A comprehensive climbing guide to the mountains of The Andes, from Venezuela to Tierra Del Fuego. It features route descriptions for over 300 peaks with over half illustrated by a photo-diagram and full colour maps.
THE WAY IT WAS draws a picture of the last half century with its craters and peaks there at your fingertips, shared and explored by caring witnesses who took sides all the way through. It was not by chance that someone called out Mazel Tov, Pal, as the news of Francos demise swept through a Paris gallery opening. Their lives touched on the vital chords of our times. The story that emerges is humane, often funny, acute and shaded with grace for they knew they were blessed. To contradict the Chinese proverb, they lived in interesting times and enjoyed every minute. The Way It Was shows the reader how.

Telaraña es una crónica de nuestro tiempo en lo que concierne a unos personajes centrales de ficción que pertenecen a dos generaciones próximas y a un emplazamiento espacial concreto, pero que podría fácilmente ampliarse desde Granada hasta cualquier otra ciudad de un país moderno del primer mundo. Es una panorámica general que abarca conflictos significativos, y muchas veces punzantes -si bien, no en la misma medida para todas las personas- en los que el lector quizá se vea reflejado de alguna manera. Así que vamos a ser partícipes acompañantes de varios miembros de una misma familia que tienen formas dispares de situarse ante los acontecimientos y decidir cómo afrontar los dilemas que se presentan a su paso, e incluso de cómo capotear las embestidas más amenazantes que les acechan en momentos impensados. A medida que discurren los entresijos de la trama nos identificaremos de alguna manera con ellos, les comprenderemos o les denostaremos, les animaremos, compadeceremos o, incluso, les amaremos, siempre viendo un algo de nuestros propios dilemas -de nuestro propio yo- en el espejo de sus noveladas identidades.
The arrival of Spaniards in 1769 served as a defining moment for California’s future. They described the First Peoples and their cultures and provided a window into the evolution of California’s Camino Real. In an effort to establish the Camino Real de California as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Joseph P. Sánchez explores the rich history of the path running from San Diego to San Francisco in this significant study. While records capture the stories and legends of the Camino Real there is little information on the exact ground route. Sánchez utilizes historical and archaeological literature and the documentation from Spanish and Mexican archives to begin the much-needed process of authentication of this braided corridor to further establish the Camino Real de California’s integrity and valuable history, which is shared with Spain, Mexico, and Native American tribes. Their story is part of the patrimony of the Camino Real de California, which ought to be authenticated, preserved, and protected for future generations to enjoy.
