Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for

Reading tips
- Read the table of contents first to grasp the overall structure, then choose readings by geography, history, and society rather than proceeding page by page.

- Read alongside a map, locating the regions and cities mentioned as you go to strengthen your sense of space.

About the author
Charles Reginald Enock (1868–1970) was a British civil and mining engineer, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a Latin Americanist and a travel writer. He undertook long surveys in Mexico, Peru and Ecuador, and wrote works including Mexico, The Andes and the Amazon and Spanish America. The collection here holds three of his books: the two volumes of Spanish America, Its Romance, Reality and Future and Mexico. His writing draws on firsthand fieldwork and covers the geography, history, resources and society of Latin America, combining the immediacy of travel literature with the practical outlook of an engineer and geographer. Public information about him is limited, and biographical details remain difficult to establish, but these works show a sustained interest in the realities and future prospects of Spanish America, making him a representative British writer on Latin America in the early twentieth century.
