Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winston Churchill recognized in his memoirs: The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril. His fears would be realized in the Caribbean: By the end of the war, the Germans had sunk four hundred merchant ships in the Caribbean while only losing seventeen U-boats in what was called Operation Neuland. Begun in 1942, the campaign sought to cut the supply lines from the Caribbean to the Allies with the intention of strangling their import-based economies. Colonies of various empires would be left to fend for themselves. Dr. Ligia T. Domenech explores how the campaign hurt the people of the Caribbean, focusing on her native Puerto Rico. Learn about the principal targets of the German U-boats in the Caribbean, the United States reaction to Operation Neuland, the shortage of essential goods, new industries that developed during the war period, and the blockades long-lasting effects. To this day, the public and even most historians dont know about the blockades devastating effects and what it meant to be Imprisoned in the Caribbean.
Download or read book A New World of Animals written by Miguel de Asúa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Early Modern Europeans who during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries travelled to the New World left written or pictorial records of their encounters with a surprising fauna. The story told in this book is woven out of the threads of those texts and pictures. A New World of Animals shows how the initial wonder at the new beasts gave way to a more utilitarian approach, assessing their economic and medical potential. It elucidates how shifts in European perceptions brought the animals from the realm of the fantastic into the mainstream of early modern natural history, while at the same time changing the way in which Europeans saw their own world. Indeed, the chronicles and treatises of those who in the wake of the discovery arrived in the new lands tell as much about the particular interests and mental worlds of the writers as about the 'new animals'. This book traces the amazement of the first explorers and colonizers, the chronicles of soldiers and Indians, the 'natural histories of the New World', the place of animals in the network of economic interests driving the early expansion of Europe, the views of the missionaries and those of natural philosophers and physicians. Taking the reader from the Brazilian forests to the erudite cabinets of the Old World, from Patagonia to the centres of empire, the story of the discovery of the unexpected menagerie of the New World is also an exploration of Early Modern European imagination and learning.

Download or read book Por qu creemos en dios es written by J. Anderson Thomson and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este libro innovador, J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., MD, y Clare Aukofer, ofrecen un estudio completo pero sucinto de cómo y por qué la mente humana genera la creencia religiosa. Dr. Thomson, un psiquiatra muy respetado con credenciales y práctica en psiquiatría forense y psicología evolutiva, investiga metódicamente los componentes y las causas de las creencias religiosas de la misma manera que cualquier científico investigaría el movimiento de los cuerpos celestes o la evolución de la vida a través del tiempo, es decir, como un fenómeno puramente natural. Proporcionando evidencia convincente de la psicología, las neurociencias cognitivas, y otros campos relacionados, él, y la Sra. Aukofer, presentan un caso convincente de fácil acceso y con carácter excepcional que dios (es) fueron creados por el hombre, y no viceversa. Con este libro de bolsillo, el Dr. Thomson se establece como un pensador de lectura obligatoria y la voz líder en la primacía de la razón y de la ciencia sobre la superstición y la religión. In this groundbreaking volume, J. Anderson Thomson Jr., MD, and Clare Aukofer offer a succinct yet comprehensive study of how and why the human mind generates religious belief. Dr. Thomson, a highly respected practicing psychiatrist with credentials in forensic psychiatry and evolutionary psychology, methodically investigates the components and causes of religious belief in the same way any scientist would investigate the movement of astronomical bodies or the evolution of life over time—that is, as a purely natural phenomenon. Providing compelling evidence from psychology, the cognitive neurosciences, and related fields, he, with Ms. Aukofer, presents an easily accessible and exceptionally convincing case that god(s) were created by man—not vice versa. With this slim volume, Dr. Thomson establishes himself as a must-read thinker and leading voice on the primacy of reason and science over superstition and religion.

Download or read book The Body of the Conquistador written by Rebecca Earle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating history explores the dynamic relationship between overseas colonisation and the bodily experience of eating. It reveals the importance of food to the colonial project in Spanish America and reconceptualises the role of European colonial expansion in shaping the emergence of ideas of race during the Age of Discovery. Rebecca Earle shows that anxieties about food were fundamental to Spanish understandings of the new environment they inhabited and their interactions with the native populations of the New World. Settlers wondered whether Europeans could eat New World food, whether Indians could eat European food and what would happen to each if they did. By taking seriously their ideas about food we gain a richer understanding of how settlers understood the physical experience of colonialism and of how they thought about one of the central features of the colonial project. The result is simultaneously a history of food, colonialism and race.
Download or read book Comer written by Patricia Aguirre and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2021 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Es muy curioso el modo en que empleamos las palabras. Hay un diccionario secreto que cada uno guarda en su corazón, como un eco feliz o sombrío de un sonido que encierra significados difíciles de comunicar. Mientras suponemos que hablamos deslizándonos sobre un código compartido, todos guardamos sentidos propios que los demás ignoran. Esta sensible percepción impulsó una serie de encuentros convocados por un verbo: “comer”, “pensar”, “amar”. Se invitó a personas de diversas disciplinas a contar lo que esa palabra significaba para ellas. La experiencia resultó de una intensidad impensada, los significados estallaron, y por algún motivo –o por muchos– el encuentro “Comer” fue uno de los más convocantes y de los más intensos. Patrica Aguirre, Mónica Katz y Matías Bruera hicieron detonar muchas certezas, y así nació este libro. Aquí está la palabra impresa para acceder a ella con la pausa reflexiva que la lectura permite, para volver sobre estas ideas todas las veces que sea necesario. Para el disfrute, pues el pensamiento también es una forma de la belleza. Porque aunque tengamos la sensación de que vivimos atormentados por la estupidez, aún hay personas que pueden sustraerse a la trivialidad imperante, y lectores dispuestos a compartir esa vivencia.
