Title: Best guidebook for history and culture Review: This is an excellent travel companion for cultural and historical information on Iran, as well as for tips on out-of-the-beaten-track experiences for the more adventurous and intellectually curious traveler. The book is nicely bound and will take the beatings of travel, and it is small enough to fit in most pockets. Do NOT expect it to provide the best info on where to sleep and eat. Bradt guides are not meant for that. I would recommend buying the LP guide for that purpose and take both books along on your trip. The two are really conceived for different and complementary purposes. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Wonderful Stories with Practical Applications Review: This is a terrific book of stories that illustrate many of the basic tenets of Therevada Buddhism. The author, Ajahn Brahm, was a student of the great Thai teacher Ajahn Chah and he brings to life the essence of Buddhist thought. The stories are easy to relate to, even if you've never spent a day in a monastery. The chapter on Creating Happiness alone is worth the price of this book. As Westerners, it can be difficult to reconcile the realities of day to day living with our overwhelming desires for control and happiness. We strive so hard to change our external world that we fail to recognize that no change is possible without inner change. This book will tell you how to look at life in a way that allows you happiness under the most difficult of situations. It is written in a humourous style and can be read straight through, or opened at random whenever you need a pick me up. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: My son was so bored by this - sorry! Review: Hi,In a nutshell, if you have a visual learner who likes colour, or one who struggles to blend this book is not for you. My four year old was totally turned off by this so instead, we purchased the online Headsprout programme and now he is a really confident reader in a short time. My advice is to go for a different book but if your budget allows, buy Headsprout because it is brilliant and it works. My son loves reading because of that programme.Hope that helps you.Faye Is the review positive or negative?
