GiftSleuth

GiftSleuth is a forum where book lovers can help each other find perfect gifts for everyone on their lists. It's easy to use:

1. Post your gift dilemma. (You will need a nickname.) For example:

  • "I am searching for the perfect book for my mother. She was born in 1940 and loves cooking, crafts, and home decorating"
  • "I need to find a gift for a co-worker; I've seen him reading Orwell and Asimov in the lunch room so he must like Sci-Fi!"

    • The more information you can provide about the receiver, the better suggestions you will get.

    *TIP: Be sure to make your topic heading descriptive: include the receiver, your budget, and any other relevant details. (E.g. "Need gift for Mother, enjoys cooking, budget ~ $100.")

    2. Come back often to see the suggestions! (You can also "Subscribe" to a topic - view the FAQ section (at right) to learn more.)

    Finished your shopping? Visit often to give suggestions to others searching for the perfect gift.

    A friend with an interest in schools and education is looking at travelling in Nepal. Does anyone know of good books covering this subject, but mainly general info on travel in this country including history, customs etc?

    In the Circle of the Dance : Notes of an Outsider in Nepal by Katharine Bjork Guneratne

    That's a really good one to check out as far as customs in the region go also try

    Customs and Etiquette of Nepal by Sunil Kumar Jha, Irene Sanderson

    For history I would try this one, it's easy accurate and not too long:

    History of Nepal by John Whelpton

    And as for education these might be of interest:

    Schooled For The Future Educational Policy And Everyday Life Among Urban Squatters In Nepal by Karen Valentin

    Gender Trouble Makers : Education and Empowerment in Nepal by Jennifer Rothchild

    Daughters of the Tharu (Reference Books in International Education) : Gender, Ethnicity, Religion, and the Education of Nepali Girls by * Maslak, Edward R. Beauchamp (Editor)

     

     

    Hope that helps you out! Good luck!
