STAR TREK NATION : An Englishman’s view of America (Science and Society) by Lyndon Smith (Sedgemoor Books) (64 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Reviews: A Visual and Conversational Journey: Star Trek Nation 5.0 out of 5 stars "From the moment I began reading "Star Trek Nation: An Englishman's View of America," I knew I was in for a treat. As a visual learner, the plethora of graphics, illustrations, and photographs included in the book was not just a delightful surprise but a significant enhancement to my reading experience. The fact that Lyndon Smith, the author himself, crafted these visuals added an incredibly personal and authentic touch that resonated deeply with me. Diving into the book felt like embarking on an exploratory mission alongside Smith, as he navigates the complex yet fascinating landscape of American culture through the unique lens of the original Star Trek series. His witty and insightful observations on history, literature, social issues, and popular culture are not just entertaining but thought-provoking, offering a fresh perspective on the impactful relationship between science fiction and technological advancement. Smith's writing style is fluid and engaging, making it feel as though you're having a profound conversation with a dear friend. His humor, combined with a keen sense of observation, brings to life the similarities and differences between Anglo-American cultures in a manner that's both humorous and enlightening. What truly sets this book apart, however, is Smith's ability to intertwine his personal experiences and affections for America with rigorous detail and a genuine appreciation for the nuances of its culture. His anecdotes, from crossing the US on interstate roads to his encounters with iconic facets of American life like McDonald's and Las Vegas, are not just stories but a bridge connecting readers to the heart of American culture. For fans of Star Trek, this book is a must-read, but I would argue it extends far beyond just the fans of the franchise. "Star Trek Nation" is a compelling exploration of cultural dynamics, technology's influence on society, and the ...

See Turkey For Less: Sightseeing, Dining, Shopping In Turkey On A Budget by Daisy O. Harrison (1 Review)    Price verified 57 minutes ago

Most travel books frustrate me. Many are written on major city destinations like London, Paris and Rome. Don't you wish there were more travel guides on off-the-beaten-path destinations that are more historical, less crowded, less expensive and more gratifying for sightseeing and for an authentic experience? Don't you wish these destinations were available outside of expensive "expeditions" and "specialty cruises?" My book series will make these rich attractions affordable to you by proviidng you with tips on when to go, where to go and what preparations to do to obtain the best prices on airfares, acccommodations, dining and shopping in any given tourist attraction in the world. I will share my experience and knowledge from traveling the world in the last 50 years to choose exotic destinations: • with favorable currency exchange rates to yours (usually in U.S. dollars) ; • their off-season periods of the year to benefit from wide-ranging discounts; • customs, practises and common phrases used in their language that may help prepare you in your interactions with them and improve your authentic experience. The first book of the series is on Turkey. It will educate you with essential preparations, provide cheat sheets of popular phrases to help you ask directions as well as to bargain for discounts. My research identified local hotels and tour companies that are not part of international chains. They are money-saving options for you. If you enjoyed this first book, then let me know by emailing me at dvarealtors1987@gmail.com. I can learn a lot from you for my next book. You can also send me your email so I can update you with what country I found that fits our bill, and I'm writing on it for your next adventure.
