Culture Shock!: A Globe-Trotter's Guide
by Frederick Fisher, 1995, Graphic Arts Center Pub.

Eileen and Frederick Fisher have traveled for sixty months in twenty-five years-through America, Asia, Australia and Europe. The are amateurs in two senses - they love it, and they budget for it. They are professionals, since they have taught themselves how to do it well. Fred tells you in lively language of many ways to get the most fun, comfort and satisfaction with the least worry, hassle and cost. He writes for those who are escaping from the routine two-week package tours, into adventure-by land, sea or air, in their own style and at their own pace. His advice covers planning, paying, flying, cruising, negotiating, eating, shopping and keeping fit. This book is full of shrewd tips.

Indonesia (Countries of the World)

by Mark Cramer, Frederick Fisher, 2000, Gareth Stevens Pub.

"Grade 4-8 - These books give detailed explanations of the countries' geography, history, government, economy, religion, cultural aspects, and major sites of interest. Chock-full of valuable information, they are accompanied by lively, bright, and glossy photographs. Both reveal the mixture of traditional and contemporary life that permeates these societies. An "at a glance" page gives fast facts about the country. The glossary is especially useful as it has an explanation of unfamiliar English words, as well as those in the particular country's language. However, a pronunciation guide for the word "Myanmar" is never given. Also, in Indonesia, names such as Megawati Sukarnoputri lack pronunciation guidance. Despite this inconsistency, readers will be rewarded with a sense of the past experiences that these countries endured and an up-to-date perspective of their current situations."
