Review:

From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there, chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has the experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money.

From the stunning splendor of Igua�u Falls to the mysteries of the Amazon River to the wild debauchery of Carnival and the cosmopolitan streets of S�o Paulo City, Lonely Planet's Brazil will help you navigate this vast country in the style that suits you, from low budget to no budget. Highlights include extensive coverage of parks and festivals, well-researched sections on ecology and the environment, a Portuguese language chapter, and a special feature on Carnival. --Kathryn True
