Download or read book Bibliography of Natural History Travel Narratives written by Anne S. Troelstra and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Troelstra’s fine bibliography is an outstanding and ground-breaking work. He has provided the academic world with a long-needed bibliographical record of human endeavour in the field of the natural sciences. The travel narratives listed here encompass all aspects of the natural world in every part of the globe, but are especially concerned with its fauna, flora and fossil remains. Such eyewitness accounts have always fascinated their readers, but they were never written solely for entertainment: fragmentary though they often are, these narratives of travel and exploration are of immense importance for our scientific understanding of life on earth, providing us with a window on an ever changing, and often vanishing, natural world. Without such records of the past we could not track, document or understand the significance of changes that are so important for the study of zoogeography. With this book Troelstra gives us a superb overview of natural history travel narratives. The well over four thousand detailed entries, ranging over four centuries and all major western European languages, are drawn from a wide range of sources and include both printed books and periodical contributions. While no subject bibliography by a single author can attain absolute completeness, Troelstra’s work is comprehensive to a truly remarkable degree. The entries are arranged alphabetically by author and chronologically, by the year of first publication, under the author’s name. A brief biography, with the scope and range of their work, is given for each author; every title is set in context, the contents – including illustrations – are described and all known editions and translations are cited. In addition, there is a geographical index that cross refers between authors and the regions visited, and a full list of the bibliographical and biographical sources used in compiling the bibliography.
Download or read book Te Presento a Jesucristo written by Samuel Macadam and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Te Presento a Jesucristo" contiene algunas de las vivencias que el Rev. Samuel MacAdam ha tenido con el Señor Jesús durante gran parte de su carrera ministerial. Han sido escritas como una evidencia de la realidad de la vida cristiana y como un testimonio para aquellos que no conocen a Jesucristo. Pero también para compartir con el creyente de hoy aquellas otras facetas propias de Jesús, que tal vez podrían ser desconocidas para algunos de ellos. Cada una de ellas tiene su propia connotación en la vida del autor, y es su testimonio acerca de la personalidad de JESUCRISTO no pretendiendo establecer un patrón de conducta evangélica como una forma personal.
Download or read book Patagonia a Forgotten Land written by C. A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2006-11-23 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the history of Patagonia from its discovery by Magellan to recent times. Since its early exploration Patagonia has been associated with conditions of extreme hardship and suffering. Men and ships were lost in the dangerous waters of the Straits of Tierra del Fuego, giving rise to tales of mysterious cities populated by the shipwrecked sailors, survivors of the many failed expeditions. Early Spanish attempts to colonize Patagonia ended in failure and the region remained largely uninhabited until the arrival of the Welsh in 1865. Their peaceful coexistence with the natives ended abruptly when the Argentine Army entered Patagonia and took over the Indian lands, which were promptly distributed to new settlers. As a new frontier society, Patagonia could not fail to attract its share of desperadoes and adventurers, the most notorious of whom are described in the book, including gold prospectors, hunters and bandits such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The volume also narrates the anarchist’s struggles that took place in Patagonia at the beginning of the 1900s and the unsuccessful attempt by Perón’s government to convert Argentina into a nuclear power. In the early 1800’s the French traveller and explorer D’Orbigny said, " Perhaps there is no region within the world of which so much has been said, but so little is known." Patagonia is still a largely unknown and uninhabited place, but it does have a rich history as described in this book.

Download or read book Archaeologies of Early Modern Spanish Colonialism written by Sandra Montón-Subías and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeologies of Early Modern Spanish Colonialism illustrates how archaeology contributes to the knowledge of early modern Spanish colonialism and the "first globalization" of the 16th and 17th centuries. Through a range of specific case studies, this book offers a global comparative perspective on colonial processes and colonial situations, and the ways in which they were experienced by the different peoples. But we also focus on marginal “unsuccessful” colonial episodes. Thus, some of the papers deal with very brief colonial events, even “marginal” in some cases, considered “failures” by the Spanish crown or even undertook without their consent. These short events are usually overlooked by traditional historiography, which is why archaeological research is particularly important in these cases, since archaeological remains may be the only type of evidence that stands as proof of these colonial events. At the same time, it critically examines the construction of categories and discourses of colonialism, and questions the ideological underpinnings of the source material required to address such a vast issue. Accordingly, the book strikes a balance between theoretical, methodological and empirical issues, integrated to a lesser or greater extent in most of the chapters.

Download or read book Despu S de La Galerna written by Esteban Casa as Lostal and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tal es la masa heterogénea que conforma y aglutina a los marinos, sea cual sea su nacionalidad, que esa estrecha vinculación con el medio influyó notablemente en la carrera y la personalidad de Esteban Casañas. Para resumir, es un lobo de mar por cuyas venas corre tanto la sangre como el agua salada, cuya forma de pensar, léxico, y manera de actuar, son totalmente las de un marino de la cabeza a los pies. Casañas describe a hombres (y mujeres) y hechos con una narrativa apasionante, bien hilvanada y absolutamente realista. Tanto, que a medida que leemos cada línea nos parece balancearnos en el puente o la cubierta de un barco o ensordecer con la algarabía de un bar portuario entre los aromas del humo de tabaco, los vapores de las bebidas alcohólicas y la presencia de las meretrices locales...
