Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

YA-- A dazzling collection of 185 aerial photographs of eight different geographical areas of Mexico. The stunning photographs of natural beauty, mountain villages, Aztec and Mayan ruins, exquisite beaches, river valleys, and snow-topped volcanoes taken from the air belie the stereotypical notion that Mexico consists only of the poverty-stricken slums of its urban areas. Each section is preceded by a concise history of that area from pre-Columbian times, through the conquest by Spain, up to modern times. That Mexico's unique and varied geography has greatly influenced its culture, history, and economy is strikingly evident in these photographs. The index supplements the brief description of each photograph with interesting cultural and historical data. Students studying Spanish, history, art, and geography will find the book useful and entertaining. --Deanna Kuhn, Jefferson Sci-Tech, Alexandria, VA

By A Customer

This review is from: Mexico: A Higher Vision (English): An Aerial Journey from Past to Present (Hardcover)

Mexico: A higher vision, is a book for all people. Whether or not you have been to Mexico the photographs alone are astonishing. The book portrays a beautiful country giving writen details about different sections of the country along with some historical facts and myths. For those who have been there it is a sweet reminder of the culture. From the past to the present. It gives photos of the old and the new and how they mix together. Definately a must have.

Wow. The photos of this book are really great. As the wife of a Mexican, we had to have a book of photos from Mexico - to reminisce and to see places that we haven't yet visited. We searched for the perfect book - and this is it. All color photos, artistically captured, exclusively of the countryside are in this book. All of the major regions of Mexico are featured. If you haven't been to Mexico, this is a preview to the wonders that await you, and if you are missing Mexico, then this will bring a smile to your face.
