PATAGONIA History of Patagonia

This book of Patagonia written by Jaime Said is a complete work based on the history and geography of the region very well documented, both by the sources, and by the bibliographic detail at the end of the book. Chronicles from navigators, explorers, cartographers, and kings fill the pages of this book within an atmosphere from the Renaissance to the Age of Enlightenment in the eighteenth century. It covers the Patagonian territory as a single continent and always based on what is now defined as Argentine and Chilean Patagonia. Written as a text of studies in chronological form, where the arguments and the details are united before a rigorous disciplined format. It is remarkable the question of boundaries that are addressed here, as well as the details of the different ethnic groups, including their wild flora and fauna.
