Rezensionen

"The book is richly illustrated with about 400 of the authors' photographs. Most are excellent images that are effective at engaging and informing the reader. ... They have prepared an excellent comprehensive regional geography informed by years of research, publication, travel, and residence in the region. This book will serve as a useful guide and key reference tool for understanding the Andean region for years to come." (Robert B. Kent, The AAG Review of Books, Vol. 4 (3), July, 2016)
