REVIEWS
“Henceforth, rather than having to construct collections of maps from miscellaneous sources, teachers of Latin American history may recommend to their students a low-priced atlas which offers a very useful visual guide to some basic aspects of the geography and history of Latin America from pre-conquest to modern times. The maps included cover a wide range, stretching from those of a basic topographical and climatic type to thematic economic maps showing such phenomena as differential rates of inflation during the 1960s and 1970s.”—Anthony McFarlane, Bulletin of Latin American Research
