Each map, from Pineda's 1519 chart of the Gulf Coast to a 2004 road atlas, is shown or shown in detail, along with a black and white sketch map to clarify the way the Metroplex fits into the region.

A wonderful collection of lectures from the Webb Lectures at the University of Texas at Arlington on creolization in the Americas. Some of the essays are quite good and make you think in new ways about the subject. A must read.
