Geography and Environment : Grenada

The most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning Grenada is the annual Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 130 contributing editors under the editorship of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. Additional coverage of journal articles can be found through a subscription to the Hispanic American Periodical Index (http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/).   Both the Handbook and HAPI are available in selected libraries in book form.   One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of subjects relating to Grenada is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/cb/grenada/). LANIC also provides links to maps of both the region and individual countries throughout Latin America at http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/map/index.html. Another site one should especially note is that of the Geography and Map Reading Room of the Library of Congress at http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/.
