Book Reviews of The Complete Guide to Easter Island
Book Review: An absolute MUST for Easter Island visitors!!
Summary: 5 Stars
What an awesome book! We studied the book carefully before our visit to Easter Island 3 weeks ago. Then we took it with us everywhere on the Island and used it constantly for the 6 days we were there. It was our Easter Island bible. It is packed full of helpful hints, historical background and all the information you could ever want to know about the ahus, moai and caves on the Island. Plus, the maps, drawings, etc. at the back of the book were SO helpful. You don't need any other book to visit Easter Island. And thanks to the author's recommendation, we ate at the wonderful restaurant Au Bout du Monde on our last night on the Island and loved it! Thank you Shawn McLaughlin for enriching our Easter Island experience so much!!
Summary of The Complete Guide to Easter Island
A revised edition of The Complete Guide to Easter Island has been released by the Easter Island Foundation. Like its predecessor, which underwent three printings and has sold more copies than any other EIF publication, this expanded version brings together the latest scientific and tourist information in a format designed to appeal to both researchers and lay readers alike: Sections on history, legends, conservation, island theories, antiquities, and culture complement detailed coverage of the village of Hanga Roa, accommodations, shopping, vehicle rental, entertainment, island sights, and more. The Guide also includes a chapter on the Rapanui language, an extensive glossary, a detailed chronology, a comprehensive bibliography, and updated island maps. With 70 additional pages, this revised Guide includes new sections, such as discussions on the role of the sweet potato in Oceania, dating systems used by scientists, and listings of Easter Island artefacts found in museums around the world. Richly illustrated and featuring black & white and color photographs by the author. Whether you've been on the island, are planning your first trip, or returning to this most enigmatic place, The Complete Guide is your indispensable Easter Island resource.Australia & South Pacific Books
