Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8-Exquisite photographs and concise information introduce readers to the history, traditions, and culture of this nation. Two-page overviews tackle a spectrum of topics from the first civilizations through the impact of technology on today's society. Each section includes a paragraph of information and numerous, colorful photographs and reproductions with informative captions. While none of the topics are covered in any real depth, the book will provide an inviting introduction and visual transport to the country with pictures of city and village life, the arts, "Mouthwatering cuisine," and more. However, readers interested in female adornment may be disappointed not to find any explanation of bindi or menudi. Nonetheless, this book will be a useful addition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavy but Worth it!, January 17, 2004
By steve estvanik (seattle, wa USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
These DK white books are uncommonly heavy. They don't have as much detailed information as the Blue Guides or Rough Guides, but are good for brief visits or first timers. Where they excell is their outstanding illustrations and diagrams, often cutaways. The maps are good, but the labeling system makes it difficult to locate things easily. Lots of full page color photos give a preview of the trip. It's a daunting task to try to cover India in a single guide, but this book almost does it. It's well organized, color coded by region. The picture of Palitana in the Gujarat section became the foundation for that section of our 2003 trip to India [ cascoly.com/trav/india.asp ], and the diversion provided one of the highlights of the entire 6 week trip.

Bottom line? Your best bet is to get the Rough and Blue Guides, then be sure that someone else on the trip is carrying the DK. Or buy the books you need, and then just scan the pages you need to bring with you.
