Synopsis

The book “The spatial configuration of Alagoas” is a contribution to Alagoas geography. In it, the reader will find a rich survey of the most relevant aspects for understanding the regional sections carried out in the state since ancient times. The 102 municipalities gain movement, as they are described in their genesis, within a tone that turns reading into a call to look at Alagoas in its internal natural, cultural, political, economic and social diversity and its particularities in relation to other units of Brazilian territory. Professor Paulo Rogério's didactic writing allows the work to be understood, even when read in parts, as I believe that many people from Alagoas will immediately find themselves in their place. In this sense, I invite you to enjoy reading this state, presented to me and so many colleagues by my friend Paulo Rogério, in such a beautiful and original way.
