Guadalupe

Resumen del Libro

When looking at historical photographs of Guadalupe residents, one sees the faces that represent the area s unique and diverse past. Originally inhabited by the indigenous Chumash and mapped by Spanish explorers, Guadalupe was first named in the 1840s Mexican land grant honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe, the title given to the Virgin Mary. Through the years, waves of immigrants made their way to Guadalupe to take advantage of the fertile soil and unique geographic features, the most prominent of which are the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, which contain some of the tallest sand dunes on Earth and have been visited by locals and tourists for the last century and a half. It was in the 1920s that Hollywood discovered them and began introducing distant audiences to the region through the cinematic tradition that continues today."

El Lago Espanol

"En sentido estricto, 'el Pacifico' no existio como tal hasta que en 1520-21 Fernao de Magalhais, mas conocido como Magallanes, atraveso la enorme extension de aguas que entonces recibieron su nombre." Con estas palabras, el historiador y geografo de origen britanico Oskar Spate presenta su version del proceso en el que ese inmenso vacio se transforma en centro de las relaciones globales. EL LAGO ESPANOL describe el exito esencialmente europeo y americano en convertir ese espacio en el nexo del poder economico y militar.

Eslabones del mundo andino

El libro que el lector tiene en sus manos recoge una juiciosa investigación que arroja luz sobre los vínculos, antes insospechados, que propiciaron las dinámicas comerciales alrededor de los productos pecuarios entre los territorios del Nuevo Reino de Granada y la Audiencia de Quito. La misma es fruto del doctorado en Historia que realizara el autor en El Colegio de México entre los años 2009 y 2014. Parafraseando a sus jurados, la notable originalidad de planteamientos y resultados que expone y la robusta investigación sobre la que se sustenta, hacen que este trabajo constituya una...

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...
