Scope/Content: The purpose of this book is to use the geography of North, South, and Central America and discuss the history, culture, social and political aspects of Hispanic-Americans.

Accuracy/Authority/Bias: George Ochoa has written other books about the history and culture of Hispanic-Americans. This book is geared towards that ethnic group but wants to teach others about their history. Facts on File is a well-known and trusted publisher.

Arrangement and presentation: There are 250 pages that include maps, illustrations and text.

Relation to similar works: There are histories of other groups and even Hispanic-Americans but not combined with the geography making this book unique.

Accessibility/Diversity: This book is for teens and adults alike and is geared to learning about the Hispanic-American culture. With the growing Hispanic population this book could be helpful to not only that population but all patrons.

Cost: $95.00
