USA's Best National Parks in the Discover series from Lonely Planet; covering a range of countries worldwide and practically designed to allow travellers to find the most iconic sites and attractions at a glance. Uniquely designed, each title in the series includes a series of lists of the best things to do and see, with highlights, thematic ‘best’ sections and things you need to know in addition to suggested itineraries by boat, bike and on foot. Unlike the standard Lonely Planet guides, extensive information and detailed editorial content is shorter, with an emphasis on accessibility and practicality through a simplified listings format.

Additionally, colour-coded sections allow readers to access the information they need about a region or city quickly and identify the main highlights of the area. Written and researched by a team of experts, each book is independent in its recommendations and suggestions, often offering individual takes on each destination.

Introductory sections profile the destination, with an overview of the country, 25 recommended experiences, suggested itineraries and a planning your trip chapter with brief information on natural wonders, day trips, shopping opportunities, accommodation, costs, getting around, what to bring and when to go, books, film and music and a calendar of events. Regional chapters begin with a basic overview map of the region, local highlights, thematic ‘best’ things to see, do and experience, things you need to know and suggested itineraries. The main highlights - sights, restaurants, shopping, accommodation, tourist information and transport - are presented in outline list form, including only essential information rather than extensive editorial content.

An extensive Directory and Transport section gives useful practical guidance on accommodation, climate charts, courses, customs, dangers and annoyances, embassies and consulates, festivals and events, gay and lesbian travellers, health, holidays, insurance, internet access, legal matters, local government, maps, money, telephones, time, tourist information, travellers with disabilities, women with travellers, getting there and way and getting around.
