"This book is a synthesis of the natural, historical, sociological, cultural, economic and artistic phenomena of Chile. Part I, The Country and its Nature, describes the Chilean territory and its main morphological features.. Part II, The Course of Man, studies the first evidence of human existence as an archaeological theme. The written history of Chile begins with the first contact between native Chileans and Spaniards. Two expeditions came to discover and conquer Chile before Pedro de Valdivia undertook the final conquest.." [Excerpted from the dust wrapper blurb]. Very good .
