The Latin American studies collections at many community, junior and four year colleges, and large public libraries often contain materials that are too specialized, uneven, outdated, incomplete, or written in Spanish or Portuguese--thus rendering them essentially useless to English-reading patrons. Better materials are out there, but librarians simply have not had, until now, a good resource guide to help in locating them.This work, designed as an acquisitions tool for colleges and libraries, is an annotated bibliography of approximately 1,400 recommended books published from 1986 through 2000 in the field of Latin American studies. It is divided into chapters that deal with reference works, descriptive accounts and travel guides, the humanities, language and literature, the social sciences, and science and technology. For the purposes of this book, Latin America is defined as all geographic locations south of the Rio Grande. While these are chiefly Spanish and Portuguese speaking regions, works about French, English, and Dutch speaking areas are also included. The literary works of authors living abroad are included if they are considered quintessentially Latin American. Periodicals, children's literature, audio-visual resources, and works about the Hispanic and Latino experience in the United States are not included. The majority of the works presented here were selected based on reviews from Booklist, Choice, Hispanic American Historical Review, Library Journal, Los Angeles Times Book Review, New York Review of Books, New York Times Book Review and Publisher's Weekly; also consulted were the catalogs of major university presses that focus on Latin American studies.

Fully revised and updated, this bilingual dictionary features Latin-American Spanish vocabulary and usage and includes new International Phonetic Alphabet pronunciations of every Spanish and English entry.

The Spanish language has numerous words that are similar in appearance to English words but have different meanings. These false cognates can have vastly different meanings from the English words they resemble, or may only differ in nuance. This dictionary covers Spanish false cognates.

This reference work was born from the need for a comprehensive dictionary of Latin American legal abbreviations. It covers legal abbreviations from Latin America, Brazil, and Spain (included because of its close historical association with Latin America and its influential legal tradition). Abbreviations are listed if they relate to the three branches of government, governmental actions, legal associations, businesses, banking, and commercial terms related to law, dates, and major geographical regions. Also included are selected European legal terms closely associated with the Latin American legal tradition. A typical entry provides as much as possible of the following information: abbreviation/acronym; meaning or phrase; country/countries of origin or usage; and English translation. This first major work of its kind belongs in the libraries of legal and commercial firms doing business in Latin America. Law and academic libraries and government and international organization libraries will also want to add this book to their collections.
