Vietnam Handbook.  Footprint.  4th edition.   464 pages.  Size 4¾”x8¼”.  Includes 32 color photos, 90 photos in black and white, and 46 maps.  In modern-day Vietnam one thing in particular stands out. It is, quite simply, the remarkable speed at which the country is developing. Vietnam now hovers in an enigmatic and paradoxical time zone somewhere between the late Industrial Revolution and the Post Industrial Age. High school children in Saigon vie for the trendiest motorbikes while children in the northern highlands are happy with a pair of sandals. Youngsters in the Mekong Delta have email accounts whereas five years ago they didn't have a telephone.
   And staff in call centers take bets from around the world on English football while their parents harvest rice by hand. Vietnam has experienced war and bloody revolution in the past 100 years. But the revolution it is now going through is peaceful and prosperous and is what makes contemporary Vietnam the absorbing and gripping place that it is.

Vietnam and Angkor Wat Eyewitness Travel Guide.  Dorling Kindersley Publications.  288 pages.


Vietnam opened its doors to tourists in the late 80s and, while at first a destination frequented by backpackers and war veterans, its appeal has grown ever since.

   Part of the award-winning Eyewitness series, this sumptuously illustrated guide leads readers to it all, from the floating markets of the Mekong Delta in the south to the hill towns inhabited by the Hmong minority in the north, and the best beaches to be found in between.
