Great Resource for Education & Travel!

What an outstanding resource! I am a college professor who takes groups of students to Poland in the summer. I have done this for the past 3 years. I always want them to know enough about the history and culture of Poland so they understand the country while we are there. I have chosen this book as the "textbook" for this summer's "Summer Study Abroad." I am also very happy that there is a new 2000 edition since Poland (and all of eastern Europe) changes almost daily since the fall of the Iron Curtain.

I know that some other professors would say "Oh - it's not scholarly enough." True - but I would rather have them know what Insight provides about the culture than to assign a text that is so esoteric that they won't read anything about it. Insight Poland provides me with just such a book - they read it and like it!

The narratives about the country are great, the pictures of the culture are wonderful, and the travel information is enough so anyone could get around Poland effectively.

Most of all, I know that the students will read it. Why? Because it catches their attention and keeps them involved in the descriptions - whether it's history or architecture or music or art or food! Not all textbooks we assign meet with such success, that's for sure!

I also have provided this book to some of my colleagues who will be traveling there this Spring. In doing so, they also mentioned how much they have liked every Insight Guide they have used - which is three or four - and were very happy to know that there is one for Poland.

Buy it - you'll like it!

do not use for a travel guide

This book is awesome for education. But horrible if you are relaying on it when traveling in Poland.
I usually buy the "DK Eyewitness Travel guide" books but could not find one for Poland so I got this one.. and was very dissapointed in it. Compared to the "DK eyewitness travel guides".. it stinks.
