MOCK, Kirk -
Bradt Guide: Guyana, uitg.: Bradt Travel Pbns. (3e ed. aug.2018),
ISBN 9781841629292, paperback, 256 blz., bevat 23 kaartjes, €23,20
This new third edition of Bradt's Guyana remains the only guidebook available to this South American gem, a jungle-clad country teeming with exotic wildlife. Thoroughly researched, easy to use and interesting to read, Bradt’s Guyana is written and updated by writers who have lived in and promoted Guyana for many years and is an ideal companion for all travellers, from wildlife watchers to fishermen, anthropologists to conservationists and ‘voluntourists’.
Guyana is a destination on the rise, described – justifiably – by the tourist board as ‘South America Undiscovered’. This new edition of Bradt’s Guyana has been updated to include all the latest developments, ranging from how to see harpy eagles at Warapoka to new culinary experiences, local tour operators, 4×4 self-drive and new hotels.
This third edition of Bradt’s Guyana is the key book to plan an expedition into its densely forested lush interior, often accessible only by boat or small aircraft, before taking some ‘time to lime’ in a hammock in one of its tropical waterfront resorts.

What's Cooking in Guyana (2e ed. 2004), uitg.: MacMillan Carribbean,
ISBN 9781405013130, paperback, 368 blz., kleurenfoto's, €24,60
This second edition, with a new four-colour format, has been completely revised and updated. There are new recipe sections featuring well-known Indian and Amerindian dishes, and a background to food preparation is also included at the beginning of the book to provide a useful guide to some basic facts about the ingredients that are being used. Accompanied by new colour photographs, this new edition will do much to stimulate interest in, and use of, local Guyanese foods and culinary products that home-makers, amateur cooks and chefs will take a delight in preparing and presenting and, in doing so, develop a culinary skill that is unique to Guyana.
