Looks at thirty of Argentina's most renowned country estates, "this sumptuously illustrated volume traces these country estates from their origins in the sixteenth century, to their important role today. Located throughout the length and breadth of the country -- in the mountainous north, the arid western plains, the fertile central pampa, and the desolate tablelands of the south--the estancias produced the hides and wool, the quality meat and grain that at turn of the century made Argentina one of the world's most powerful economies." --Jacket copy.
