Luis de Carvajal

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.

El alma en un sueño

Libro El alma en un sueño

La historia que narro es completamente ficticia, a mi corta edad me falta mucho por conocer del mundo. Por eso narro en el ambiente de ciencia ficción además, este mundo tiene mucho parecido a este, tal vez se enfoque un poco en la realidad que ahora mismo vivimos, pero cada lector deberá interpretarlo a su propia manera. Carecemos de sentimientos buenos, tal vez porque estamos invadidos de tecnología, la era informática que vivimos es buena, pero solo una cierta o poca gente le buen uso y otra cierta cantidad que ni la conoce. Esta historia, estoy seguro que le brindara pequeños...

Espléndida biografía en la que Alfred Einstein plasma la vida humana y artística del prodigioso Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, el músico cuyo genio comenzó a desarrollarse desde los primeros años de su niñez y que su padre, Leopold Mozart, supo alentar.

Cartas de Amor a Mina Loy

Libro Cartas de Amor a Mina Loy

The correspondence in this brief collection tells of journeys, separations, fantasies, and misunderstandings experienced by the colorful Arthur Cravan, all written to his wife Mina Loy prior to his mysterious disappearance in the Gulf of Mexico. The complete and partial letters and postcards are not mere love letters but rather an introduction to a true character who embodied the worries, activities, and audacities of early 20th-century culture. Even though Mina did not love Arthur at first, it is quite apparent in the content of this book that he was completely struck by her immediately. La...
