This is the only guide, in any language, devoted solely to Sierra Leone. Armed conflict ended here in 2002; while still poor, the country is safe and offers tremendous opportunities for English-speaking travellers. This guide gives details and maps of its miles of palm-fringed beaches that are among the best in West Africa. It covers deep-sea fishing and wreck diving, snorkelling, canoeing and white-water rafting. It tells travellers how to island hop between Plantain Island, Banana Islands and Turtle Islands, and provides maps of hiking trails into the Nimini Hills, Bora Mountains and Gola Fo

It has taken four years, but with Head First Java the introductory Java book category has finally come of age. This is an excellent book, far more capable than any of the scores of Java-for-novices books that have come before it. Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates deserve rich kudos--and big sales--for developing this book’s new way of teaching the Java programming language, because any reader with even a little bit of discipline will come away with true understanding of how the language works. Perhaps best of all, this is no protracted "Hello, World" introductory guide. Readers get substantial

"My First Summer in the Sierra," a classic written by John Muir, relates his experiences as part of a crew of shepherds enlisted to drive a flock of 2500 sheep to Yosemite National Park at the headwaters of the Merced River. Muir’s account, which covered an experience that took place in 1869 but wasn’t published until 1911, inspired many to visit the Yosemite region and also became a classic of environmentalist literature. Easier to read than Henry David Thoreau’s "Walden," "My First Summer in the Sierra" offers a humble, gentle, yet optimistic criticism of the path much of
