Review & Description

Habana Libre is a stunning contemporary exploration of the privileged class in a classless society: a secret life within Cuba. Michael Dweck's photographs are exhilarating, sensual and provocative, with a sexy and hypnotic visual rhythm. This is a face of Cuba never before photographed, never reported in Western media and never acknowledged openly within Cuba itself. It is a socially connected world of glamorous models and keenly observant artists, filmmakers, musicians and writers captured in an elaborate dance of survival and success. Here too are surprising interviews with sons of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara as well as many others who define the creative culture of Cuba and give it texture and substance. Habana Libre is not a media-fabricated Cuban postcard of crumbling mansions or old American cars, but a revealing and contemporary work by a visual artist adept at capturing the quiet gesture, the sensuous eye and the proud and provocative pose of that most romantic of contradictions: Cuba.
The photographs of Michael Dweck (born 1957) were first exhibited at Sotheby's, New York, in 2003, in the auction house's first solo exhibition for a living photographer. Dweck's first major photographic work, The End: Montauk, N.Y., published in 2004, blended documentary and staged photography to produce a compelling portrait of a beach community that exists as much in the realm of memory and desire as in the real world. His acclaimed 2008 volume Mermaids explored the female nude refracted in water. Dweck's work has become part of important international art collections and has been shown in major solo gallery exhibitions around the world. (20110728) Read more

Review & Description

Children are perhaps Walt Disney World’s biggest fans. On playgrounds and in classrooms, there’s always excited talk about who went to Walt Disney World and what they did each day—or minute. It has become almost a rite of passage to visit America’s most popular travel destination, and kids can be wonderful sources of information.
Every area and attraction of Walt Disney World is covered, with kids’ honest reactions and impressions included. There is a whole chapter devoted to each of the theme parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Another chapter describes the rest of Walt Disney World, including Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Fort Wilderness, Downtown Disney, and dining spots with kid appeal.

The book is updated annually, and the 2012 edition features new insights and tips from young Birnbaum readers—our esteemed junior Disney Experts. The book contains kid-focused descriptions of what's what at Walt Disney World, including theme parks, water parks, resorts, and sports; tips on how to find healthy meals and sweet treats—not to mention veggie burgers, caramel apples, and pizza. The younger set will also love "Magical Memories"—a scrapbook chapter devoted to preserving Disney memories that includes special pages meant for Disney characters to autograph. Now kids can help plan the family vacation! Read more

Review & Description

Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World Dining Guide is a complete diner’s guide to what’s where in the World. What do they serve? How good is it? How much will it cost? It’s all here. Our personally rated taste-tested temptations include: who serves the best PB&J, where to sup with Snow White, and why turkey legs are the most popular snack food in the World.

Our updated 2012 edition includes tips on how to stretch the tightest budget and get the most out of the Disney Dining Plan--and updates on eateries currently participating in the Disney Dining Plan. Readers will also find detailed descriptions of the newest eateries and lounges at Walt Disney World, including Via Napoli at Epcot's World Showcase. We'll also give guests a sneak peak at new dining experiences such as the character-hosted meals at the soon-to-be-completed Beast's Castle in the Magic Kingdom.Indispensible advice will help guests snag hard-to-get reservations and book those tables far in advance. This year's guide also features revised indexes to help guests select dining destinations that best suit their needs (and budgets). Read more
