Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to South America With the exception of a small handbook published in the United States, and a brief Guide issued by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, this work is the only book of the kind with which I am acquainted. As far as possible, it is written from personal knowledge, and I am much indebted to information kindly furnished by various Consular officials. Many of the books which I have consulted are mentioned in the text. It is hoped that this Guide may be useful at the present time, when the question of food supplies is prominent and when the successors of Cochrane have cleared the South American coast from the marauder. The book was ready for the press at the end of last July, but its publication was delayed owing to the war and again owing to my military duties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South America The history of a continent such as South America, con fined to the limits of a single volume of moderate size, must of necessity contain some elements of mere survey. Nevertheless, since in no other but a condensed form could the respective strides achieved by the various nations of this continent be satisfactorily judged and compared, the author is encouraged to hope that this small work may fill in one of the most obvious of the many gaps in the English versions of South American history. He has endeavoured to lay stress on the trend of the authorities and peoples in question rather than to emphasize the rigid succession of Governors and Presi dents. In the same way, since space has had to be con sidered, it was thought desirable to introduce at any length only those personalities notable for their actions and intrinsic influence, leaving in the background those others whose only claim to the interest of posterity lies in the weight of the Office they held.

Download or read book The Andes and the Amazon written by James Orton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by James Orton, a Professor of Natural History at Vassar College in New York State, The Andes and the Amazon, or Across the Continent of South America tells the tale of the author's exploration of the continent in 1867. Now republished by Forgotten Book, this book provides the reader with one man's take on South America and its people. The book opens with a brief introduction, which states, "In this century one can almost count upon his hand the travelers who have written of their journeys in this unknown region." The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different facet of South America. There are chapters on the city and people of Guayaquil, an account of climbing the Andes, the country of Ecuador and in particular Quito, traversing the Amazon and the fantastic wildlife of the great river, and more. The book concludes with a brief guide for readers on how to travel in South America, including the most popular routes and the necessary precautions to take. The Andes and the Amazon is clearly a product of a specific time period. The author and his attitudes can occasionally be interpreted as racist. Orton's tone not withstanding, this is an interesting account of an early exploration of South America. The author does an admirable job describing the flora and fauna of the region, and certainly respects the beautiful natural terrain of the continent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Latin-American History It may be that proper appreciation of the existing mutual dependence can arrive only through the strengthening of the economic bonds already created. A study of our commercial relations With Latin America shows that the two Americas are essentially inter - dependent. For that reason, a considerable portion of the accompanying syllabus has been devoted to such considerations, in the hope that through the study of this prae tical basis of inter-american relations there may arise a Pan American consciousness of common aims and interests, to which this little book is sincerely dedicated.

Download or read book Understanding South America Classic Reprint written by Clayton Sedgwick Cooper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding South America is a book written by author and world traveller Clayton Sedgwick Cooper. This title is intended to be an introduction for American audiences to the continent and people of South America. Understanding South America assumes a broad approach to examining South America. The author travelled the country interacting with the locals in many different countries and communities, and has constructed this book around tales of these travels. The ultimate purpose of the book is to reveal the tendencies and conditions of the lives of South American people. The book examines many different peoples, including chapters on Germans in South America, Peruvians, Cuzco and the modern aboriginal, Argentines, the men of Brazil, and many more topics. Some countries are explored in great depth, such as Brazil, while others receive only cursory mention. Illustrations are also included, which assist the author in contextualizing some of his writings. Understanding South America is a noble early attempt at profiling the continent of South America and the varied peoples that make up its population. While the author is not immune to the colonial attitudes that are so pervasive in works of this nature written in the early twentieth century, Cooper does his best to provide an honest evaluation of his experiences. The strength of the title is the author's handling of various cultures as their own distinct groups, and not painting the entire continent with a single brush. Readers interested in learning about the attitudes of Americans towards South America in the early twentieth century will surely find Understanding South America to be a fascinating read. The book is rich in historical context, and the narrative penned by Cooper is entertaining. This title is a worthwhile addition to the library of anybody interested in South American studies.
