This guide is easy to read and to the point, yet it is packed with inside information and helpful hints. The author really knows what college is all about and gets you to think about creating a plan for success. He has a knack for pointing out all the trouble spots of college that most students don't realize until they are in trouble.

I highly recommend this book!

This book caught my eye at Pearl Harbor on my first significant visit to Hawaii a few weeks ago. Had to order it as soon as I got home. Outstanding digest of Cook's lifetime of exploration. Excellent format with its mixture of concise narrative and outstanding maps. Fascinating "read", I couldn't put it down. Excellent level of detail -- enough to be truly educational -- not so much as to overload. Emotionally moving to recall standing on Hawaiian soil and try to imagine the worlds meeting in the explorations of Cook's time. This book helped stitch my own experience to the history of the explorations.
