Beschreibung

In "Shout Treason: The Trial of Aaron Burr," Francis F. Beirne delves into the tumultuous political landscape of early 19th-century America by chronicling the sensational trial of former Vice President Aaron Burr. Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, Beirne skillfully depicts the intricate web of treason, political rivalry, and personal ambition that characterized Burr's life and the larger historical context of post-Revolutionary America. The book's literary style reflects a blend of historical biography and legal drama, providing readers with a rich tapestry of courtroom theatrics and the chilling atmosphere surrounding national intrigue. Francis F. Beirne, a historian with a focus on American politics and legal history, utilizes his profound understanding of the socio-political context to illuminate Burr's motivations and the stakes of his trial. Beirne is particularly keen on how notions of loyalty and betrayal evolved during a formative period in U.S. history. His deep exploration of Burr'Äôs character not only reveals the man behind the myth but also critiques the nascent American political system and its fragile democracy. "Shout Treason" is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, legal studies, or political ethics. Beirne'Äôs compelling narrative captivates with its vivid detail and profound insight, making it an invaluable resource for both scholars and general readers seeking to understand the complexities of a pivotal moment in the American legal and political landscape.

    Gregory Weeks's Embracing Autonomy departs from other general treatments of Latin American-US relations not by putting US policy aside but by bringing in the Latin American and global contexts more closely and thus avoiding the incomplete picture provided by a narrow focus solely on the policies of the United States. 
     
     
     
    The core of autonomy for Latin America from the United States is seen in new, deeper, and more numerous relationships that do not include the United States. The book is not a study of rebellion against the United States, or even a critique of US policy. Instead, it is an examination of the major shifts that have taken place in the region in recent decades and how they have shaped Latin American-US relations. 
     
     
     
    Weeks's book provides a clearer understanding of where Latin America stands vis-à-vis the United States in the early twenty-first century. In doing so, we gain a better sense of the trajectory of Latin American-US relations and how they develop in turbulent times.

    For the Maya, astronomy was not a purely scientific pursuit but intimately linked to religious, mythological, and ideological elements that were of the highest importance. The celestial realm held a sacred nature, as did the many gods and goddesses that dwelt there, so for all Mesoamerican cultures, astronomy was a fundamental part of their everyday lives. Thus, astronomy was present in their calendars, religion, and even agriculture, and in close relation to astronomy, the concept of time was also an essential part of their worldview.  
    The Aztec recorded many of the astronomical events they observed in codices and hieroglyphic inscriptions, but the main evidence of their deep astronomical knowledge comes from their calendar system. This information was then used to plan the orientation of buildings and ceremonial centers, which were aligned to sunrises or sunsets corresponding to special dates, such as solstices or equinoxes. Observational calendars were also used to schedule agricultural activities, as well as rituals, festivals, and celebrations. 
    Though the Spanish physically conquered them in quick fashion, the culture and legacy of the Inca Empire has continued to endure throughout the centuries in both Europe and South America, due in no small part to the fact they were one of the most advanced and sophisticated cultures on the continent. The sun was the main element present in the Inca worldview, so Inti, the sun god, was worshipped above all others and, even though the different parts of the empire were allowed to practice their individual beliefs, they were encouraged to venerate the sun. The connection with the sun even extended to their kings since they were considered to be the sons of the sun. Naturally, this meant astronomy was a key component of the Incas’ beliefs, and in addition to the sun, the Inca observed the moon, stars, constellations, and some planets, all of which became integral parts of their cosmology.
