Archaeology of the Rivas Region, Nicaragua
Central America before the Spanish Conquest has often been considered by North American archaeologists as a “backwater” of peripheral importance located between the advanced ancient civilizations of South America and Mesoamerica (Mexican–Maya country). Recent archaeological research has revealed that this area played a much more significant role in New World cultural history than was previously thought. Healy’s study examines the archaeological record of one subarea of Southern Central America, the Rivas region of Pacific Nicaragua. The work gives a detailed analysis of excavations and of artifacts recovered at seven significant prehistoric sites. A critical pioneering effort, the monograph documents cultural changes occurring over a 2,000–year time period—changes in technology, material culture, settlement, subsistence, and socio–political organization.
Portrait of an Unknown Man
"Paul Stewart's translation of Portrait of an Unknown Man, Cipriano de Rivas Cherif's biography of his brother-in-law and friend, introduces to English-speaking readers Manuel Azana, Spain's wartime president whom the Franco regime had treated as a nonperson." "Considered the symbol of the Second Republic in Spain, Azana was the subject of a flood of books and articles in 1990, the fiftieth anniversary of his death. The Spanish Ministry of Culture sponsored a major exhibition honoring Azana as author and statesman, while symposia dedicated to him were held in Barcelona and Montauban, France, where he died after finding uneasy refuge from Franco's armies and Hitler's Gestapo." "The biography also clarifies the complex politics of Spain in the twenties and thirties by focusing on this preeminent politician of that era, and it achieves depth in its portrait by painting the background of three generations of a bourgeois family caught up in dramatically changing times."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
