"The Historical Dictionary of Ecuador, this newest addition to Rowman & Littlefield's longstanding series ""Historical Dictionaries of the Americas,"" is notable for its succinct yet descriptive entries covering vast expanses of time, while frequently emphasizing current events. The author, Lauderbaugh (emer., Jacksonville State Univ.), is a historian who has previously written three books on Ecuador and holds the distinction of induction into Ecuador's National Academy of History. The bulk of the entry on education covers 1980 to the present, and the entry on foreign relations dedicates substantial space to the topics of the Snowden affair and Julian Assange. . . The chronology, which emphasizes late-20th and 21st-century events, and a well-organized bibliography are. . . uniquely useful. Altogether this is a well-informed text. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division and upper-division undergraduates. -- ""Choice Reviews"" The Historical Dictionary of Ecuador, this newest addition to Rowman & Littlefield's longstanding series ""Historical Dictionaries of the Americas,"" is notable for its succinct yet descriptive entries covering vast expanses of time, while frequently emphasizing current events.
