Breve historia de la lengua espanola: Spanish edition

$30.00  $27.92

Spanish is the fourth most widely spoken language in the world and a language of ever-increasing importance in the United States. In what will likely become the introduction to the history of the Spanish language, David Pharies clearly and concisely charts the evolution of Spanish from its Indo-European roots to its present form. An internationally recognized expert on the history and development of this language, Pharies brings to his subject a precise sense of what students of Spanish linguistics need to know. After introductory chapters on what it means to study the history of a language, the concept of linguistic change, and the nature of language families, Pharies traces the development of Spanish from its Latin roots, all with the minimum amount of technical language possible. In the core sections of the book, readers are treated to an engaging and remarkably succinct presentation of the genealogy and development of the language, including accounts of the structures and peculiarities of Latin, the historical and cultural events that deeply influenced the shaping of the language, the nature of Medieval Spanish, the language myths that have become attached to Spanish, and the development of the language beyond the Iberian Peninsula, especially in the Americas. Focusing on the most important facets of the language?s evolution, this compact work makes the history of Spanish accessible to anyone with a knowledge of Spanish and a readiness to grasp basic linguistic concepts. Available in both English and Spanish editions, A Brief History of the Spanish Language provides a truly outstanding introduction to the exciting story of one of the world?s great languages.

Steam Coffin: Captain Moses Rogers and The Steamship Savannah Break the Barrier

$35.00  $31.50

For millennia, humans well-knew that there was a force far more powerful than they upon the Earth, and that was Nature itself. They could only dream of overcoming its power, or try to believe in the myths and fables of others who supposedly had done so. Then, at the dawn of the 19th century, along came a brilliant, creative, controversial American by the name of Robert Fulton. In the late summer of 1807, he ran his experimental steamboat? from New York City to Albany, not once, but repeatedly. With these continuing commercial trips, Fulton showed that it was possible to alter artificially both a person?s location and the amount of time it took to change it. In so doing, he also broke through an enormous psychological barrier that had existed in people?s minds; it was, in fact, possible to overcome Nature to practical effect. But running these steamboats on rivers, lakes and bays was one thing. Taking such a vessel on a voyage across the ocean was a different proposition altogether. Experienced mariners didn't think it could be done. These early steamboats were just too flimsy and unwieldy to withstand the dangers of the deep. Yet there was at least one man who believed otherwise. His name was Captain Moses Rogers. He set out to design a steam vessel that was capable of overcoming the vicissitudes of the sea. This craft would be not a steamboat, but a steamship, the first of its kind. Finding a crew for such a new-fangled contraption proved to be exceedingly difficult. Mariners conditioned as they were to knowing the ropes? of a sailing ship looked upon this new vessel, and its unnatural means of propulsion, with the greatest suspicion. To them, it was not a "Steam Ship" instead, it was a "Steam Coffin. [Read more]

Historia Augusta, Volume I (Loeb Classical Library No. 139)

$24.00  $22.80

The Scriptores Historiae Augustae, or Historia Augusta, is a collection of biographies of Roman emperors, heirs, and claimants from Hadrian to Numerianus (117? 284 CE ). The work, which is modeled on Suetonius, purports to be written by six different authors and quotes documents and public records extensively. Since we possess no continuous account of the emperors of the second and third centuries, the Historia Augusta has naturally attracted keen attention. In the last century it has also generated the gravest suspicions. Present opinion holds that the whole is the work of a single author (who lived in the time of Theodosius) and contains much that is plagiarism and even downright forgery.

Comprometida: Una historia de amor / Committed: A Love Story (Spanish Edition)

$18.99  $14.78

At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who'd been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both were survivors of previous divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the United States government, which after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving into this topic completely, trying with all her might to discover through historical research, interviews, and much personal reflection what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. Told with Gilbert's trademark wit, intelligence and compassion, Committed attempts to turn on all the lights when it comes to matrimony, frankly examining questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family tradition, social expectations, divorce risks and humbling responsibilities. Gilbert's memoir is ultimately a clear eyed celebration of love with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails. Elizabeth Gilbert presenta en este libro una reflexion profunda sobre el amor, la esperanza y la ilusion de empezar de nuevo. Con el tono intimo y cordial que la caracteriza, la autora ofrece paginas conmovedoras en las que una mujer expresa con firmeza y gran sensibilidad las cosas que le apasionan y la manera en que se entrega por un ideal; Comprometida comparte las reflexiones de una mujer dispuesta a retomar sus fantasias y hacer de su entrega un homenaje al amor, al gran carino a si misma y a los seres que la rodean; el libro es, ante todo, una comprobacion de que los suenos si pueden hacerse realidad.

