摘要
Moon Spotlight Tikal & Guatemala's Petén is a 60-page compact guide covering Tikal, the best-known Mayan ruins, and Guatemala's lowland jungle region. Author Al Argueta offers his seasoned advice on what sights are must-sees and includes maps with sightseeing highlights so planning your time is easy. This lightweight guide is packed with recommendations on sights, entertainment, shopping, recreations, accommodations, food, and transportation. Helpful maps make navigating this adventure-filled area uncomplicated.
Moon Spotlight guides are affordably-priced, lightweight guides covering a smaller geographic region than Moon Handbooks or Outdoors guidebook series. The travel content in a Spotlight guide is pulled directly from individual chapters of larger Handbooks or Outdoors titles, with no introductory information (such as When to Go or Planning Your Trip), and no indexes. The results are compact guides to popular destinations that provide travelers with what they need to explore a specific locale in depth with fewer pages of very focused information.

Gr 3-7These introductory overviews of broad ecological regions of the globe and the peoples who inhabit them cover a lot of material in a very few pages. Of the two, Rain Forests, which profiles the tropical areas of Latin America, Africa, and Asia, is more successful. Oldfield clearly explains tropical rain forest ecology and the importance of such resources to people throughout the world. The author acknowledges the economic pressures and exploitation that threaten the ecological balance but also includes examples of alternatives such as forest reserves and national parks that may help curb the rapid destruction. Unfortunately, there is no mention of temperate rain forests. The full-color photographs, while adequate to support the text, are often small and sometimes marred by the loss of visual information in the gutters. However, the illustrative problems are greater in The Arctic. For example, a small map showing the range of Arctic peoples has tiny lettering that is difficult to read. Some of Rootes's shifts in tense create a certain ambiguity about which activities and beliefs are part of the past and which are part of contemporary culture. He is less careful than Oldfield to define terms. Of the two books, Rain Forests is better written.Kathy Piehl, Mankato State University, MN (c) Copyright 2010.

The varied people and ecologies of these land areas are presented in readable texts. Colorful photographs, diagrams, and sidebars of additional information supplement the texts to give a balanced picture of how each of these fragile ecosystems works, how each is threatened, and how each can be protected. Unfortunately, the page layouts are busy and distracting. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
