I was expecting an anthology of travel stories. While all of the stories do involve travel, I would say that for the most part these are journalistic explorations of various cultures. Well written, but not quite what I was expecting.

THIS PRODUCT WORKS! IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. A friend recommended this and I thought I would just try a can, gave him 4 cans, wish I would have kept more..

I love these brushes!! They are made very well and are holding up beautifully!! I love that they are all different sizes and angles. They really work beautifully with all of the paints and materials I have used them with.

The Microsoft Office 2010 Step by Step series is by far the most easy to understand, careful and methodical learning guide I have ever encountered for any computer software learning. Complete with pictures to aid in showing the reader exactly what their computer should look like if they followed the steps correctly, it makes no assumptions about the individual user's computer savvy- instead defaulting to the position that they know nothing about computers (the way any good computer learning guide SHOULD be written). This series if FAR better than the so called 'for dummies' series, which always left me even more confused after I forced myself to read the first few chapters. I have two of the complete series of books on Microsoft Office 2010, Access 2010 and Outlook 2010. I fully intend to buy the rest of them as soon as I finish devouring these. This series actually makes learning fun. I highly recommend it.

Doesn't work very well. In full Southern California sunlight I could barely get it to charge my Android phone and the output was at only 43 milliamps. I was not even able to charge the batteries properly with the solar charger. It would report as charged after leaving it out all day but then when I plugged in the plus pack into a computer USB port the plus pack ended up getting charged all over again for an additional 3+ hours. This thing is a complete sham! I ended up getting a "Instapark 10 Watt Solar Panel Portable Solar Charger with Dual USB Ports" which works like advertised and you can see my review on how well that one works compared to this piece of junk.

Good overview of TOC in a fictional applied scenario. The specific situations seemed a little contrived as did the character development, but that was not the point of the book. I have since purchased additional titles by the author and am reading them.
