Descripción del libro

Libro Luis de Carvajal

In 1579 Philip II awarded a large territory in New Spain to a Portuguese man named Luis de Carvajal. That territory included a significant portion of present day Mexico, as well as portions of Texas and New Mexico. This remarkable man discovered, conquered, and settled most of that territory. He also brought a large group of settlers from Spain and Portugal whose impact on its cultural development was very significant. Many of those settlers were of Jewish descent and some of them were tried by the Inquisition for practicing the faith of their ancestors. This book is a biography of Carvajal and is based on documents that were written during his life or soon after his death. The narrative follows him from birth to death and describes the actions he took to give rise to Nuevo Reino de León. These included explorations and discoveries; battles with free Indians; pacifications of Indian uprisings; and legal fights with Crown officials who were determined to eliminate him and to end his government. In the end his enemies defeated him with the help of the Inquisition, but the political entity he gave rise to did not die with him. Samuel Temkin is Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University. He received a PhD in Engineering from Brown University and has been a visiting professor in Chile, Germany, Israel, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Spain. Professor Temkin is the author of "Elements of Acoustics and Suspension Acoustics: An Introduction to the Physics of Suspensions" as well as numerous research articles on Acoustics and Fluid Dynamics, and of many research articles, on the topic of this book. Dr. Temkin was born in Mexico City and was raised in Monterrey, Mexico, the capital city of what once was Nuevo Reino de León.

Libro Emilia Pardo Bazán

Este libro es fruto de un amplio estudio sobre la vida y la obra de Emilia Pardo Bazán, la mujer más importante de la literatura española y figura muy destacada de la cultura europea durante el período histórico que se extiende desde 1868 a 1921. Un período que referido a España se corresponde, casi íntegramente, con el de la Restauración representada por Alfonso XII, regencia de María Cristina y el reinado de Alfonso XIII. Sin olvidar el interesante pórtico del período revolucionario, 1868-1874, tan fecundo en ideas renovadoras como anárquico en realizaciones políticas. La...
