| Summary: | "Elegant publication by journalist Baptista Gumucio and photographer Peter McFarren provides solid introduction to topic. Presents historic development of Jesuit missions of Chiquitos, entered in UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1990, in a well-crafted text complemented by prints and drawings from 19th century. Appropriately dedicated to Bishop Antonio Eduardo Bösl and Swiss architect Hans Roth in recognition of their major contributions to the restoration and conservation of many of these churches. Color photographs are an outstanding testimony to the decorative beauty of the churches of Santa Ana, Concepción, San Ignacio de Velasco, San Rafael, San Miguel, San Javier, and San Ignacio de Moxos, and of contemporary life that perpetuates a religious tradition"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58 |
