The accordion-style pages of this history of the Spanish colonial heritage in Baja California foldout to reveal an exquisitely detailed six foot long satellite map of the Peninsula. With photos and detailed information about the missions and brief biographies of key figures. Harry Crosby, Exequial Ezcurra, Enrique Hambleton and Julia Bendimez Patterson contribute essays on the geography, biodiversity, missions and history of Baja California, presented in both Spanish and English.  (BJA68, $40.00)
