Literature of Atacama: R.A. Philippi
Rudolfo Amando Philippi, a recognized scientist from Germany describes Atacama.
R. A. Philippi publications extends to almost
all scientific specialties. Geology, history, botany and geography
to name a few in particular. His descriptions are very authentic,
with a high level of confidence. The texts show a high scientific
level, which unfortunately is not common at this time.
In addition, we must also highlight the images that accompany Philippi's
publications: The very appealing style allows us to put ourselves
into this time without any difficulties.
In the pages of "geovirtual2. cl" only refers to research in Atacama.
But it is worth mentioning his countless high-level jobs in the
rest of the country, especially in southern Chile.
Here is a small collection of texts and images that refer mainly
to the Atacama Desert:
