To some, Los Angeles<\/strong> may be a dystopia of urban sprawl, strip malls, and traffic congestion. Not so for Barbara Guggenheim<\/strong>, the widow of famed Hollywood lawyer Bert Fields<\/strong>. \u201cQuite simply, LA is the most dynamic, vibrant city on the planet,\u201d she writes in this engaging travel guide that takes readers on an unabashedly reverential tour of attractions ranging from the famous to the more obscure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to resist a guide in which the author recalls bicycling with television news legend Barbara Walters<\/strong> and running into the Dalai Lama<\/strong> pedaling from the other direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
