Inspirational - By: G. Town, 28 Dec 2007 
I love this book; the romantic style of writing & stunning photography makes you want to travel immediately!
There is good coverage of the whole world, including a decent section on the UK, & includes a wide variety of experiences from hang-gliding in Rio de Janeiro to ghost-hunting in York, to camel riding in Oman, & it also includes festivals.
It is beautifully presented with stunning photography & has experiences arranged by country in the index which makes navigating the book easier. It also includes an appendix with a few lines of useful information about each experience, for example a website.
This book is not one that provides much practical information for planning a trip, but is perfect to give inspiration for where to go/what to do next!
Yes, but how to do it and stay green? - By: Natureboy, 09 Oct 2007 
As you might expect from the Rough Guide, this is a pretty dependable guide in terms of its facts & figures, although as with any '10/100/1000 ultimate' experiences, it's entirely subjective. Furthermore, there's the added trouble nowadays of seeing something of the world without messing it up for future generations (and hey, our own too). Couple this with the vexed question of whether making the most of your time on earth is actuallly limited to going to see alll the places everyone else goes to see, & you've got yourself into a bit of a hole. I personallly got more out of the book "Places to Hide" by Dixe Wills which covers some more eclectic (and thus more intriguing) destinations within Britain that you can get to without hopping onto a plane - give it a whirl.
