South America is an area of fascination and study for geographers
and other scholars from around the world, and its land and people
have played important roles in the discovery and distribution of
civilizations, resources, and nations for millennia. The region has
long stimulated a large amount of research across the many
subdisciplines of geography, and Thomas A. Rumney collects,
organizes, and presents as many scholarly publications as possible
in The Geography of South America: A Scholarly Guide and
Bibliography. Every South American nation is included: Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana,
Paraguay, Peru, Surinam, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Beginning with an
overview of the region as a whole, successive chapters, one per
nation, are divided by specific subdisciplines of geography:
cultural, social, economic, historical, physical and environmental,
political, and urban. Each section is then divided by document
type: atlases, books, book chapters, articles from scholarly
journals, master's theses, and doctoral dissertations. Although the
majority of entries focus on English-language works, selected
entries written in Spanish, French, German, and other languages are
also included (with the entry titles translated into English and
noted accordingly).
