La región del Biobío

"Another volume in a series destined to present the history and main types of economy of the major regions of Chile. Biobío - a region fiercely fought over by Araucanians and Spaniards/Chileans - is remarkably variegated: plenty of hydroelectric power, rich coal deposits, solid industrial bases, and abundant agricultural production, make this a competitor of Santiago and Valparaíso-Aconcagua"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
