Guyana
Index
Like its predecessor, this study is an attempt to examine
objectively and concisely the dominant historical, social,
economic, political, and military aspects of contemporary Guyana
and Belize. Sources of information included scholarly books,
journals, monographs, official reports of governments and
international organizations, and numerous periodicals. Chapter
bibliographies appear at the end of the book; brief comments on
sources recommended for further reading appear at the end of each
chapter. To the extent possible, place-names follow the system
adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.
Measurements are given in the metric system; a conversion table is
provided to assist readers unfamiliar with metric measurements (see
table 1, Appendix A). A glossary is also included.
The body of the text reflects information available as of
January 1992. Certain other portions of the text, however, have
been updated. The Introduction discusses significant events that
have occurred since the completion of research; the Country Profile
includes updated information as available; several figures and
tables are based on information in more recently published sources;
and the Bibliography lists recently published sources thought to be
particularly helpful to the reader.
