Cerro Gordo

Resumen del Libro

Libro Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

Libro En la frontera del caos

Exclusive interviews with key political figures in Mexico—former presidents Zedillo and Salinas, and guerrilla leader Marcos—are the basis of this study that untangles the complex influences that have shaped Mexico over the past 20 years. From the Zapatistas to electoral fraud, this well-researched history accounts for many parts of Mexican politics and economy that have remained obscured by official silence. Beyond recurring catastrophes, however, this journalist finds the seed of a modern democracy in Vicente Fox's presidency, one which the author analyzes in a prologue added for this...

Libro Historia del Islam temprano

Diferentes puntos de vista sobre cómo lidiar con las fuentes disponibles ha llevado al desarrollo de cuatro enfoques diferentes a la historia del Islam temprano. Los cuatro métodos tienen cierto nivel de soporte hoy. El método descriptivo utiliza los contornos de las tradiciones islámicas, mientras se ajusta a las historias de milagros y reclamos centrados en la fe dentro de esas fuentes.
