There are few academic books giving an overview of Ecuador.This one does a good job without being too dry.Good for the traveler who wants a deeper understanding, and essential for any student doing advanced cultural studies in the country.

I read while I was living/traveling in Ecuador for two months, and it provided many interesting insights into the country's history and politics. The variety of articles is excellent. (Personally I would have wished for a greater weight on contemporary writings, but to each his own.) There are few books in English about Ecuador generally. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the country.

If you want lots of details on life and attractions in Guayaquil and Quito, this is your book. Cursory treatment of anything outside these two largest metropolitan areas Not quite what I was looking for. Crowder does however have many interesting audio interviews with authors and experts that are available online. Search latin america traveler dot com.

This book has a series of excellent articles covering a range of topics on Ecuadorian culture.As a foreign aficionado of Ecuador, I truly appreciated the new insights into Ecuador found in this book.This is not a book that you read through from cover to cover - you read individual chapters.

I am 3 weeks away from my first trip to Ecuador, and South America, and have throughly enjoyed this guide book.All of the Moon guides I have read are good.Unfortunately my copy ordered on June 2, 2010, has pages 85-116 replaced with a repeat of pages 53-84 so this is just a warning to check your copy when you get it.It was beyond the return date before I noticed it and I'm still trying to find out how to get a replacement.



Hopefully this is just a fluke and other copies are fine.

As all Culture Shock books, this too is a very good one in unerstanding the soul of a country.

From Pre-Colombian history to modern day recipes, this book has it all. Definitely an intellectual read, it covers Ecuardor's people and history in depth. The book covers indigenous issues, afro-ecuadorian history, poetry, fiction, mountaineering, the Panama Hat, the banana and oil booms, and so much more. I felt like I really understood the country as a whole after I read this book.

I ordered this guide and the Lonely Planet Guide.I had previously toured Costa Rica using the Lonely Planet Guide and it worked out very well.This time I wanted to see if there was any additional information in the Rough Guide that would be helpfull.I have not yet gone to Eucador so I can not comment on the accuracy, but the detail in the Lonely Planet guide is much greater than that of the Lonely Planet Guide. Besides that it is much more compact. 440 pages vs 590.Basically Lonely Planet is more concise and more informative.If you are going to Ecuador and have room for one book, I recommend Lonely Planet rather than Rough Guide.

I think this book is a comprehensive and excellent resource for anyone considering moving to Ecuador, which would be me.The topics from history to current culture and politices, climate, demographics, etc. were very helpful to me.

This book gave me the answers I was looking for and introduced some items I hadn't even thought about.Nicely organized, fairly concise, informative but certainly not dry, it provides an excellent overview of what to expect when taking a trip to Ecuador.
