Every time Bill Bryson walks out the door, memorable travel literature threatens to break out.

His previous excursion along the Appalachian Trail resulted in the sublime national bestseller A Walk in the Woods. In A Sunburned Country is his report on what he found in an entirely different place: Australia, the country that doubles as a continent, and a place with the friendliest inhabitants, the hottest, driest weather, and the most peculiar and lethal wildlife to be found on the planet. The result is a deliciously funny, fact-filled, and adventurous performance by a writer who combines humor, wonder, and unflagging curiousity.

Despite the fact that Australia harbors more things that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere else, including sharks, crocodiles, snakes, even riptides and deserts, Bill Bryson adores the place, and he takes his readers on a rollicking ride far beyond that beaten tourist path. Wherever he goes he finds Australians who are cheerful, extroverted, and unfailingly obliging, and these beaming products of land with clean, safe cities, cold beer, and constant sunshine fill the pages of this wonderful book.

Australia is an immense and fortunate land, and it has found in Bill Bryson its perfect guide.

Missing answers to even number questions
Format: Hardcover
Great info but there are no answers for the even number questions. Only for the odd numbers. I would like to all answers to questions.

The Only Resource You'll Need to Pass the RHIA
Format: Hardcover
What did I like? This textbook is fully comprehensive of all that you'll need in order to take and pass the RHIA examination. I lost my credentials when I didn't renew my professional dues and needed to take it again after 26 years. Granted I have experience in the field, but this book covered it all. What did I use this for? I used this text to prepare for my RHIA exam administered by AHIMA.

Exactly what my sink needed!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Okay, this thing turned out to be way more useful than I expected. It’s big enough to actually hold everything — sponge, scrub brush, even the soap dispenser — without looking cluttered or crammed together. Plus everything dries faster, so my sink area finally doesn’t look like a wet chaotic mess all the time. 😅 The quality is really solid too. Feels sturdy, doesn’t rust, and was super easy to install. It stays put and keeps water from collecting around the sink, which honestly makes cleanup so much easier. Such a simple little product, but it really does make the kitchen look cleaner and more organized. Definitely recommend.
