Product Info Reviews

Description:

From glamour and glitz to the La Brea tar pits, The Rough Guide Los Angeles takes readers on an informed and well-balanced tour of L.A.'s many personalities. Maps and lists of travel basics help clarify the tangle of freeways and present the diverse cityscape, neighborhood by neighborhood, for easy exploration. Brief cultural and historical essays place contemporary sights in context, introduce famous residents, and take on L.A.'s recent past of riots, gangs, mass-transit problems, and racial tensions. Sections on the rise of Hollywood, on books and films in L.A., and glossaries prove valuable inclusions. Thorough, honest accounts coupled with critical savvy give this guide a smart, streetwise flair. --Byron Ricks
