Book Description
Las descripciones más antiguas sobre las piedras de las que tenemos constancia provienen del mundo helénico, romano y egipcio. En algunos casos son simples descripciones sobre los metales, combustibles y gemas. En otros se trata de recetas con las que se intenta, sobre todo, falsificar los metales preciosos y las gemas más valoradas. Aristóteles ya intentó clasificarlos en dos grandes clases: la de los fósiles (oryktá) y de los metales (metalleuta) formados, según él, por dos exhalaciones. Detrás de todas estas descripciones se esconden teorías sobre el origen del mundo, de la materia y de los misterios. La civilización evoluciona junto con el conocimiento de la materia, de la naturaleza inerte que nos rodea. Fulgencio Martínez es un médico estudioso del mundo clásico y su trabajo recoge la información que nuestros antepasados nos dejaron escrita para la mejor comprensión de nuestro mundo.

Book Description
"In 2009, Perú was the world's leading producer of silver, the world's second leading producer of copper, and the leading producer of gold in Latin America. However, Perú's role as a producer of metals extends for centuries into the past. Mining and Metallurgy in Ancient Perú documents the use of minerals, metals, and mineral resources in ancient Perú for pigments, industrial stone, and the aesthetic and artistic use of gold, silver, copper, and platinum. The tools and methods used for mining, as well as ancient mining sites in the extensive Andean region, are described here, as are metallurgical techniques and fabrication procedures. The volume also provides forward-thinking analytical data on metals, artifacts, and alloys. A detailed pyrite mirror, featured on the cover of the book, symbolizes the spectacular workmanship and blending of utilitarian craft and mineral resources in ancient Perú."--Publisher's description.

Book Description
Mesoamerican communities past and present are characterized by their strong inclination toward color and their expert use of the natural environment to create dyes and paints. In pre-Hispanic times, skin was among the preferred surfaces on which to apply coloring materials. Archaeological research and historical and iconographic evidence show that, in Mesoamerica, the human body—alive or dead—received various treatments and procedures for coloring it. Painting the Skin brings together exciting research on painted skins in Mesoamerica. Chapters explore the materiality, uses, and cultural meanings of the colors applied to a multitude of skins, including bodies, codices made of hide and vegetal paper, and even building “skins.” Contributors offer physicochemical analysis and compare compositions, manufactures, and attached meanings of pigments and colorants across various social and symbolic contexts and registers. They also compare these Mesoamerican colors with those used in other ancient cultures from both the Old and New Worlds. This cross-cultural perspective reveals crucial similarities and differences in the way cultures have painted on skins of all types. Examining color in Mesoamerica broadens understandings of Native religious systems and world views. Tracing the path of color use and meaning from pre-Columbian times to the present allows for the study of the preparation, meanings, social uses, and thousand-year origins of the coloring materials used by today’s Indigenous peoples.
