Chapters: Great Blue Hole, List of Islands of Belize. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 20. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Geography of Belize -Belize claims an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles (370.4 km; 230.2 mi) and a territorial sea of 12 nautical miles (22.2 km; 13.8 mi). From the mouth of the Sarstoon River to Ranguana Cay, Belize's territorial sea is 3 nmi (5.6 km; 3.5 mi); according to Belize's Maritime Areas Act, 1992, the purpose of this limitation is to provide a framework for the negotiation of a definitive agreement on territorial differences with Guatemala. Climate Terrain Belize's lowest elevation is at sea level. Its highest point is Doyle's Delight at 1,124 m (3,688 ft). This conclusion was the result of a recent survey, showing Doyle's Delight is slightly higher than Victoria Peak at 1,120 m (3,675 ft), which had long been regarded as Belize's highest point. Natural hazards in Belize include hurricanes (mostly in the late Atlantic hurricane season, September to December) and coastal flooding, especially in the south. Current environmental degradation issues in Belize include deforestation, water pollution from sewage, industrial effluents, and agricultural runoff, and solid waste disposal]].

From the supplier: The Mopan Mayas of southern Belize do not enjoy a harmonious relationship with the government. Although the government has given them a reservation to support themselves, the Mopan Mayas constantly experience discrimination on the management of protectedareas that indigenous people are allowed to their everyday living. In addition, the government does not support their use of resources found outside the area of their villages. Instead, it promotes logging activities that hinder the cultural-ecological choices available to these indigenous people. These and other developments have resulted into conflicts between the Mopan Mayas and the government.

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Belize," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Belize in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Belize when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Belize, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
The small nation of Belize has long been separated from its Central American neighbors by history, language and culture. Formerly a British colony, this English-speaking country has traditionally looked towards the Caribbean islands rather than Central America for its economic and political links. Yet Belize's enclave status is increasingly a thing of the past, as trade, cross-border migration and a booming eco-tourism industry break down old barriers and put pressure on the country's social structures and natural resources.As Belize's agricultural mainstays face an uncertain future, the country has opted for green tourism and service industries as economic alternatives. Beaches, coral reefs and the rainforest are now at the forefront of the Belizean economy, a development with serious implications for the country's environment and indigenous communities.Belize in Focus is an authoritative and up-to-date guide to this spectacular country. It explores the land, history and politics, economy, society and people, culture and environment, and includes tips on where to go and what to see. ... Read more

So so book
The book was just "so so". It was a little out-dated but it was rather cheap. Delivery was fast.

Useful, detailed
It's good to read these details of the People, Politics and Culture, as the author subtitles it.

The "Adapter Kit Belize" was read more thoroughly and had more useful details before we made our first trip to the country. ... Read more
