Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Argentina is subdivided into twenty-three provinces (Spanish: provincias, singular provincia) and one autonomous city (Ciudad autónoma de Buenos Aires, informally the Capital Federal). The city and the provinces have their own constitutions, but exist under a federal system.Provinces are then divided into departments (Spanish: departamentos, singular departamento), except for Buenos Aires Province, which is divided into partidos. Even though there are provinces that belong to more than one region, they are shown here within the most representative region. In the Tucumán province, the smallest of Argentina, coexist three regions: the Pampas to the south, Gran Chaco to the northeast, and Argentine Northwest. ... Read more

Product Description
Examining both the accomplishments and failures in the historical formation of the nation, this volume spans 12,000 years of Argentine history to provide some answers to the nation's longstanding dilemmas. It begins its investigation with the earliest agriculuturists, who resisted the conquering Inca, and concludes with the political and economic challenges that face the country. Providing a comprehensive narrative of Argentina's rich history, this reference focuses on such key events as the arrival of European colonialists, the struggle for independence, the era of Juan and Eva Peron, and the period known as the Dity War. Specific attention is given to: the culture and history of Argentina's indigenous population; how the area became one of Spain's most commerically successful colonies; the histories, social and political conditions that led to the Dirty War; and the conflict of political power and economic privilege in modern Argentina. ...

Look elsewhere
This book was not good. It was conversationally written and thus easy to read, but if you are really paying attention and trying to learn something, you will notice inconsistencies and places where the chronology of events is not clear.

For example: the Due Obedience Law is passed (exempting low-ranking soldiers from prosecution for dirty war crimes, as they were following orders). Next paragraph: "Despite government actions favorable to their interests, the officer corps remained unrepentant." Next paragraph - a group of soldiers protest. Next paragraph: "The Due Obedience Law followed." Huh?

And that is just one example... one chapter was so jumbled I couldn't even follow it. If I could do it all over again, I'd choose one of the other histories of Argentina.

Well written, up-to-date, and authoritative.
The author's relaxed, conversational writing style makes this wonderful history book a great read for someone who seeks a solid introduction to Argentina's history. It is written by a well-credentialed professor of Latin American Studies who bases the book, at least in part, on the research of five doctoral dissertations and 15 master's projects written by his students, and former students, about Argentine history. It makes a nice companion to your travel guide. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Argentina," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Argentina in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Argentina when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Argentina, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
