Student researchers will find “Chile” a solid source of information about the South American nation. The appealing layout, colorful pictures, diagrams, maps, and charts, create an appealing reference. Fact seekers will rejoice to find format colorful and appealing. Each chapter introduces facts related to a different aspect of the survey: geography, history, government, economy, wildlife, environment, people and lifestyles of Chile. Interesting sidebars are included in each chapter, as well as suggested internet links for additional exploration.
Two recipes (pastel de cholo and czuela de ave) are included for adventurous readers who would like a taste of Chilean culture. Topographical, economic, and cultural maps of Chile are colorful. However, the cultural map is captioned in hard-to-read tiny type, limiting its usefulness. A one-page fact file at the end of the book will be particularly helpful to student researchers, along with the timeline contrasting the country’s historical benchmarks with the world’s. Unfamiliar terms are explained in a brief glossary, which incorporates a key to pronunciation. Readers inspired to explore beyond this volume will find the list of books, web sites, and films helpful.
