5.0 out of 5 stars Book on Panama Canal
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2014
Verified Purchase
Good book but lacks the full history on the Canal. "Path Between the Seas", is most useful to anyone who really wants to know about the canal, the politics, illness, money etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview; Great Pictures.
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2006
Verified Purchase
Friar does an excellent job of giving the reader an overview of all of the major events that lead to the canal's existence. If you are interested in learning the details of the canal's construction story, then I would recommend David McCullough's epic work, "The Path Between the Seas." But, for an overview, this book is a good resource.

The pictures included in the book are very good and add a good visual complement to the text.

1.0 out of 5 stars Is this book not intended for e-readers?
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2017
My one star rating needs explanation: My boyfriend bought this for his Kindle, and I share his books on my Kindle. Friar's canal book, however, has picture-text layouts that do not seem formatted for orientation and font adjustments, so we cannot read--nor can we adjust--the print that accompanies the wide, landscape mode on our e-readers. I think perhaps Amazon made a mistake offering this particular book for Kindles. I have tried resetting the Orientation to portrait, but that has not worked. Love the subject, just can't figure out how to make this work.

3.0 out of 5 stars too much like a cheap tourist book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2014

Could have had more real information. too much like a cheap tourist book. A bit all over the place but maybe they were trying to give a general picture and failed.
