La Geografia de Costa Rica, published in 1987 by the EUNED, and that is only a small part of the work performed on Professor Eusebio Costa Rica allowed us back on track this Costa Rican geographical science.
Personally follow the example of the teacher is what motivates this study geography because science gives us an overview of the problems that affect us in our environment and our society in which we implement for attaining criticality solve the problem. Your life is a reflection of consequence in the political and social where our work as geographers must be pro to be a transformative social conditions affect our national and global society with which I am identified with the teacher. I also had the privilege of being his student, and me in Chile will not be another geographer that could reflect or project as an example to follow.
