bed & Breakfast were sparse. B&B had three listings and one page would not come up, another had been absorbed by another web site and the one that was still relevant was cumbersome to use. Hotel & Resorts had five listings four of which connected, one was co-oped. I linked my way to a site that I used to reserve accommodations.
Save your money. You can find most of what you want using a good ýbotý. A bot is a software tool for digging through data. You give a bot directions and it bring back answers... Conditionally Recommended. 2 Stars
This is the most comprehensive Internet travel guide.......1999-07-15
The only thing wrong with the book is there should be an accompanying, searchable CD-ROM so the hyper-text destinations would be instantly accessible with a web browser and a click. It would seem a publisher that would want to publish this book would understand how valuable the content would become in digital form. The negligble cost of a CD-ROM would not impact unfavorably on profits because this book is a bargain at its current price.
This guide is essential information, obviously available to anyone on the web, at the expense of countless hours of research and editing. Imboden brings an editor's skilled eye to this book which contains a world of links and the Net insider's way to save money and travel to the most interesting travel destinations on the Web.

When Titans Clashed: How the Red Army Stopped Hitler (Modern War Studies)
David M. Glantz , and Jonathan M. House Manufacturer: University Press of Kansas ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0700608990 |
Book Description
By the time Pearl Harbor had ripped apart America's peacetime pretensions, the German blitzkrieg had already blasted the Red Army back to the gates of Moscow. Yet, less than four years later, the Soviet hammer-and-sickle flew above the ruins of Berlin, stark symbol of a miraculous comeback that destroyed the German army and shattered Hitler's imperial designs.Told in swift stirring prose, When Titans Clashed provides the first full account of this epic struggle from the Soviet perspective. David Glantz, one of the world's foremost authorities on the Soviet military, and Jonathan House present a fundamentally new interpretation of what the Russians called the "Great Patriotic War." Based on unprecedented access to formerly classified Soviet sources, they counter the German perspective that has dominated previous accounts and radically revise our understanding of the Soviet experience during World War II.
Placing the war within its wider political, economic, and social contexts, the authors recount how the determined Soviets overcame their initial disasters to defeat the most powerful army ever assembled. As they vividly show, this truly was war waged on a titanic scale, sweeping across a half-million square miles from Moscow to Berlin, featuring monumental offensives and counteroffensives, and ultimately costing both sides combined a staggering forty million casualties.
Their work offers new revelations on Soviet strategy and tactics, Stalin's role as supreme commander of the Red Army, the emergence of innovative and courageous commanders in the crucible of combat, numerous previously concealed or neglected military operations, German miscalculations on the road to the Red capital, the effect of D-Day and the "second front" on the Soviet effort, and the war's devastating impact on the Soviet economy and civilian population.
An essential volume for anyone interested in World War II or Soviet history, When Titans Clashed will change forever how we look at one of the greatest military confrontations in world history.
This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.

Stories from the Barrio: A History of Mexican Fort Worth
Carlos E. Cuellar Manufacturer: Texas Christian University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0875652751 |
Book Description
Stories from the Barrio offers a new look at the history of Fort Worth. In his search to discover the roots of the Hispanic community, Carlos E. Cuéllar was surprised to discover the lack of historical documentation of the history of the fastest-growing ethnic minority in the city. Convinced that the story of these forgotten people deserved to be told--from the stories of early Mexicanos escaping hardship and terrors of the Mexican Revolution, to the attempts of second generation Mexican Americans to assimilate, to the political voice and freedoms secured by the Chicano generation--Cuéllar began to delve into public records such as city directories and interview members of the Hispanic community.Cuéllar explores the early barrios near major sources of employment and follows the rise of a business class, especially the restaurateurs. Mexicanos who served their country in World War II came home to racism and changed the landscape of the city. Today, Hispanic leaders play a proud role in the Mexican community and are an integral part of the leadership of the city.
Cuéllar's Stories from the Barrio, the first attempt to examine this community and its history, paves the way for further research into Fort Worth's diverse past.

Bravo, Doctor Cuellar.......2003-10-27
Dr. Cuellar's outstanding collection of period photographs combined with his fluid and well organized presentation make for wonderfully easy reading for non- academics while setting a serious academic blueprint for historians, sociologists and anthropologists to do similar studies of other Hispanic communities in the United States. Personally, I would like to see Cuellar encourage his students into doing similar and much needed studies of communities along the Rio Grande from Laredo to Brownsville, Texas.
