Book Description
Terrenos chronicles the history of the January 10, 1789 Don Torivio de Otero Spanish land grant at Tubac, New Spain (present day Arizona). It details how Otero family descendants were able to prove their land claim to both the Mexican and United States governments despite Apache depredations, squatters, and multiple court challenges. The Otero land grant was comprised of two parcels of land, the Solar (house lot) located in the town of Tubac, and the Rancho de Otero, a farm and stock ranch located one mile north of Tubac known today as the Tubac Golf Resort & Spa. The Don Torivio de Otero land grant was the first privately-owned permanent title to land in Arizona. Ancient documents reveal Don Torivio was the first recorded lay teacher and built the first recorded Spanish irrigation system during Arizona's Spanish colonial period. Otero family land grant heirs-at-law included Gabriella Otero, known as Sister Clara Otero an inductee to the Arizona Women's Hall of Fame, and Cattle Kings Sabino and Teofilo Otero. Terrenos also provides a brief history of Rancho de Otero ownership through present day, including the establishment of the Tubac Valley County Club under the direction of Chairman of the Board Hollywood legend Bing Crosby. Terrenos further details the purchase of dozens of properties throughout southern Arizona including the Sabino Otero land grant at Baboquivari (Elkhorn Ranch) near Tucson, the Maria Clara Martinez Otero land grant known as El Reventon Ranch (Agua Linda Farms) at Amado, AZ, and private land purchases by Teofilo Otero known as Otero Hall at the Presidio State Historic Park and Museum at Tubac and El Tiradito (Wishing Shrine) at Tucson. Anyone interested in Arizona history and southwest culture would find Terrenos of interest.

Author:
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 9780821342909
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Clearing landmines, rehabilitating and integrating of excombatants, rebuilding the infrastructure, coordinating aid sources—these are just some of the issues confronting the Bank in post-conflict reconstruction. The explosion of civil conflicts in the post-Cold War world has tested the World Bank's ability to address unprecedented devastation of human and social capital.This study covers post-conflict reconstruction in nine countries, assessing relevant, recent Bank experience. It also presents case-studies for ongoing and future operations, which analyze: 1. the Bank's main strengths or comparative advantages; 2. its partnership with other donors, international organizations, and NGOs; 3. its role in reconstruction strategy and damage and needs assessment; 4. its role in rebuilding the economy and institutions of governance; 5. its management of resources and processes; 6. implications for monitoring and evaluation.

The Spanish Coastal Systems
Author: Juan A. Morales
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319931695
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 809
Book Description
This monograph presents the state of art of the geologic knowledge about the Spanish coast obtained through scientific research in the last 30 years.From a general point of view, coasts are the most quickly changing systems of the Earth. This is critical, since many human resources, such as the main part of economic and social activities, are located in the coastal areas. Especially in the case of Spain these coasts include cities, wide industrial areas (including harbor complexes), important ecologic systems, and our main economic resource: tourism. Understanding the dynamic functioning of each element of this coast is vital for correct future coastal management, so as to solve problems derived from bad plans developed in the last decades of the twentieth century. This is a valuable text for advanced graduate students and coastal researchers, which connects the specific dynamic functioning of the main Spanish coastal environments and their relationships with human activities.

Book Description
Following the mass arrival of European immigrants to Argentina in the early years of the twentieth century new forms of entertainment emerged including tango, films, radio and theater. While these forms of culture promoted ethnic integration they also produced a new kind of polarization that helped Juan Peron to build the mass movement that propelled him to power.

A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula
Author: Fernando Cabo Aseguinolaza
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027288399
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 766
Book Description
A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested. Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda. A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.

Archaeology in Latin America
Author: Benjamin Alberti
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134597835
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
This pioneering and comprehensive survey is the first overview of current themes in Latin American archaeology written solely by academics native to the region, and it makes their collected expertise available to an English-speaking audience for the first time. The contributors cover the most significant issues in the archaeology of Latin America, such as the domestication of camelids, the emergence of urban society in Mesoamerica, the frontier of the Inca empire, and the relatively little known archaeology of the Amazon basin. This book draws together key areas of research in Latin American archaeological thought into a coherent whole; no other volume on this area has ever dealt with such a diverse range of subjects, and some of the countries examined have never before been the subject of a regional study.
