Description London; 1988; and the winds of change are blowing through the city; kicking up a storm. A gal pregnant and a DJ running for cover. The birth of the e generation and a race riot erupting. The Sheriff is trying to talk to Prince and Sammy the Foot is dancing up a treat. Everything was Tuesday until she quit without an explanation whilst a young Italian is looking to score and a mother is fighting off the fascists. Someone just dropped one and said its as if we were in heaven whilst outside the club a seven-month-old baby is crying hard. Heavens Promise stands; still underrated; in the intersection of great modern London novels; between Absolute Beginners and Trainspotting - a tradition of youthful struggle and creative ambition embodied in a City of Dreams; a vision as potent in the rave culture of the late eighties as it was in the fifties - and as it is today. Praise for Heavens Promise A soulful ride through the London of those heady days; a love letter to the city as much as a scenehellip; indispensible; the Absolute Beginners of Acid House. Irvine Welsh Heavens Promises evocation of late 80s London; its music; its club scene; its racial tensions and cultural signposts place Hewitt firmly in the rich lineage of great "London Novel" writers. This is the view from the insidehellip; the authentic voice. Dig it. Dr. Robert

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. History/Tour GuideBy S. ClinardNice review of history of the sites; but many sites dont have as much help with the photography aspect. Advice was to photograph at sunrise; and to get forest service maps to pick a place to go in the area. Also to have patience and wait for the best light - which is of course is the most desirable; but I; for one; travel with a non-photographer husband who does not wish to spend much time in one place. As an ex-Montanan; I am familiar with most of these sites. Perhaps it would work well for a visitor who needs to decide in advance where they wish to go.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... to know where and when to go for the best shots.

One would need to spend months finding all those places and know when to be there.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. first book on Montana!By Yue Jason ChenI was looking forward to this book of a state I always want to visit. The editor of this book (and others in this series) should really borrow the idea from PhotoTripUSA - give a rating on the locations! That would be the single most helpful feature from a guide book. For any out-of-state visitor (like myself) with limited time (say 1-2 weeks); a most practical decision to make when planning a trip is; which locations to go? its not possible to see all the places at the best time in one trip; so one has to choose. Its hard to judge from the text which ones should be on the top list. The author may be very accomplished professional photographer; however the images selected for the book are less than inspiring - not those that would make me feel the urge to see and photo the place; which again doesnt help one to choose the place to go. But; even with these limitations; it IS first such book on Montana; it will help to some extent to plan a trip there.
