<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A colorful history of Chile from prehistoric times to the present</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Within Chile is the driest desert in the world, the highest mountain range in the hemisphere, temperate rainforests, and a piece of Antarctica. In all these areas Chileans have created unique communities and, together, a vibrant nation. Chile's history mirrors its geographic variety. From its pre-colonial period, to its days as a Spanish colony, through its many independent governments, Chile has long been a land of crises and controversy. Beginning with a survey of the land, people, and current government of Chile, the book traces the chronological story of the country. Ten chapters follow the details of Chilean history from the indigenous peoples to the democratic transition after the Pinochet dictatorship. This is the perfect starting point for students and travelers interested in the history and people of Chile.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>John L. Rector</b> is professor of history at Western Oregon University and has been a consultant to various travel guides on Chile.</p>
