提到旅行,LP对全球的背包客来说,无人不知、无人不晓。孤独星球出版社(Lonely
Planet Publications,缩写LP)被认为是世界最大的私人旅游指南出版社。其出版的Not
for Parents系列图书,是该出版社首次为儿童出版有关世界各地风土人情的读本,分为“国家系列”和“城市系列”。
这些读本每一个对开页讲述某个城市或国家某一方面的文化,包括名胜介绍、历史知识、现代建筑、地域文化等方方面面的内容。为了让读者能够拓展阅读,在页脚还有相应的网址供资讯查询。
全书的主旨正如LP的创始人惠勒夫妇讲述的那样:旅行指南并不是旅行必备品,真正要携带的是旅行的心境:怀着谦卑,不带成见,敏锐地感受隐藏在风景后的历史。

內容簡介: |
Lonely Planet: The world''s leading travel guide
publisher*
This is not a guidebook. And it''s definitely ''not-for-parents''.
It is the real inside story about one of the world''s most famous
cities - New York. In this book you''ll hear fascinating
tales about towering skyscrapers and deep subways, a naked cowboy,
and the Yankees loudest fans.
Check out cool stories about hot dogs and snapping alligators,
bulls in the stock exchange and sports on the street. You''ll find
superheroes, famous battles, cops, cooks, and millions of rats.
Which lady moved to New York from Paris in 350 pieces?
Did Martians really invade New York in 1938?
Which skyscraper was meant to double as an airship dock?
Would you like to spend a night inside an elephant?
This book shows you a New York your parents probably don''t even
know about.
Authors: Written and researched by Lonely Planet, Klay
