| Synopsis: |
Guatemala is known to many as the Country of Eternal Spring, where the ruins of ancient temples poke above jungle vegetation, where volcanoes cast a red glow at night, and where handsome examples of colonial Spanish buildings contrast with modern architecture in the capital, Guatemala City. This title helps to find out: what happened to the ancient Mayan civilization in this part of Central America; why more than 20 Amerindian languages are still spoken throughout the country; how the United States has influenced events in Guatemala for more than 50 years; when Guatemala was ruled by a series of harsh military-led governments, resulting in civil war; ans, why Guatemala is positioned for economic growth in the coming years. In addition, in this book you'll find project and report ideas-including enough recipes for an authentic Guatemalan buffet - a glossary, a list of festivals, organizations to contact for more information, and suggestions for further reading. There's a lot to discover about Guatemala today. |
