Healing Like Our Ancestors
Offering a provocative new perspective, Healing Like Our Ancestors examines sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Nahua healers in central Mexico and how their practices have been misconstrued and misunderstood in colonial records. Early colonial Spanish settlers defined, assessed, and admonished Nahua titiçih (healing specialists) and tiçiyotl (healing knowledge) in the process of building a society in Mexico that mirrored Iberia. Nevertheless, Nahua survivance (intergenerational knowledge transfer) has allowed communities to heal like their ancestors through changes and adaptations. Edward Anthony Polanco draws from diverse colonial primary sources, largely in Spanish and Nahuatl (the Nahua...
Antonio Pérez de Hierro, el hijo de Moctezuma que gobernó España en el siglo XVI
Genaro García, Historiador Mexicanista, en su Carácter de la Conquista Española en América y en México dijo: «A pesar de que, entre los historiadores, que desde un principio escribieron acerca de la Conquista, hubo quienes tuvieron a la vista los más fehacientes documentos, solo los aprovecharon en cuanto podían favorecer a los intereses de España...». Pues bien, en esta novela histórica encontrarán casi mil citas a pie de página, con más de 230 libros de bibliografía que, espero, les convenzan de que la Historia entre España y México fue distinta a la que nos contaron malos historiadores. Por suerte, muchos no han creído los cuentos escritos en Las cartas de relación de Hernán Cortés, quien en la Batalla de Centla se apareciera el apóstol Santiago con su caballo blanco y que 400 soldados españoles «conquistaran» a un millón de guerreros mexicanos. Gracias a las lecturas de Genaro García, Cecilio A. Robelo, Ignacio Romerovargas Yturbe, El códice Ramírez y otros textos concluimos que «los otros historiadores mexicanos y españoles» mintieron soezmente a toda una nación. ¡Sapere Aude! ¡Atrévete a saber!

Astronomy from Space
Since the Space Age began a quarter-century ago, astronomers have been able to reach out and often touch celestial bodies that formerly could only be dimly viewed from afar. Probes have flown by or landed on many of the planets. Astronauts have made direct observations from Earth orbit and on the Moon. Most important, a host of satellites in Earth orbit have recorded the emissions of X-ray, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation from distant sources normally invisible beneath the atmosphere. And when the Space Telescope goes aloft, man's vision of the cosmos will be extended further still. The essays in this book describe the results of twenty-five years of space observation, summarize what has...
IMF Programs
IMF lending practices respond to economic conditions but are also sensitive to political-economy variables. Specifically, the sizes and frequencies of loans are influenced by a country's presence at the Fund, as measured by the country's share of quotas and professional staff. IMF lending is also sensitive to a country's political and economic proximity to some major shareholding countries of the IMF -- the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. We measured political proximity by voting patterns in the United Nations and economic proximity by bilateral trading volumes. These results are of considerable interest for their own sake but also provide instrumental variables for estimating the effects of IMF lending on economic performance. Instrumental estimates indicate that the size of IMF lending is insignificantly related to economic growth in the contemporaneous five-year period but has a significantly negative effect in the subsequent five years.
