I particularly like the fact that the captions almost always give lens, shutter and aperture information. Also, while he suggests the kind of equipment he finds useful, Richard spends more time on how to get the best travel photos - getting to locations, dealing with people.
One thing I thought it was short of was specific information on what is taboo or frowned upon in various countries. With his experience, I was expecting to read this. Otherwise a very handy book.
If you buy one book on photography make it this one.
If you know what an aperture is and have a basic understanding of how that affects the light hitting the film/pixels in your camera then I really can't recommend this book highly enough as it is pitched at someone who gets the basics. This avoids patronising and tedious basic explanations that fill half of many guidebooks.
If you don't know the basics of apertures and shutter speeds then I would recommend finding out from the many excellent websites out there and buying this book anyway.
Basically - I rate this book extremely highly and thoroughly recommend buying yourself a copy!
