Perspectivas Book, 2008-10-12
I was happy that my book arrived just in time for our first reading for my Spanish 142 class. But when I received the package and opened it, it smelled funny, and was very tattered. It seems that the previous owner did not take good care of it, and it smells very much like cigarette. And a lot of the pages are heavily drawn on with pencil. Not complaining because I finally have my book, but I would have wanted to know that the book wasn't very well taken care of, and that a lot of the pages were written on and that it smells badly. And the book didn't come with the CD.

Great essays about the Spanish-speaking Americas, 2005-05-09
PROS: well-written, with few typos. Each chapter introduces cognates to increase vocabulary. Comprehension questions before and after each essay or poem. Contains great pictures of important artwork, people, and landmarks.

CONS: a little pricey. Audio CD and essays have slightly different wording at times.

My Spanish conversation class used this text, and the essays on Latin society, ancient ruins, and past/present famous political leaders are very interesting and informative. It also contains important poems that focus on such topics as the adversities faced by the poor and minorities.

The audio CD helps a lot for pronunciation.
