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 La sabiduría en Preamérica

Este trabajo de investigación fue una de mis primeras obras sobre el estudio del Sistema de símbolos de la Filosofía Religiosa preamericana, los conocimientos avanzadísimos sobre Neurología, y Psicología, que conceden a las civilizaciones preamericanas un lugar de privilegio en la Historia de la Neurocirugía, y dentro de la rama de la Psicología rivalizan con la India milenaria, donde podemos hallar los “psicólogos verdaderos”, seres que han alcanzado el estado más elevado de la evolución humana, no como los psicólogos occidentales que poseen sólo un título académico y unos ...

Historia de Guinea Ecuatorial

Libro Historia de Guinea Ecuatorial

La Historia de Guinea Ecuatorial es un libro necesario para conocer el pasado de este país; entender su presente, y conjeturar su futuro. Desgraciadamente, no cuenta con muchos precedentes. Durante la etapa colonial solo se hablaba y estudiaba la geografía e historia de la metrópoli; después de la independencia, Francisco Macías Nguema organizó un régimen de terror que persiguió ferozmente toda actividad intelectual convirtiendo el país en una jauría humana; por su parte el Gobierno español declaró “Materia reservada” a todo lo relacionado con su antigua colonia, norma...
