The author shows the variety and beauty of Mexican houses with more than 350 full-color photos. The houses of Mexico have a rich past and are the product of a unique culture that mixes the heritage of the Toltecs and Mayas with that of Spanish and French invaders. Added to this is the influence of the land itself, for Mexico ranges from seashore to desert, from jungle to mountaintop, from a city of 20 million to a wilderness where time seems to stand still.
