The Non-Connoisseur's Menu Guide is divided according to language into three sections: French, Italian, and Spanish. Each section features an overview of the cuisine, followed by a list of typical regional dishes, from appetizers through dessert. Each item is translated into English and accompanied by the correct pronunciation in the foreign language. A guide to wine selection is also included, and a glossary of useful terms (including fruits, vegetables, meats, food preparation, and spices) concludes each section.Witty food-related puns, cultural trivia, and anecdotes spice up the guide to keep it upbeat, wacky and fun. And the cultural highlights will surprise you. Did you know that the French typically eat two desserts? The first is cheese and the second is usually a chocolate treat. And they never have dessert wine with chocolate -- it's considered a waste of good wine, as chocolate has such an overpowering taste.

Written for the traveler who needs information beyond what is provided in a general guidebook, Travel Resources: An Annotated Guide introduces the reader to comprehensive and specialized travel literature and resources. In this book, author Stephen Walker offers practical and accessible direction for anyone seeking detailed and valuable information on travel, while also instructing readers in ways to find information that may not be included in this guide. Organized by topic, each topic begins with information that is useful to new travelers so that anyone can begin with any topic without any previous knowledge of it. However, the book also goes further so as to provide information useful to the seasoned traveler. The wide variety of topics related to travel provide many new and possibly overlooked opportunities, even for veteran travelers, and the works included have been selected because of the depth with which each treats its subject matter, in order to ensure that each resource is of the quality that today's traveler demands.
