Synopsis
Travelers differ.At one extreme are random travelers who see what they accidentally bump into.At the other extreme are the lock-step travelers who follow a banner (or a red umbrella) and look when and where a voice tells them to look. Between these extremes are the guide-book travelers who identify the whereabouts of those sites that interest them and they plan their sightseeing accordingly. If a traveler's interests are captivated by the arts, guide books can be very helpful. For example, the table of contents of a current guide book for travelers going to G- many has sections on architecture, art, literature, music and cinema.The index gives page references for famous writers, musicians, and artists.Yet, while Germany was a dominate force in physical science during the 19th and into the 20th centuries and while the names and photos of prominent German physical scientists who worked in this period are sprinkled through the pages of textbooks, only one scientist is m- tioned by name:Albert Einstein is identified as the most famous citizen of Ulm., Travelers differ.At one extreme are random travelers who see what they accidentally bump into.At the other extreme are the lock-step travelers who follow a banner (or a red umbrella) and look when and where a voice tells them to look.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (3,580)
- e***a (272)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller dispatched in approx 24hr. Book as described & all arrived fine as it was perfectly packaged for an international trip from the US to me in the UK. Padded envelope with thick cardboard spacer to keep the paperback straight and the book was snuggly wrapped in a plastic sheet to keep corners tight & unbumped. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and I wish all sellers shipped books like this. It makes me so happy when sellers pay attention to details - nothing excessive, just perfect. Book even smelt nice :)
- 7***3 (86)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseA very trustworthy and communicative seller! The price of the books he sold me was so incredible, that I couldn't believe it until I received them. Books arrived in amazing condition (better than the photos conveyed) and the price and speed of shipping was the best I think I've had on eBay -- books arrived over 20 days before they were supposed to! Will buy from this seller again if I see an item I would like.6 VOLUME SET OF DAVE SIM & GERHARD BOOKS 6, 7, 8, 13 14, 15 GRAPHIC NOVELS (#235896476642)
- 4***a (450)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe item was as described ("like new"), was dispatched with alacrity and received much earlier than expected. Packaging was exceptional, demonstrating a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. All of this for an item that was priced to be a significant value. This seller gets my highest recommendation.
