Book on Cuba

Moon Handbooks: Cuba by Christopher P. Baker


"The thought of Cuba conjures images and associations with Castro politics and contraband cigars, but a visit reveals more: vibrant hummingbirds, corral-colored flamingos, a profusion of insect life, and miles of sugarcane. The Cuba Handbook tells the oft-neglected details of Cuba's history, from slave trading to the U.S. embargo. But like the sidebar on Cuban cigars, the information is merely an aside, for this is a practical book: you'll find out how to gain entrance, where to stay, and what to eat, plus the scoop on all of the beaches, Hemingway memorials, and Revolution museums you could desire. There's sailing and golf, bird watching and scuba diving, and Cuban baseball. There's ballet, cabarets, and the ubiquitous beat of salsa throbbing in the night air. A vivid, engaging Cuba, peopled by Cubans justly renowned for their warmth, awaits. (Review from Amazon.com)

Lonely Planet Cuba (Travel Guides) by David Stanley

Lonely Planet's website <http://www.lonelyplanet.com/dest/car/cub.htm> contains a wealth of articles and links for Cuba, including a Map. "Despite the best efforts of the power to its north, the sun still shines on Cuba. It's the Caribbean's largest and least commercialized island and one of the world's last bastions of communism. While all is not rosy in the garden of perpetual revolution (as the number of Cubans getting creative with inner tubes suggests), the island's political isolation has prevented it from being overrun by tourists and the locals are sincerely friendly to those that do venture in. Even blockade runners from the US get a warm welcome!" ..... many articles and links. (Lonely Planet's Destination Cuba)
