Andes

“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)
