Book excerpt: En su nueva producción literaria, Sotomayor, el escritor Francisco (Paquito) López (Maricao, Puerto Rico; 1945) se enfrenta a uno de los sucesos más impactantes de los primeros años de la colonización de Borinquén: el ahogamiento de Diego Salcedo por parte de un grupo de taínos comandados por el cacique Urayoán y la consiguiente revelación de que los españoles no eran inmortales. Este suceso sirvió para que los taínos se convencieran de que luchar contra la opresión por parte de los conquistadores españoles no era una empresa fútil. El levantamiento por parte de los taínos contra la explotación española terminó de manera trágica; es decir, con la total eliminación de los nativos en pocas décadas. Cinco siglos más tarde, la amada Borinquén de los taínos sigue sujeta al poderío, aparentemente omnipotente, de otro invasor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Island of Porto Rico: Its Population, Civil Government, Commerce, Industries, Productions, Roads, Tariff, and Currency, With Recommendations The climate is tropical, but not torrid. Though the heat is con tinuous, it is not extreme. The thermometer rarely rises to The highest monthly average on record in nine years in San Juan was 86° (in June, The hottest day in that period gave a tempera ture of but there was only one such day. The temperature is equable, and rises or falls through a very limited range. The highest point reached by the thermometer in San Juan in the period from November, 1898, to July, 1899, inclusive, was the -month of June. This was for one day only, and on no other day of that month did the temperature exceed The lowest range in the same period was The winter season extends from October or November to March, inclusive. No really Oppressive weather was seen in the capi tal during those months in 1898 - 99. Showers came frequently, but were of short duration and were mostly at night. Every day the unfailing trade winds blow from the east or southeast, making the air delightfully fresh. The nights are cool and comfortable. The sum mer season is marked by a slight increase in the average temperature, much more rain, and a great deal of humidity. The continuity of the heat and the unfavorable conditions for evaporation of perspiration make the climate somewhat enervating. San Juan has an elevation of only about 100 feet. In the mountains the higher elevations dimin ish the amount of heat, and Aibonito, Cayey, and Utuado are con sidered as remarkably cool cities. Occasionally the island is visited by a disastrous hurricane. The first record of one of these tropical terrors was in July, 1515. They come at irregular intervals and with varying degrees Of force. The most Violent storm the island ever knew, according to history, was in August, 1772, when houses were demolished, trees uprooted, planta tions flooded, and many people killed. In September, 1806, there was another visitation of less destructiveness, and still another in September, 1819. The latter was followed by a famine. The hurri cane of October, 1867, was very severe. In August, 1886, the south coast was ravaged and the coffee plantations in the southwest snfiered severely. The last furious storm occurred August 8, 1899, and was terribly destructive, particularly on the eastern and southern coasts and in the interior. Humacao was well-nigh destroyed; Yabucoa, in the beautiful valley of the same name south of Humacao, was a heap Of ruins, and but little was left of the old town and port of Arroyo. The damages at Ponce and at the port of Ponce, on the south, were extremely heavy. The streets were swept by a flood and many houses were torn from their foundations. The crops of coffee and cane were quite generally destroyed in the east, in the south, and in the interior, and orange and other fruit trees were uprooted or stripped by the vio lence of the wind. Arecibo, on the north coast, directly across the island from Ponce, also suffered great injuries. Between and persons lost their lives, and the destruction of live stock was very great. The fall of rain was enormous, amounting to inches at Juana Diaz, north of Ponce, in twenty-four hours. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Ancestral Images by : Stephanie Moser
Download or read book Ancestral Images written by Stephanie Moser and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pictorial reconstructions of ancient human ancestors have twin purposes: to make sense of shared ancestry and to bring prehistory to life. Stephanie Moser analyzes the close relationship between representations of the past and theories about human evolution, showing how this relationship existed even before a scientific understanding of human origins developed. How did mythological, religious, and historically inspired visions of the past, in existence for centuries, shape this understanding? Moser treats images as primary documents, and her book is lavishly illustrated with engravings, paintings, photographs, and reconstructions. In surveying the iconography of prehistory, Moser explores visions of human creation from their origins in classical, early Christian, and medieval periods through traditions of representation initiated in the Renaissance. She looks closely at the first scientific reconstructions of the nineteenth century, which dramatized and made comprehensible the Darwinian theory of human descent from apes. She considers, as well, the impact of reconstructions on popular literature in Europe and North America, showing that early visualizations of prehistory retained a firm hold on the imagination—a hold that archaeologists and anthropologists have found difficult to shake.
Book Synopsis The Transition to Statehood in the New World by : Grant D. Jones
Download or read book The Transition to Statehood in the New World written by Grant D. Jones and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-12-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1982 collection of eight original anthropological essays provides an exciting synthesis of theory and practice in one of the key issues of contemporary cultural evolutionary thought. The contributors ask why complex, highly stratified societies emerged at several locations in the New World at the same point in prehistory. Focusing primarily on the initial centers of civilization in Mesoamerica and the Andean region, they consider the sociopolitical, environmental and ideological factors in state formation. The essays discuss the prehistoric conditions and processes that simulated the development of the first state-level societies in Mesoamerica and Peru, and explore the difficulties archaeologists must face in their direct analysis of physical remains. In general, the contributors recognize a growing need for better archaeological solutions to the question of state origin and for more sensitivity to the problems as well as to the possibilities of ethnographic analogy.
