  The first English guide to this fascinating country, formerly part of the Soviet Union. This book helps the traveler with the practical details of visiting Azerbaijan while also discussing its history and geography. It has been little traveled in the past due to lack of information beyond the metropolitan capital of Baku. The guide fills those information gaps with practical advice for travelers, as well as facts regarding visas, lodging, eating and more.The guide uses author Mark Elliott's hand drawn, detailed maps of the surroundings with pointed comments on each. The entire country is covered, with its desert moonscapes, tropical forests, volcanoes and snow-capped mountains and its history steeped in myth and magic. Azerbaijan's equally neglected neighbor, Georgia, is outlined in this guide as well.
