Flying on the wing of the North American edition's success, Window Seat: Europe decodes the sights to be seen on any flight across Europe. Broken down by region, this unusual guide features over 60 aerial photographs; a fold-out map of Europe showing major flight paths; profiles of each region covering landforms, waterways, and cities; tips on spotting major sights, such as the Eiffel Tower, Venice canals, and Loch Ness; tips on spotting not so major sites such as mines, power plants, and railroads; and straightforward friendly text on cloud shapes, weather patterns, the continent's history, and moreall in a lightweight pack-able paperback. Terrific for kids, frequent flyers, and armchair travelers alike, Window Seat: Europe is loaded with curious facts and colorful illustration. "Read" the landscape from above and a whole world unfolds at your feet.
