Enlightened Nightscapes
This volume brings together eleven case studies that address how the night became visible in the long and global eighteenth century through different mediums and in different geographical contexts. Situated on the eve of the introduction of artificial lighting, the long eighteenth century has much to say about night’s darkness and brilliance. The eighteenth century has been bound up epistemologically with images of light, reason, and order. Night and day, light and darkness, reason and mystery, however, are not necessarily at odds in the eighteenth century. In their analysis of narratives, poetry, urban spaces, music, the visual arts, and geological phenomena, the essays provide various fr...
Language Contact and Change in Mesoamerica and Beyond
Language-contact phenomena in Mesoamerica and adjacent regions present an exciting field for research that has the potential to significantly contribute to our understanding of language contact and the role that it plays in language change. This volume presents and analyzes fresh empirical data from living and/or extinct Mesoamerican languages (from the Mayan, Uto-Aztecan, Totonac-Tepehuan and Otomanguean groups), neighboring non-Mesoamerican languages (Apachean, Arawakan, Andean languages), as well as Spanish. Language-contact effects in these diverse languages and language groups are typically analyzed by different subfields of linguistics that do not necessarily interact with one another. It is hoped that this volume, which contains works from different scholarly traditions that represent a variety of approaches to the study of language contact, will contribute to the lessening of this compartmentalization. The volume is relevant to researchers of language contact and contact-induced change and to anyone interested both in the historical development and present features of indigenous languages of the Americas and Latin American Spanish.

New Mexico
Every book has a history of its own and New Mexico: A Brief Multi-History could be considered one of the mini-sagas worthy of inclusion in this comprehensive chronology of people, places, and events that begins with precontact inhabitants of the Southwest. The more than four hundred years of recorded history includes information on all the groups living in our New Mexico, the oldest European colony in what is today the USA, and is "the way history should be written." Enriched by many illustrations, this inclusive Multi-History is the most comprehensive single volume available for the New Mexican sagas of "ordinary and extraordinary people, places, and events" from 1598 to the present. The general reader, history buffs, students, and scholars alike will be empowered by this ". . . basic resource for New Mexico and the Southwest" because of its panorama of "cultural and historical events, profile biographies, and penetrating comparative analysis . . . a timeless triumph."
The Days of My Life - Color
The days of my life began by a decision of God. I was not born either by a decision of mine, or by a one of my parents, since they did not know me until the moment I was born. - After this moment, the days of my life continued within a family that surrounded me with much love and made me a member of the Catholic Church through a Christian Baptism. - I became later a member also of the Augustinian Recollect Order that enriched the days of my life with an excellent academic and spiritual life. - There, I was prepared me with great care and dedication to become a priest and give the rest o of the days of my life to the service of the people of God. - And, one day, the Pope called me to the Episcopacy and I received the Sacred Order to shepherd the people of God as a Bishop of the Church in this last stage of my life. Lord, may your holy will be done! - The days of my life will continue to pass until my Lord will tell me one day: David, come!
