Completely
updated,
best cruising guide
available for Belize |
True live Belize
account by Nancy Koerner, founder of
Mountain Equestrian Trails |
|
Comical (and purportedly true) account
of Conroy's life as a vice-consul in Colonial British Honduras. |
Definitely the best Belize map |
Best
birding book |
The
author, Lan Sluder, specializes in Belize, so this one is pretty
accurate, although you'll still need to update using the Web. |
Absolutely
essential if you've ever thought (or even might think) about moving to Belize. |
The classic book on the
founding of Cockscomb Basin Jaguar Reserve. |
Good
guide to San Pedro, with a short section on Caye Caulker. Also
by Lan Sluder. Getting a little dated, but basic info is still
good. |
OK,
this one is not about Belize, but about its northern neighbor, Mexico.
Absolutely hysterical. (Beware, this is not your father's
guidebook.) |
Pretty
good info about modern Belize history and culture. Goes a little
easy on some institutions such as BTL. But overall, worth
reading. |
Rosita
Arvigo's classic book about learning Mayan healing from Don Panti. |
Beautifully illustrated coffee table book (it's on mine). |
Based
on the work of Mayan researchers, cartographers, artists,
storytellers and photographers. |
Excellent book about the influences that have shaped Belize for the
last 30+ years.
Primarily an academic text, but with great
snippets of non-academic information on Belize politics, families,
businesses, and local lore.
|
A
survey of the trees and plants of the Placencia Peninsula by Lisa
Carne, a Placencia Peninsula resident and biologist. |
A
good read for the beach, and it
does offer some accurate insights into Belize culture, politics and history. |
