.... Nowhere is the reader informed that the book is, for the most part, a simple condensation of the useful two-volume Breve historia de la Revolución by the same author. Nowhere is it acknowledged that entire paragraphs—indeed entire pages—have been lifted en masse from the Breve historia . Nowhere...

.... Hamerly’s characterization of the first chapter on the Enlightenment in Latin America as “a litany of Black Legend generalizations and claptrap.” Nowhere do I assert that Espejo alone expressed the ideas then current in the enlightened circles of the Old World. Also, to equate the man of the Enlightenment...

..., but also economists concerned with the almost universal problem of inflation. On the one hand, Eder is obviously a master of what the Latin Americans call “la politiquería.” Much of the book’s exasperation arises from the fact that he is, on the other hand, quite oblivious to “la política.” Nowhere...

... dependence on Mexico for a major energy source. More serious is the author’s failure to follow through with his conceptual introduction. Seldom are the theoretical concerns raised in the core of the book. He alludes to dependency theory once or twice, but nowhere analyzes it or tests it against his data...

... is he bemused as they are with our Cold War, nationalistic, and “free enterprise” myths. Nowhere does he parrot the official propaganda line or cater to the sentimental liberals who pipe forth cautious sorrow and do-goodism from the warm womb of official welfare follies. The “Holy” Alliance for Progress...

... Rivera celebrated Mexico’s mestizo fusion; in Uruguay, Rodó denounced crass U.S. materialism; Argentina saw anti-immigrant xenophobia and the cult of the gaucho; Peru gave birth to APRA’s radical Indo-Americanism. Nowhere was this new nationalism stronger than in Chile, but nowhere was the precise...

...’s, as well as of native Maya personalities. It is a light-hearted, conversational book, but nowhere else could one find so much in print on the personal side of the heyday of Maya archaeology. ...

... people. But nowhere does he use his massive documentation and exhaustive analysis to make broad generalizations. Venezuela , país sub desarrollado should provide any interested student with a very useful collection of statistics, but does not fulfill the need for a lucid analysis of Venezuela’s...

... A. McQuown’s fine review article “The General History of the Things of New Spain , by Bernardino de Sahagun,” in HAHR , 38 (May 1958), 235-238. The revised edition nowhere notes what revisions have been made but they appear to be minor changes in the translations from Nahuatl to English. As McQuown has...

... to be useful, and it is unfortunate that nowhere in this book designed for the collector is there mention of the antiquities’ laws of various nations which have bearing on the legality of procurement, shipment, and ownership of prehistoric items. ...

...” (p. 1). While employing this data to move from “reductionist explanations” (p. 24), the work is flawed fatally by its own “reductionist” (simplistic) methodology: The author makes naive assumptions about his data. Nowhere are we told that the variable relationships are linear, linearity being...

... claimed in the preface is nowhere in evidence. In short, the book appears to be what the jacket notice says it is not, a “warmed-over” 1961 Ph.D. thesis, and not a terribly exciting one at that. ...

..., administrative reform was regarded as a crucial element in developmental strategies. Mixed results led to skepticism over the enterprise and, as we are reminded at the outset, a “rejection of the concept of administrative reform is nowhere more complete than in the field of development administration” (p. 1...

... and friendly. Though apt expression to describe a departed friend is impossible, the eternal accolade that this was “a Christian gentleman and a scholar” is nowhere more properly applied than to David Vigness. ...

... has championed the idea of contact and cultural influence between Mesoamerica and arid America. The editors have grouped the contributions into three roughly distinct geographic zones. Part one concentrates on the “Upper” Southwest (southwest of nowhere in the book and “upper” in the sense of most...

...), a generalization that slights natives of Louisiana and does not even take into account the European French. Nowhere does he cite Gabriel Debien, the author of major studies on Saint-Domingue refugees in Jamaica, Cuba, and Louisiana. The time invested in searching out allusions to Haiti over the antebellum period...

... economic policies pursued by Spain were nowhere more shortsighted than in this particular area, where a more liberal attitude would have ensured a steadier supply of mercury, either from outside Spain and Peru, or with the help of New Spain’s own mercury deposits, which foreign technology and advice might...

... for the specialist in military history. Nowhere does the work approach the synthesis produced by John Lynch in his recent work on the sixteenth-century Hapsburg monarchy in Spain. ...

... complete as a bibliography. Newton Sucupira and Valmir Chagas nowhere appear. Documenta , a rich source of thought as the official organ of the Conselho Federal de Educado, is treated in one (incomplete) entry (#176). Publications of SEEC, the statistical agency of the Ministry of Education...
