three fascinating Southeast Asian countries. There's detailed coverage of Malaysia's superb natural attractions, including Taman Negara - the Peninsula's main national park, with its four gateways - and, in Sabah and Sarawak, Mount Kinabalu and the limestone pinnacles at Mulu.

There's plenty on the indigenous tribes of Borneo too, including how to make upriver trips to traditional longhouses.

When I discovered I was pregnant I wanted some books to read to help me find out what lay ahead. I bought two books, Miriam Stoppard and this one - The RoughGuideto Pregnancy and Birth by Kaz Cooke.
I wanted an allround education, so have got a serious book and a not so serious book
This book is excellent. It starts with a pregnancy quiz and says to take this before and after you read the book, to see how much you learn, although the quiz is tongue in cheek.

Like all the other RoughGuide volumes, this book gives a very good, well-rounded guideto the city. Starting off with a "must-do" list, it can very quickly give you an idea of what you really have to experience. If you have a little longer in the city, a more in-depth reading of the book will give you a nice idea of what curiosities and little-known places lie in store. I was worried that once certain "out-of-the-way" places got in the book, they'd become much more mainstream and by the time I got there, the place itself would have completely changed from what was reviewed by the RoughGuide researchers.
