Venezuela

"Venezuela" by Leonard V. Dalton is a comprehensive exploration of Venezuela's geography, history, and natural environment. The book starts by painting a vivid picture of Venezuela's diverse landscapes, from the towering Guayana Highlands to the vast plains of the Llanos and the coastal regions around Lake Maracaibo, pointing out its separation from Colombia and British Guiana. It goes on to describe its geological formation, plant and animal life, and the unfolding of its historical events. Dalton's aim to thoroughly cover the country's valuable natural resources and its important place in history shows through. The narrative merges geographical details with a sense of wonder for Venezuela's rich biodiversity and the possibilities for discovery within its unexplored areas.
