So I'm taking Geography of Middle America, and we have to do a book review with anything relating to the region. Can you guys suggest anything? I know this might not be /trv/ material, but I think you guys might help...

No, Middle America is the proper term for the region, which includes the Caribbean, Mexico, and northern South America. Central America only includes land south of Mexico.

ITT underage OP.

I mean GEOGRAPHY, seriously? Last time I took that shit I was in 9th grade.

If you were in college and Geography was your major I think you'd know at least SOMETHING to do a measly book review on.

Something to do with their food and food anthropology in the different climates, topologies, were there trade routes were.. and how did that influence their diets.., pre-colombian, post-colombian. Foods besides fish, fowl and mammals would be corn, potatoes, beans, quinoa, amaranth, wild rice, sweet potatos, avocados, vanilla, chocolate, wild nuts and fruits.

Please be more specific. Physical Geography? Human Geography? Most of central America has the same Physical geography since there isn't a lot of land there...

Mexico on the other hand has almost everything, deserts, mountains, tropical forests, volcanoes, tacos, cheap labour, etc.

You need a Geography major in order to do GIS, moran. Next time you use Google Earth, Mapquest, or any variation of those, I hope you enjoy your little bubble of thought that this shit magically appears on the internet.

Anything related to the region, in the word of the professor. He gives the example of "Five Letters From Cortez to the Emperor".

Well, the north of mexico is very arid(deserts), has a lot of exporting industries and his culture is kind of influenced by the US, it`s the richest part of the country. The middle has an stable temperature(forest), most of the population is there, it`s the administrative center and it´s not so poor. South is full of jungles, there are a lot of indigenous people same goes for most of central america, basic activities tourism, the exploiting of natural resources, guerillas, the poorest part of the country etc.. The country has 2 mayor mountain ranges, in the last 15 years the culture has changed a lot due to globalization, lots of migration etc... meh im lazy.

Actually the whole using "America" to referr to the US is erred and shows ignorance.

America is the whole continent from Alaska to the Patagonia and is in no way just the one country between Canada and Mexico.

It's not the fault of proper Geography nomenclature that you guys lacked imagination when you named your country back in the 1700's.

We didn't name our country that, you did. We were New Yorkers and Georgians and Massholes, we picked a boring generic name for our federal government because the states have most of the power.

Its your fault if you only apply the word American to people from the United States

America is only ever used to refer to the United States of America. The continents are referred to as North America and South America and together they are referred to as the Americas.

Damnit, it's been a week and the thread is still up without a single good recommendation...

Congrats on breaking the stereotype, Slowest Board of 4Chan.

The Bow of Balam Acab (el arco de Balam Acab) - Mayan folklore. Mayan folklore is pretty win in general. This is probably Spanish level 3, so if you suck at Spanish, this one probably isn't for you.
