Pocket-size tourist magazine, that presents
a lot of information about Panama. This magazine is a
complete guide specially created for the tourists, the
visitors and all the locals that want to know where to
go and what to do in Panama.

the fact that the country has never attracted mass tourism,
but times are changing. Panama is now taking advantage
of all the factors that made it a tropical paradise; like
its climate, has coasts in both sides, offers two different
atmospheres with short distance between them, it is surrounded
by several islands, and the currency is the US dollar.

leisure the visitors can do and general information on
the country, among other things.

Getting to know Panama |
|
"Getting to Know
Panama" fills a need for those who come to Panama as
visitors or residents. Panamanians also, will find out how
much they didn't know about their own country. Author Michèle
Labrut, a Frenchwoman, was particularly well-equipped to
compile this treasure-trove of information. She is a long-time
resident, a journalist, and correspondent for Time, Magazine,
NBC News and other international publications. "Getting
to Know Panama" reflects her deep fascination for the
country's history, culture, modern vitality as a center
of commerce, and the abiding beauty of its islands, beaches,
mountains and jungles. She guides the reader on many a hinterland
trek and caters to the seekers of adventure as well as the
naturalists who are discovering the vastness and variety
of Panama's unspoilt ecosystems. |

Panama Now |

Coffe table style "yearbook"
published every two years. A portrait of the Panama nation
in photos, text chapters, and statistics. Hard cover,
Indexed. Spanish and english editions.
The current edition commemorates the
centenary of the republic. It spanned a time in which
the world has seen the greatest technological and cultural
advances in history and Panama has been in the vanguard.
It explains how Panama gained its independence from Colombia
(1903), the construction of one of the greatest engineering
projects of the 29th century —the Panama Canal.
In this book we also see the intercultural
and sociological experiment that takes place in Panama
due to the digging of the Canal: North Americans, Europeans,
Hispanics, Jews, West Indians, Asians and East Indians
learned to work and live with each other.
The book also describes all the resources
and factors that make Panama the safest and prosperous
country in the region.

The Enemy Within |
|
Vividly illustrated with 320 photos,
this book tells the story of Panama's troubled years culminating
with the U.S. invasion of Panama and the capture of dictator
Gen. Manuel A. Noriega profusely illustrated. Hard cover,
Indexed. Spanish and english editions.
This book is a factual and pictorial
account of events which, had they been presented in the
form of a novel, would scarcely have been believable.
In order to understand why the U.S.A. invaded Panama's
sovereign territory, causing severe loss of life and risking
international censure, it is necessary to trace Panama's
history from the Republic in 1903. It is clear that Uncle
Sam, apart from an undeniable responsibility for paternity,
has always maintained his role of disciplinarian over
the republic.
