The Rough Guide Brazil 5th Ed (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Book Description
INTRODUCTION

Brazilians often say they live in a continent rather than a country, and that's an excusable exaggeration. The landmass is bigger than the United States if you exclude Alaska; the journey from Recife in the east to the western border with Peru is longer than that from London to Moscow, and the distance between the northern and southern borders is about the same as that between New York and Los Angeles. Brazil has no mountains to compare with its Andean neighbours, but in every other respect it has all the scenic - and cultural - variety you would expect from so vast a country.

Life in Chile: Personal Observations of an American Expatriate Academic (CD-ROM)

Excerpted from Life in Chile: Personal Observations of an American Expatriate Academic by John M. Cobin Ph.D. Copyright © 1999. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved
Given the trend in the USA away from what my wife, Joan, and I consider to be strong traditional family values, the derogation of the rule of law, the dissolution of private property rights, and the increasing tendencies toward more interventionism and regulation, we began to be disillusioned with the USA. For instance, the grating comments my wife received from those who scolded her for having "too many" children, the confiscatory taxation and intrusive regulation pressuring against us, and the manifest love of most Americans for what we considered to be political tyranny rather than liberty, impelled us to search abroad. Therefore, we began searching for a country which offered stronger family values and a free market vision, where we could live, work, worship, and raise our family in peace and prosperity. This effort culminated in our migration to Chile in March 1996, along with our five children (all under the age of eight).

Travels in a Thin Country : A Journey Through Chile (Modern Library (Paperback)) (Paperback)

Book Description
Squeezed between a vast ocean and the longest mountain range on earth, Chile is 2,600 miles long and never more than 110 miles wide--not a country that lends itself to maps, as Sara Wheeler discovered when she traveled alone from the top to the bottom, from the driest desert in the world to the sepulchral wastes of Antarctica. Eloquent, astute, nimble with history and deftly amusing, Travels in a Thin Country established Sara Wheeler as one of the very best travel writers in the world.

From the spectacular beaches and rich history of the Dominican Republic to the vibrant art and Vodou rituals of Haiti, Hispaniola captivates every intrepid traveler.

The Rough Guide to The Dominican Republic (Paperback)

Book Description
INRODUCTION

Occupying the eastern half of the island of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic (or the DR, as it's often known) is the most popular tourist destination in the Caribbean, somewhat of a surprise given its relative poverty and former instability, not to mention the allure of nearby islands that perhaps are more wholly given over to holiday-makers. What traditionally attracts most visitors are the parts of the country that resemble the image of a Caribbean playland, the crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches lined with palm trees, of which the DR has plenty. This vision of leisurely days spent by the sea and romantic nights filled with merengue and dark rum is supported by the largest all-inclusive resort industry in the world; if you're looking to pay a set rate for airfare, hotel, food and drinks - and have a carefree Caribbean vacation behind the protection of a fenced-off compound - you can't do much better than here.

The Rough Guide to Guatemala 2 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Book Description
INTRODUCTION

Spanning the narrow Central American isthmus, Guatemala is a physical and cultural microcosm of Latin America, incorporating an astonishing array of contradictions in a country roughly the size of Ireland. Uniquely, it still has a population which is at least half native American, and the strength of indigenous culture is greater here than perhaps anywhere else in the hemisphere. More than anywhere, Guatemala is the product of the merger of sophisticated pre-Columbian cultures with Spanish colonialism and the consumerist influences of modern America.

Guatemalan Journey (Paperback)

Book Description
Guatemala draws some half million tourists each year, whose brief visits to the ruins of ancient Maya cities and contemporary highland Maya villages may give them only a partial and folkloric understanding of Guatemalan society. In this vividly written travel narrative, Stephen Connely Benz explores the Guatemala that casual travelers miss, using his encounters with ordinary Guatemalans at the mall, on the streets, at soccer games, and even at the funeral of massacre victims to illuminate the social reality of Guatemala today. The book opens with an extended section on the capital, Guatemala City, and then moves out to the more remote parts of the country where the Guatemalan Indians predominate. Benz offers us a series of intelligent and sometimes humorous perspectives on Guatemala's political history and the role of the military, the country's environmental degradation, the influence of foreign missionaries, and especially the impact of the United States on Guatemala, from governmental programs to fast food franchises.
