Download or read book Caulerpa Conquest written by Eric Noel Muñoz and published by Open Books Press. This book was released on 2016-07-20 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely have global battles in the war on invasive species been successful. Even tougher is fighting a mutant genetic clone of a natural counterpart on a marine coast. The first known Western Hemisphere detection of the invasive seaweed Caulerpa taxifolia occurred in Southern California, at San Diego County's Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad. Caulerpa Conquest is the true story of the 2000 to 2006 precedent-setting local eradication effort inspired by missed opportunities and lessons learned from the Mediterranean Sea. City staff planner, designated agency liaison, lagoon foundation president, and agent for continued creative outreach through 2015, Eric Noel Muñoz connects the dots from local lagoon waters to foreign coastlines, including Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, France, and Monaco.
Download or read book Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest written by Matthew Restall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An update of a popular work that takes on the myths of the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, featuring a new afterword. Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest reveals how the Spanish invasions in the Americas have been conceived and presented, misrepresented and misunderstood, in the five centuries since Columbus first crossed the Atlantic. This book is a unique and provocative synthesis of ideas and themes that were for generations debated or perpetuated without question in academic and popular circles. The 2003 edition became the foundation stone of a scholarly turn since called The New Conquest History. Each of the book's seven chapters describes one myth, or one aspect of the Conquest that has been distorted or misrepresented, examines its roots, and explodes its fallacies and misconceptions. Using a wide array of primary and secondary sources, written in a scholarly but readable style, Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest explains why Columbus did not set out to prove the world was round, the conquistadors were not soldiers, the native Americans did not take them for gods, Cortés did not have a unique vision of conquest procedure, and handfuls of vastly outnumbered Spaniards did not bring down great empires with stunning rapidity. Conquest realities were more complex--and far more fascinating--than conventional histories have related, and they featured a more diverse cast of protagonists-Spanish, Native American, and African. This updated edition of a key event in the history of the Americas critically examines the book's arguments, how they have held up, and why they prompted the rise of a New Conquest History.

Book excerpt: The Crimson Conquest is an adventure tale set in the time of the Spanish conquest of Peru. Though the story has been dramatized to entertain the readers, it is filled with actual figures and events and maintains a high degree of historical accuracy. The author explores the adventures of Francisco Pizzaro, a Spanish conquistador famous for his expeditions that led to the Spanish conquest of Peru. He served as mayor of the newly established Panama City for a few years and embarked on two failed expeditions to Peru. In 1529, Pizarro got permission from the Spanish crown to conquer Peru and went on his third expedition and succeeded in it. When the coast inhabitants opposed this invasion, Pizarro moved inland and found the first Spanish settlement in Peru, San Miguel de Piura. Ultimately, he entered the Inca capital of Cuzco and finished his conquest of Peru.
