The Cheapskate's Guide to Paris: Hotels, Restaurants, Shopping, Sightseeing...and More by Connie Emerson, ISBN 0806522151
When Connie Emerson's low-budget guide to Paris was first published, it quickly sold out. This newly revised edition, based on recent visits to the French capital proves that the term Paris bargain is not an oxymoron.
Though the City of Light has a deserved reputation for being one of the world's most expensive destinations, it can be a cost-cutter's delight. Hotel rooms go for far less than established rack prices to people who take advantage of special promotions. This also applies to airline reservations, car rentals, or even restaurants. Charming and reasonably priced bistros dot every corner of this remarkable city. Readers will find sound advice on shopping, places of interest, senior citizen discounts, and places to entertain children (many free). Also included is a guide to the best and most effective routes for the Metro or the bus.
This invaluable resource shows thrifty travelers how to get the best value for their francs.
The Water Business: Corporations Versus People
The worldwide privatization of public sector services has expanded market opportunities for transnational corporations enormously. Ann-Christian Holland visits countries as far apart as Britain and Argentina, Ghana and South Africa, to find the effect of privatization on that most basic of human needs, fresh water. She finds that two companies, Suez and Veolia, rapidly came to dominate nearly 80% of the privatized water market. As prices for water soared, massive public protests erupted in country after country. Holland interviewed senior corporate executives to get their responses, and sets out the arguments on both sides to present some of the innovative ideas and experiments for providing water as an essential service for all citizens.
