Portrait of the Panama Canal: From Construction to the Twenty-First Century Centennial Edition (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"I purchased this book while on the maiden voyage of the Norwegian Star from Miami to Los Angeles while transiting thru the Panama Canal. It was a historic trip as the ship was the largest tonnage vessel to transit the canal. The vessel was nearly as long as the locs could hold and the width was at its maximum as well. I understand the vessel paid the highest recorded fee of $214,000. To read the book and learn about the incredible construction of the canal both in the early 1900's and still today as we were actually transiting the canal was exciting. The book added to the most Awesome trip. The book was a fasinating read and very informative, making my trip truly a once in a lifetime adventure. I would highly recommend this book to others." A wealth of information about Panama, a great book if you are thinking about exchanging a Holiday Holiday property in Panama.

"I purchased this book while transiting the Canal on the maiden voyage of the Norwegian Star . This was a historic trip, as the ship was the largest tonnage vessel to transit the canal. It also paid the largest fee of $214,000. The ship was designed to exacting specifications and barely cleared by width and length. To read the book regarding the canals history while transiting at the same time was exciting! The book's read is light and most informative. It added a great deal for me to what was already a "Trip of a Lifetime". I would highly recommend this book to anyone of any age. Truly Awesome!!!" This book has a wealth of information about Panama. So take it with you when you Exchange a Vacation Casa in Panama.

"The first thing you'll notice about this book is the beautiful photos, marking the canal's history and beauty. The second thing you'll notice is this is no ordinary coffee table book. The writing is substantive, informative and engaging. It makes a great gift for someone who's going to Panama or has been there." Before exchanging a Holiday Villa in Panama, I would read this book while in Panama.

"An accurate account of current operations along with an historically correct and dramatic story of the effort that went into the creation of the Panama Canal which was the "moon shot" of its day. The book contains dozens of colorful pictures showing the Isthmus of Panama, the Canal Zone and the Canal. It features impressive photos of Gailliard Cut, the locks and the many Indian tribes who live in Panama." Relax with this book when on Vacation in Panama. It would be so handy when you Exchange a Vacation Casa in Panama.

"Dramatic photos of the Panama Canal with concise text featuring the history of the creation of the Panama Canal which reads like an adventure story BR One of the few books that I have seen that also provides information on the Canal Zone along with some photos of tourist attractionsBR I recommend this book highly for those who want to learn more about this vital international waterway as it is more and more in the news due to the fact that it will be transferred to Panama in l999." This book has a wealth of information about Panama. So take it with you when you Exchange a Vacation Property in Panama.

"Not only does Friar present a wonderful historical synopsis of the Canal, he also paints a verbal picture of life as a child growing up in the Canal Zone. The photographs of the Canal are some of the best I have seen. The captions are not "one-liners," they actually describe the what the reader is seeing in the photograph. The reader should come away with a very good knowledge of Panama Canal history and an understanding of how the Canal operates all within the 2 to 3 hours it takes to read the book." Before exchanging a Alternative Holiday Casa in Panama, I would read this book while in Panama.

Reviews:

"I have been traveling around the world for a while and this is the worst guide book I have ever used. The maps are inadequate. The information is far from complete. The descriptions seem to be more political propaganda than a picture of Central America. This book tells you what to think instead of letting you know what to expect. It took the joy out of traveling and it's lack of information put my safety at risk." This book has supper information on , well worth reading if you exchanging a Alternative Vacation Property in .

"I found this book adequate for my needs of traveling from country to country in Central America over four months. It was lacking in some detail at points, but I enjoyed its easy to follow format and thought the maps were great. If you're spending just a bit of time in each country this is a great book to consider. If you are going only to one or two countries in the region, consider buying books specific to those countries. The format was easier to follow than lonely planet's central america guide." Before exchanging a Vocation or Holiday Cottage in , I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in .

The Path Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal 1870-1914 (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"I certainly did not expect too much excitement from a 700 pages book about the Panama Canal, but David McCullough did an excellent job. He obviously did a lot of research, but his true accomplishment is putting all the little fragments together to one exciting story. This is not just history, it is politics, business, engineering, medicine, etc. And best of all, it is very well written and easy to read. I like it even better than "Truman", McCulloughs most famous book." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Alternative Vacation in Panama. It would be so usefull when you Exchange a Alternative Vacation House in Panama.

"Perhaps I am biased, having grown up in the Panama Canal Zone. All prejudices apart, though, this is the single best "history" book I have ever read. With a cast of characters worthy of a Tolstoy novel, McCullough gives the reader a thorough understanding of the magnitude and impact the little Isthmus of Panama has had on the history of the world.

This is much more than history. Indeed, the common claim that it reads like a novel is not an exaggeration. The 600+ pages overflow with unrelenting drama, vividly painted larger-than-life characters, exotic vistas, bustling courtrooms, etc. This is more a story about the people who struggled to realize a dream than it is about the little canal which captured their imaginations for centuries.

This book moved me to tears." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Alternative Vacation in Panama. It would be so usefull when you Exchange a Alternative Vacation Cottage in Panama.

"Every thinking American should read this book, then go see the Canal in operation if possible. Having lived in Panama and visited there many times, I can attest the Panama Canal is much more than just "a ditch", as this book so ably points out. It was, and is, THE engineering feat of the century (it has lasted, in continuous operation, for almost a hundred years. Can a Saturn V rocket make such a boast?)!" If you are thinking about exchanging a Vacation Casas in Panama, I would buy this book to take with you while in Panama.
