Book Description
One of the world's newest and most successful democracies, Costa Rica thrives on a land that is also young. Relatively recently in geologic time, forces pushed the Central American country from the ocean floor, creating its volcanic mountains and forested lowlands. Costa Rica is a paradise for historians and eco-tourists, the last country the gods made. Photographer Kimberly Parsons and authors Adrian Colesberry and Brass McLean capture the unique mix that is modern-day Costa Rica in Costa Rica: The Last Country the Gods Made. This comprehensive collection of insightful essays and more than sixty photographs leads armchair travelers on an unforgettable odyssey through this magical country's life and landscape.

It covers everything about the country and has gorgeous pics
I bought this book last year after I came back from a trip to Costa Rica. I wish I had known about it beforehand! The writers are very passionate about everything Costa Rican from coffee to indigenous peoples, from ants to women's issues, from bananas to religion! My favorite chapter was "House Made of Rain", an exploration of the rain forest from the point of view of a bird--you'll never forget it! By the way, the book is a beautiful hardcover, not paperback.
