Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gypsying Through Central America: With Photographs by Norman Hartman My chronicle is the unvarnished account of our gypsying. In much briefer form it appeared serially in The Wide World Magazine last year, and some isolated incidents have been treated in short articles for various newspapers and magazines during the past fifteen months. That my Opinion of the natives of the Five Republics will be in part disagreed with by others who know these lands is undoubted. But the story of our experiences may throw additional light upon peoples and countries often treated as opem boufie.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The States of South America, 1920: Land of Opportunity, a Complete Geographical, Descriptive, Economic and Commercial Survey The fact that the Republic of Guatemala is the most important State of Central America, and the probable federation of the States of the Isthmus, have made the inclusion of a description of this country and its resources, together with an account of the first steps taken towards the union of all the adjoining Republics, seem not only advisable but necessary in order to give a clear account of the conditions and trend of events in Central America, which is slowly following the same line of pro gress as South America, and is but another indi cation of the general prosperity of the great States of this continent.

Download or read book Mapping Latin America written by Jordana Dym and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many, a map is nothing more than a tool used to determine the location or distribution of something—a country, a city, or a natural resource. But maps reveal much more: to really read a map means to examine what it shows and what it doesn’t, and to ask who made it, why, and for whom. The contributors to this new volume ask these sorts of questions about maps of Latin America, and in doing so illuminate the ways cartography has helped to shape this region from the Rio Grande to Patagonia. In Mapping Latin America,Jordana Dym and Karl Offen bring together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine and interpret more than five centuries of Latin American maps.Individual chapters take on maps of every size and scale and from a wide variety of mapmakers—from the hand-drawn maps of Native Americans, to those by famed explorers such as Alexander von Humboldt, to those produced in today’s newspapers and magazines for the general public. The maps collected here, and the interpretations that accompany them, provide an excellent source to help readers better understand how Latin American countries, regions, provinces, and municipalities came to be defined, measured, organized, occupied, settled, disputed, and understood—that is, how they came to have specific meanings to specific people at specific moments in time. The first book to deal with the broad sweep of mapping activities across Latin America, this lavishly illustrated volume will be required reading for students and scholars of geography and Latin American history, and anyone interested in understanding the significance of maps in human cultures and societies.

Download or read book The New Latin America (Classic Reprint) written by Jacob Warshaw and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Latin America The average American of these United States who remembers his geography may know that America was discovered by an Italian from Spain, that tobacco is grown in Cuba and coffee in Brazil, that the Amazon is the largest river in the world, that the forests of those regions are full of tapirs, jaguars and boa constrictors, that the condor of the Andes is one of the largest birds, that cattle abound on the pampas of Argentina, and that revolutions are endemic in Mexico and Central America; but he would have trouble in carrying on a conversation of ten minutes about Latin America, and the writing of a thousand-word essay on the subject would drive him to despair. To such a person Dr. Warshaw's admirable book should come as a revelation, expanding his intellectual horizon, mitigating his provincialism and his Anglo-Saxon prejudice, and teaching him to recognize and appreciate the truly remarkable achievements of Latin-American civilization. It is, indeed, surprising to find urban conditions in Latin America so similar to those of the United States, although in every part of the civilized world they seem to be conforming to certain types. Buenos Aires, for example, is a great seaport comparable to any of our own, with the usual ships, wharfs, railway terminals, derricks, flying cranes, grain elevators, packing plants, stores, office buildings, magnificent streets, electric lights, trolleys, motor ears, hotels, banks, churches, schools, hospitals, art galleries, newspapers, theaters, movies, and all the other conventional equipment of a modern metropolis.

C Your horses and mules are somewhat under size. This defect comes from breeding in and in. The introduction Of some new blood would remedy this and bring up the standard to quite a degree of perfection for notwithstanding the smallness of the horse he is very strong and Spirited and capable of great feats of endurance, thus exhibiting qualities admirable to build on. Your cattle, too, sufler from the same cause. These, however, are of better grade than the average Western cattle, and far more beau tiful in form. The vast expanse of splendid grass-lands over which I traveled and upon which I Saw no herds, depressed me. The valleys, with their perpetual verdure, wide-spreading trees, and crystal streams Should have been studded with herds of fat cattle, and the hillsides with flocks of Sheep and long-haired goats. The abundance and fine quality Of native grasses and the number and ample size of the streams of sweet, pure water render the country remarkably well suited to grazing purposes. A mistaken idea concerning the healthfulness of all of the Central American countries exists among a large class of my countrymen. Where the climate is SO uniform (never excess ively hot), where' drainage is so perfect, and where pure water so abundant, disease cannot prevail. Nowhere have I seen healthier people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fair America Bears, he said, came down into the water, and laying about them with their paws to the right and the left, captured as many fish as they could devour. To these entirely satisfactory meals the captain ascribed his own safety and that of his men. The bears really could not eat any more. He said, too, that the people of the country caught enormous quantities of the fish in nets (he had with him to confirm his statements specimens of the native nets) or even in great baskets weighted with stones. These baskets they let down in the water and lifted again brimming with fish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Motivated by potentially turning Flushing Meadows, literally a land of refuse, into his greatest public park, Robert Moses—New York's "Master Builder"—brought the World's Fair to the Big Apple for 1964 and '65. Though considered a financial failure, the 1964-65 World' s Fair was a Sixties flashpoint in areas from politics to pop culture, technology to urban planning, and civil rights to violent crime. In an epic narrative, the New York Times bestseller Tomorrow-Land shows the astonishing pivots taken by New York City, America, and the world during the Fair. It fetched Disney's empire from California and Michelangelo's La Pieta from Europe; and displayed flickers of innovation from Ford, GM, and NASA—from undersea and outerspace colonies to personal computers. It housed the controversial work of Warhol (until Governor Rockefeller had it removed); and lured Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. Meanwhile, the Fair—and its house band, Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians—sat in the musical shadows of the Beatles and Bob Dylan, who changed rock-and-roll right there in Queens. And as Southern civil rights efforts turned deadly, and violent protests also occurred in and around the Fair, Harlem-based Malcolm X predicted a frightening future of inner-city racial conflict. World's Fairs have always been collisions of eras, cultures, nations, technologies, ideas, and art. But the trippy, turbulent, Technicolor, Disney, corporate, and often misguided 1964-65 Fair was truly exceptional.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Latin-American History It may be that proper appreciation of the existing mutual dependence can arrive only through the strengthening of the economic bonds already created. A study of our commercial relations With Latin America shows that the two Americas are essentially inter - dependent. For that reason, a considerable portion of the accompanying syllabus has been devoted to such considerations, in the hope that through the study of this prae tical basis of inter-american relations there may arise a Pan American consciousness of common aims and interests, to which this little book is sincerely dedicated.
