In Mexican Prisons: The Journal of Eduard Harkort, 1832-1834
ISBN: 9781585440122 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Popular history has not venerated Eduard Harkort as a hero of either Santa Anna's 1832 uprising in Mexico or the Texas Revolution against the revolutionary-turned-dictator. The journal of Harkort, a middle-class German mining engineer, recorded during his two years of fighting and imprisonment in Mexico, reveals the activities and feelings of a brave and multitalented man who withdrew from nineteenth-century corporate life and ultimately found himself in battle, before a firing squad, and in prison.
First published in Germany in 1858 by Harkort's son-in-law, the journal of Eduard Harkort... Popular history has not venerated Eduard Harkort as a hero of either Santa Anna's 1832 uprising in Mexico or the Texas Revolution against the revoluti...

The North Mexican Cattle Industry, 1910-1975: Ideology, Conflict, and Change
ISBN: 9781585440375 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By the end of the nineteenth century the cattle industry in northern Mexico was thriving. Large haciendas, based on the peonage system and many of them foreign-owned, produced hundreds of thousands of head of cattle that enriched "hacendados" and filled ranges in both Mexico and the United States. But the Revolution of 1910 overturned Mexico's social and economic structure, and by the 1920s large holdings were being broken up and almost 70 percent of the vast herds were gone.
Machado examines the devastation of the revolutionary period, when herds were slaughtered to feed armies or... By the end of the nineteenth century the cattle industry in northern Mexico was thriving. Large haciendas, based on the peonage system and many of the...

Medieval Culture and the Mexican American Borderlands
ISBN: 9781585441327 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The land along the U.S.-Mexican border is often portrayed as the place where two separate cultures meet--or indeed collide. Yet this is not the first meeting of the two cultures, not their first collision, and not their first confluence. Their respective ancestral cultures in England and Spain, argue scholars Milo Kearney and Manuel Medrano, had common roots in medieval Europe, and both their conflicts and the shared understandings that may form the basis for their cooperation trace back to those days.
Kearney and Medrano explore three interlinking themes. First, they assert that Mexican... The land along the U.S.-Mexican border is often portrayed as the place where two separate cultures meet--or indeed collide. Yet this is not the first ...

ISBN: 9781585445837 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Metaphysical conceptions have always influenced how human societies create the built environment. Mexico--with its rich culture, full of symbol and myth, its beautiful cities, and its evocative ruins--is an excellent place to study the interplay of influences on space and place. In this volume, the authors consider the ideas and views that give the constructed spaces and buildings of Mexico--especially, of Queretaro--their particular ambience. They explore the ways the built world helps people find meaning and establish order for their earthly existence by mirroring their metaphysical...

The History of the Conquest of Mexico & Peru - Volume II
ISBN: 9781596059450 / Angielski / Twarda / 572 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With its vivid language and bold strokes, the magnificent History of the Conquest of Peru, first published in 1847, is one of historian William Prescott's landmark works. A masterly study of Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro's overthrow of the Inca Empire, this astonishing chronicle is considered a classic of Latin American history. Noted for its striking portrayal of the Spanish character, the book rings with a "fusion of courage, cruelty, pride, and gallows humor," says Darnell.

Inherit the Dust from the Four Winds of Revilla
ISBN: 9781599260648 / Angielski / Miękka / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rich in period analysis, here is fascinating historical perspective covering 250 years of existence primarily of a 1750 Spanish settlement originally called "Villa del Senor San Ignacio de Loyola de Revilla" and now known as "Guerrero Viejo." Although many books cover the genealogical aspects of families that originated in this city, the historical contributions of the early pioneers, their descendents, and the controversy related to land grants, called "Porciones" -- awarded by the King of Spain -- have, for the most part, remained in the background. This, then, is the principal objective of...
