Book Description
Caral, America's oldest civilization, flourished five thousand years ago along the Peruvian coast. Its principal product, cotton, was the foundation of an economy based on trade with nearby fishermen settlements. Industrious, intelligent and eminently peaceful, the people of Caral did not use war as an instrument of conquest. Instead, their elaborate complex of pyramids and other structures are a shining example of perfect urban planning. The discovery of Caral fascinated and motivated me to write Mother City, a tale in which I've attempted to weave historically accurate information with imaginary details of Carals citizens daily life.

Book Description
Fray Gian Galeazzo Ruspoli, Gran Prior de Pisa, se encuentra en 1188 en Roma, acompañando a su Gran Maestre, Fray Garnier de Naplouse, proveniente de la isla de Chipre, para presentar al Santo Padre Clemente III las reglas del nuevo código de la Orden adaptadas a la trágica pérdida del Hospital de Jerusalén y de las encomiendas en Tierra Santa. Un suceso inesperado y de con-secuencias imprevisibles va a trastocar su estancia. El arzobispo Baldwin de Canterbury, amigo del Gran Maestre y que les acompañó en el viaje por mar desde Pisa, ha sido asesinado y robados los tesoros y las reliquias de incalculable valor que había traído consigo. A los dos hermanos de Justicia de la Orden del Hospital se les encarga la resolución del caso en apariencia sencillo, pues las pruebas acusan claramente a un religioso de su misma orden que ha sido apresado. Sin embargo Gian Galeazzo se resiste a confirmar su culpabilidad porque son muchos los cabos sueltos y demasiados los sospechosos envueltos en una trama en la que se mezclan horrendos crímenes pasados, locos sueños de grandeza y oscuras ambiciones de poder. La saga de El Profeso está compuesta de momento por: El Profeso, Asesinato en el Letrán, Muerte de Profesos, El Profeso en Tíbet y, en preparación: El Profeso y el diablo. El protagonista Gian Galeazzo está inspirado en la extraordinaria figura de Galeazzo Marescotti, héroe de Bolonia y absolutamente retratada en otra de sus novelas históricas, titulada: El Confaloniero.

Book Description
In Venezuelan Stick Fighting: The Civilizing Process in Martial Arts, Michael J. Ryan examines the modern and historical role of the secretive tradition of stick fighting within rural Venezuela. Despite profound political and economic changes from the early twentieth century to the modern day, traditional values, practices, and imaginaries associated with older forms of masculinity and sociality are still valued. Stick, knife, and machete fighting are understood as key means of instilling the values of fortitude and cunning in younger generations. Recommended for scholars of anthropology, social science, gender studies, and Latin American studies.

Book Description
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.
