Synopsis

Aztec Empire explores the captivating ascent and dramatic collapse of the Aztec civilization in Mesoamerica. The book analyzes how a relatively obscure group rose to dominate the Valley of Mexico, building the impressive city of Tenochtitlan and establishing a complex society fueled by a powerful military and a sophisticated tribute system. Intriguingly, the Aztecs adapted and innovated upon the cultural and political foundations laid by earlier civilizations like the Olmec and Maya.

 
The book argues that the Aztec's expansion, driven by military dominance and economic strategies, ultimately became unsustainable due to internal issues and the arrival of the Spanish. The book examines the Aztec's military prowess, economic strategies, and the impact of the Spanish Conquest, providing a holistic view of their society.

 
It challenges simplistic narratives of conquest by emphasizing the complex interplay of factors that led to the empire's demise. Using archaeological evidence, codices, and Aztec and Spanish accounts, the book traces the Aztecs' origins, analyzes the structure of their military and tribute system, and examines the siege of Tenochtitlan.

 
The final chapter explores the enduring legacy of the Aztec Empire.

Making an American Family - A...

Janet Rodriguez

Making an American Family: A Recipe in Five Generations is the progressive story of one family, told through five generations, beginning with their journey into the United States during the Mexican Revolution, and culminating with their posterity, attending school online during the COVID19 pandemic. A family memoir, told through a chorus of voices, invites the reader into the multi-sensorial experience of memory and story. The price of “becoming American” in the USA proved to be high, but did the family think it was worth it? With passion and precision, Rodriguez serves the reader a family feast of memories, the perfect recipe for making an American family."Part memoir, part oral history, and part personal exploration on the part of a bi-ethnic woman who never felt Mexican enough, Making an American Family is a love letter to those who have gone, and a prayer for those still to come." ~Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of Mona at Sea."Janet Rodriguez has poured her whole heart—all her love, all her longing, all her questions, all her tremendous talent—into this beautiful, delicious, deeply moving exploration of family and culture and home, investigating what is lost through assimilation, what is gained when family sticks together." ~Gayle Brandeis, author of Many Restless Concerns, and The Art of Misdiagnosis.“Canta, no llores...Sing, don't cry,” a wonderful, old Mexican song, describes this amazing family memoir. Janet Rodriguez follows her family's line to five generations, including family trees, recipes from her ancestors, and the most marvelous photos. And los cuentos, the stories, bring each generation to la vida on the page- MUCHAS BRAVAS, el amor, el canto song has been passed on." ~Alma Luz Villanueva, author of Song of The Golden Scorpion (novel), and Gracias (poetry)

Great Zimbabwe - Stone Cities...

Rolf Hedger

The rise of Great Zimbabwe was shaped by geography, economic opportunities, and social organization, allowing it to become one of Africa’s most influential civilizations. Emerging around the 9th century, the settlement developed into a thriving political and economic center by the 11th century, reaching its peak between the 13th and 15th centuries. Its growth was fueled by abundant natural resources, a strategic location, and participation in regional and international trade.
The Zimbabwean plateau, with its fertile soil and favorable climate, provided ideal conditions for agriculture. The Shona people, who founded Great Zimbabwe, cultivated sorghum and millet, which sustained the growing population. In addition to farming, cattle herding played a crucial role in the economy. Cattle were a measure of wealth and social status, serving as currency in trade and marriage negotiations. The presence of large herds further reinforced the power of the elite, who controlled access to grazing lands and water sources.
Beyond agriculture, Great Zimbabwe’s location made it a key player in long-distance trade. The city was situated between the goldfields of southern Africa and the coastal trade hubs of the Swahili city-states. Gold mining became a major economic activity, with miners extracting the metal from riverbeds and underground deposits. This gold was traded with merchants from Kilwa, Sofala, and other Swahili ports, where it was exchanged for luxury goods such as Persian ceramics, Chinese porcelain, and Indian textiles. The wealth generated from trade allowed Great Zimbabwe to expand, attracting artisans, traders, and skilled laborers.
