H si fa chiamare con una lettera muta, come mute sono le vittime della storia, la stessa lettera che nella tavola periodica indica l’idrogeno, l’elemento alla base della bomba atomica. La sua storia comincia proprio il 6 agosto del 1945, quando il lancio di Little Boy su Hiroshima la colpisce ancora bambina e la sfigura nel profondo, lì dove risiede la storia di un corpo e la promessa di una maternità.

Christopher Columbus most likely wasn’t the person to discover the Americas. He wasn’t even the first European to do so! Despite that, his three trips to the Western Hemisphere led to many more European explorers heading in that direction. In this volume, readers familiar with Columbus’s travels on the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria can learn who Columbus was beyond his travels. Supported by full-color and historic images, interesting main content turns what readers think they know about the life of Columbus on its head while expounding on an important period in the history of the world.

California became a territory in the United States when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848. That treaty ended the Mexican War. Several days before its signing, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in what is now Sacramento. The non-Native population of the territory was less than one thousand in 1848, but the gold rush increased that number to one hundred thousand by the end of 1849.
