Abstract

Brazil, Laboratory of Civilization
Bilden, Rudiger | January 16, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

Territorially immense, partly unexplored, highly diversified in topography, climate, and human life, Brazil is still as to both natural and cultural phenomena largely an unknown quantity, despite a century of scientific study by foreigners and the very creditable work done by the Brazilians themselves within more recent years. Moreover, available information, which at best is fragmentary in proportion to the vastness and complexity of the field, is not popularly diffused, least of all perhaps in the United States.
