Description
Studying Spanish? Spending a year-out in Spain? Or maybe going to work there? Then you'll need this handbook of contemporary Spain and the Spanish language. Revised and expanded, this new edition is packed with essential information on politics, economy and institutions, covering the basics that are taken for granted by most Spaniards. Intended for readers without specialist knowledge in any of the subjects concerned, this is a valuable handbook for English-speaking students of Spanish.
Each chapter contains a Spanish/English glossary giving guidance on the use of specialist terms in context. Covering Spanish history, power structures and Spanish society, the handbook provides a vast amount of information, especially geared to students' needs.
""I have no hesitation in recommending (this text), particularly for students of A-level Spanish and above, but also for adults studying Spanish at almost any level."" The Lecturer
