The essence of London, found "in the swing, tramp, and trudge; in the bellow and uproar; the carriages, motor cars, omnibuses, vans, sandwich men shuffling and swinging; brass bands; barrel organs; in the triumph and the jingle and the strange high singing of some aeroplane overhead..." (Mrs. Dalloway), is ably conveyed in the visual burst of Dorling Kindersley's London guide. This compact book is filled to overflowing with a montage of timelines, street maps, 3-D aerial views, district maps, cutaways of important buildings--including Buckingham Palace and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre--and more than 1,200 full-color photographs. Like all of DK's books, this reference is overwhelming when you first crack open the pages. There's so much information, you almost don't know where to start.

Brazil, with 150 million people in an area roughly the size of the USA, is more a continent than a country. Few countries have greater variety to offer the traveller: the metropolis of Sao Paulo, a South American New York, Rio, the rolling "pampas" of the south, the rivers and forests of Amazonia and the tropical coastline and harsh interior of the northeast. This guide is more than just a list of what to see and where to stay, it also sets into contemporary context this array of physical, historical, cultural and popular diversity. From river travel on the Amazon, to how to get the most out of "Carnaval", from colonial churches to Brazilian music, this guide informs, advises and celebrates Brazil.

Mexico is a heady sort of place; it inundates you with sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and tactile sensations. A dry text, no matter how informative, just doesn't do justice to Mexico's allure. DK's Eyewitness Travel Guide series, on the other hand, does. Sure, it provides the necessary data points.

And there are pages of practical information on visas, health precautions, time zones, electricity, taxis, security, banking, communications, and the like.

Too bad the essence of Rome can't be bottled and exported to a corner store near you. If it could, you could pick up a weekend's worth of Rome along with your pint of milk and Snickers bar, and you'd probably never get to repainting the stairs, doing the laundry, or watching that new video release. Instead you'd be gawking at St. Peter's, ogling the Temple of Vesta, devouring saltimbocca in a trattoria, and sipping Sangiovese at a wine bar. You might not even get to the Snickers bar. Okay, DK never said they're trying to bottle Rome. But they do a stand-up job of imbuing their guidebook with the spirit, attitude, and élan of Rome