The History of the Britons: Historia Brittonum (Forgotten Books)

$6.71

The Historia Brittonum, or The History of the Britons, is a historical work that was first written sometime shortly after AD 833, and exists in several recensions of varying difference. (A recension is a critical revision of a text, i.e. different editors have worked upon the text to produce various versions). It purports to relate the history of the Brythonic inhabitants of Britain from earliest times, and this text has been used to write a history of both Wales and England, for want of more reliable sources. Nennius is traditionally named as the author of the text, though this interpretation is questioned. (Quote from wikipedia. org) About the Author Nennius (768 - 809) Nennius, or Nemnivus, is either of two shadowy personages traditionally associated with the history of Wales. The better known of the two is Nennius, the student of Elvodugus. Elvodugus is commonly identified with the bishop Elfoddw of Gwynedd, who convinced the rest of the Welsh portion of Celtic Christianity to celebrate Easter on the same date as the other Catholics in Britain in 768, and is later stated by the Annales Cambriae to have died in 809. This Nennius is traditionally stated as having lived in the early 9th century, and is identified in one group of manuscripts of the Historia Britonum as the author of that work. The careful scholarship of professor David N. Dumville on this text has instead shown that the manuscripts that make this claim come from an exemplar dating to the later eleventh century, far later than the exemplars of other versions of this manuscript - as well as over two hundred years after this Nennius is supposed to have lived. However, a number of historians still refer to the author of either the original text of the Historia Brittonum, or this specific recension, as Nennius, or pseudo-Ne [Read more]

Fidel y Raul, mis hermanos. La historia secreta (Spanish Edition)

$19.99  $17.99

Ten years ago, Juanita Castro set down to write her memoirs, and thanks to the fortunate coincidence that I was both her friend and a journalist, we began working on them together. When we finished in 1999, Juanita decided not to publish them, and for the past ten years we kept this book the first one I had written a secret. Surprisingly, Juanita chose this year, 2009, to bear her soul in an extraordinary journey through the triumphs and tragedies of her life and, consequently, the events that have shaped the lives of millions of people during the past fifty years. This is the first-hand testimony of a person who, from the moment of her birth, was connected by the deepest bond to two of the most notable political figures of contemporary Latin American history: Fidel and Raul Castro, her brothers. It is, therefore, the most intimate and accurate analysis any person can do of their own kin: mother, father, grandparents, and brothers, the famous and those that chose to stay out of the limelight. It is the account of a woman that severed all ties, a woman that in 1964 joined the Cuban exile in the United States. It is a story for Cubans and non-Cubans alike the story Juanita Castro owed each and every one of us; a story that had not been told until today. Maria Antonieta Collins Spanish Description: Hace diez anos Juanita Castro se decidio a escribir sus memorias y gracias a una doble y fortuita coincidencia: ser su amiga y ser periodista, fue que comenzamos a trabajar en ellas. Al terminarlas en 1999, simplemente decidio no publicarlas, y a lo largo de la decada, ambas compartimos el secreto de guardar el libro, -el primero que yo habia escrito. Sorpresivamente, en este 2009 decidio abrir su alma en un extraordinario recorrido por el triunfo y la tragedia de su vida, y por ende, en los acontecimientos que han marcado las vidas de millones en los ultimos cincuenta anos. Esta es una gran historia para cubanos y para quienes no lo son. Es el testimonio contado en primera persona, por alguien que estuvo desde que naciera, junto a dos de los personajes politicos de la historia contemporanea de America Latina: sus hermanos Fidel y Raul. Es por lo tanto una radiografia la mas cercana y fidedigna- que alguien pudiera hacer de los suyos: de su madre, de su padre, de los abuelos y de todos los hermanos incluyendo los famosos y los que decidieron no serlo. Es el recuento de la mujer que rompio con todo, y quien en 1964 vino a vivir al exilio cubano en los Estados Uni... [Read more]

Memorias de dos hijos: La historia tras bastidores de un padre, dos hijos y un asesinato escandaloso (Spanish Edition)

$13.99

En Memorias de dos hijos, uno de los maestros de la Biblia m s queridos de Estados Unidos le hace profundizar en Lucas 15 como nunca nadie lo ha hecho, revelando apreciaciones perspicaces de la cultura de la poca de Jes s con un desenlace inolvidable. La par bola del hijo pr digo (Lucas 15.11-32) se ha predicado desde casi todos los p lpitos del mundo y es conocida por muchos que leen y aprecian la Biblia. La historia es muy poderosa porque representa, en t rminos claros e inspiradores, nuestra lucha con el pecado, la necesidad de arrepentimiento humilde y la inagotable misericordia y amor del Padre. Lamentablemente, muchos cristianos dir an que no tienen nada nuevo que aprender de esta joya de las Escrituras. Ha perdido su brillo. Pero en Memorias de dos hijos, John MacArthur restaura el resplandor de este pasaje, ofreciendo un fascinante trasfondo hist rico y revelando un sorprendente final que los lectores nunca han o do antes.
