The Florida of the Inca
“Great endurances and deeds were surviving treasures for the soul that marched with DeSoto, and this book is their richest storehouse.” –The New York Times Book Review Perhaps the most amazing thing of all about Garcilaso de la Vega’s epic account of the De Soto expedition is the fact that, although it is easily the first great classic of American history, it had never before received a complete or otherwise adequate English translation in the 346 years which have elapsed since its publication in Spanish. Now the Inca’s thrilling narrative comes into its own in the English-speaking world. Hernando de Soto’s expedition for the conquest of North America was the most ambitious ever ...
Los medios digitales ante la crisis humanitaria
Hoy en día los medios de comunicación deben desempeñar una función social al servicio del público al que se dirigen, especialmente durante los sucesos de gran impacto, como las crisis humanitarias y las catástrofes. Durante este período de desequilibrio social, la propagación de imágenes, videos e información engañosa se intensifica y provoca una falsa ilusión de verdad y realidad, coadyuvando a que la calidad de la información sea sacrificada por la inmediatez y el consumo masivo (Toledano y Ardevól-Abreu, 2013). Bajo esta premisa, estudiantes de la carrera de Comunicación de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Ecuador han realizado el siguiente trabajo titulado “Informe N°1 del Observatorio Internacional sobre los Medios Digitales ante las Crisis Humanitaria”, con el objetivo de analizar y verificar los acontecimientos más relevantes sobre las crisis humanitarias alrededor del mundo y la implicación de los medios en su impacto. Se debe igualmente mencionar que este primer informe forma parte de un proyecto de investigación elaborado por los grupos de investigación Gamelab-UPS y el grupo Comunicación, Educación y Ambiente (GICEA).
The De Soto Chronicles Vol 2
“For those interested in De Soto and his expedition, these volumes are an absolute necessity.” —The Hispanic American Historical Review The De Soto expedition was the first major encounter of Europeans with indigenous North Americans in the eastern half of the United States. De Soto and his army of over 600 men, including 200 cavalry, spent four years traveling through what is now Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. The De Soto Chronicles Volume 1 and Volume 2 present for the first time all four primary accounts of the De Soto expedition together in English translation. The four primary accounts are generally refe...
The De Soto Chronicles Vol 1 & 2
1993 Choice Outstanding Academic Book, sponsored by Choice Magazine. The De Soto expedition was the first major encounter of Europeans with North American Indians in the eastern half of the United States. De Soto and his army of over 600 men, including 200 cavalry, spent four years traveling through what is now Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. For anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians the surviving De Soto chronicles are valued for the unique ethnological information they contain. These documents, available here in a two volume set, are the only detailed eyewitness records of the most advanced native civilization in North America—the Mississippian culture—a culture that vanished in the wake of European contact.
Indian Captivity in Spanish America
Even before the arrival of Europeans to the Americas, the practice of taking captives was widespread among Native Americans. Indians took captives for many reasons: to replace--by adoption--tribal members who had been lost in battle, to use as barter for needed material goods, to use as slaves, or to use for reproductive purposes. From the legendary story of John Smith's captivity in the Virginia Colony to the wildly successful narratives of New England colonists taken captive by local Indians, the genre of the captivity narrative is well known among historians and students of early American literature. Not so for Hispanic America. Fernando Operé redresses this oversight, offering the first...
Short-term Effect of Fertilization and the Long-term Effect of Soil Organic Management History and Its Relationship to Above-ground Insect Suppression
One way farmers manipulate pest pressure in organic farming is through soil fertility management. Effects of soil fertility practices include both, the immediate and short-term changes in plant nutrient availability, as well as more long-term effects on soil community structure and function. Despite evidence suggesting that the application of compost has both, long-term and short-term effects on pest suppression, few attempts had been made to assess the impact of both factors on tomato susceptibility to Spodoptera exigua, beet armyworm (BAW), performance. This study has two specific objectives: 1) investigate the short-term effect of compost fertilization and the long-term effect of soil org...
