Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante cinco generaciones, la revista National Geographic ha deslumbrado y educado al público con sus asombrosas fotografías, ilustraciones y apasionantes historias procedentes de todos los rincones del planeta. Inspirado en nuestro monumental La vuelta al mundo en 125 años, este volumen recopila más de 250 imágenes fascinantes procedentes de los archivos de National Geographic. A través de viajes, vida salvaje, ciencia, historia, cultura y conservación, este compendio es un homenaje imponente a las maravillas caleidoscópicas de Asia y Oceanía y un tributo único a la revista fotográfica más famosa del mundo. Organizado por áreas geográficas, Oriente Medio, Sur, Sudeste, Norte y Este de Asia, así como Australia, Nueva Zelanda, Nueva Guinea y Pacífico e Islas del Pacífico Sur, nuestro viaje transcontinental por el tiempo y el espacio se desarrolla a través de evocadoras imágenes en blanco y negro y autocromos, desde la edad dorada del Kodachrome hasta la era digital. A lo largo del camino, recorremos el angosto paso entre las rocas de más de un kilómetro de longitud que conduce hasta la ciudad perdida de Petra; nos rendimos ante la majestuosidad del Taj Mahal; nos acercamos temerariamente a los osos pardos de Kamchatka; descubrimos el “festival del hombre desnudo”, en Japón, en el que los hombres salen de noche a la calle sin apenas ropa, y miramos directamente a los ojos a los tiburones grises que habitan las aguas de las Islas Marshall. Incluye la obra de fotógrafos como Steve McCurry, David Doubile, Jodi Cobb y Frans Lanting. Los lectores descubrirán cómo National Geographic evolucionó desde la visión romántica continental que ofrecía a sus lectores, mucho antes de la llegada de Travel Channel y Google Images, hasta las historias más descarnadas de ciudades superpobladas, las dificultades de la vida en el campo y las amenazas medioambientales. Completado con ejemplos extraordinarios de la venerada fotografía subacuática y de fauna salvaje de la revista, este libro es una ventana al mundo y una inversión cultural que debe ser apreciada y compartida.

Nuestro viaje transcontinental por el tiempo y el espacio se desarrolla por todos los rincones de Europa, desde los picos nevados de Finlandia hasta las espumosas discotecas de Ibiza (España), desde las serenas aguas azules de las islas griegas hasta las pinturas rupestres de Lascaux en el sur de Francia. Somos testigos de la impresionante erupción que formó la isla de Surtsey, en Islandia, con relámpagos tiñendo de sobrenaturales tonos púrpura el penacho volcánico de cenizas; nos perdemos entre flores y cabezas tocadas al estilo de las muñecas matrioshka en el mercado ruso de Volgogrado, y seguimos con todo cuidado los pasos de unos escaladores por el Oberland bernés. Durante esta travesía, absorbemos la cultura de algunas de las ciudades más grandes del mundo, como París, Roma, Berlín, Londres, Viena, Estocolmo, Moscú y muchas otras.National Geographic: Europa no deja piedra por remover en un viaje fundamental por las maravillas y facetas ocultas del continente. Desde evocadoras imágenes en blanco y negro hasta autocromos, desde la edad dorada del Kodachrome hasta la era digital, este volumen es tanto una celebración del poder de la fotografía como un viaje único al alma de Europa.

Download or read book Passing to Am rica written by Thomas A. Abercrombie and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1803 in the colonial South American city of La Plata, Doña Martina Vilvado y Balverde presented herself to church and crown officials to denounce her husband of more than four years, Don Antonio Yta, as a “woman in disguise.” Forced to submit to a medical inspection that revealed a woman’s body, Don Antonio confessed to having been María Yta, but continued to assert his maleness and claimed to have a functional “member” that appeared, he said, when necessary. Passing to América is at once a historical biography and an in-depth examination of the sex/gender complex in an era before “gender” had been divorced from “sex.” The book presents readers with the original court docket, including Don Antonio’s extended confession, in which he tells his life story, and the equally extraordinary biographical sketch offered by Felipa Ybañez of her “son María,” both in English translation and the original Spanish. Thomas A. Abercrombie’s analysis not only grapples with how to understand the sex/gender system within the Spanish Atlantic empire at the turn of the nineteenth century but also explores what Antonio/María and contemporaries can teach us about the complexities of the relationship between sex and gender today. Passing to América brings to light a previously obscure case of gender transgression and puts Don Antonio’s life into its social and historical context in order to explore the meaning of “trans” identity in Spain and its American colonies. This accessible and intriguing study provides new insight into historical and contemporary gender construction that will interest students and scholars of gender studies and colonial Spanish literature and history.

Download or read book Magellan s Voyage Around the World written by Charles Edward Nowell and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “...a fundamental work for anyone who desires both the English version of the story of this path-breaking voyage and an up-to-date evaluation of the scholarly production about the voyage that has appeared during the last four and a half centuries.”—Lewis Hanke, Columbia University Today when men orbit the globe in a few minutes, it is difficult to imagine the awe that accompanied the news of the three years’ voyage completing man’s first circumnavigation of the earth. Wonder and amazement marked the contemporary accounts of Magellan’s hazardous adventure; and now the three best accounts have been gathered into one volume and provided with an introduction and commentary based on the most accurate historical information available by an eminent scholar of Hispanic studies. Included are translations of the accounts by Antonio Pigafetta, one of the eighteen actual survivors of the 241 who undertook the voyage; by the secretary of Emperor Charles V, Maximilian of Transylvania, who wrote a long report based on first-hand accounts to his father, the Cardinal of Salzburg; and by Gaspar Correa, a Portuguese historian, who twenty years later wrote of the voyage mixing fact with fanciful tales of the Far East. Several of the maps prepared for this edition are in the style of the period and represent conceptions of the world as seen by cartographers and navigators at the beginning of the Age of Discovery.
Download or read book Finding Afro Mexico written by Theodore W. Cohen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the Mexican state counted how many of its citizens identified as Afro-Mexican for the first time since independence. Finding Afro-Mexico reveals the transnational interdisciplinary histories that led to this celebrated reformulation of Mexican national identity. It traces the Mexican, African American, and Cuban writers, poets, anthropologists, artists, composers, historians, and archaeologists who integrated Mexican history, culture, and society into the African Diaspora after the Revolution of 1910. Theodore W. Cohen persuasively shows how these intellectuals rejected the nineteenth-century racial paradigms that heralded black disappearance when they made blackness visible first in Mexican culture and then in post-revolutionary society. Drawing from more than twenty different archives across the Americas, this cultural and intellectual history of black visibility, invisibility, and community-formation questions the racial, cultural, and political dimensions of Mexican history and Afro-diasporic thought.
