Reviews

'A splendid achievement, a triumph of condensation, well-written, edited and illustrated ... This book is an essential work of reference for anyone studying, living in or doing business with Latin America and the Caribbean. It is also compulsive reading, full of fascinating information about this rich but neglected continent.' John Hemming, Geographical Magazine 'Fifty-five maps, a glossary, more than 200 illustrations ... and an excellent index make the volume a pleasure to use. Highly recommended.' Library Journal on the first edition
