Chile

by Renee Martinez

For almost three hundred years, until the early nineteenth century, Chile was a neglected outpost of the Spanish Empire. Today, the country is one of the most prosperous nations in South America and a land of many sharp contrasts. From the world's oldest known mummies to its most ambitious astronomical projects, this book explores the lives and culture of a fiercely resilient people.
