Sinopse

"Mexico City Tales" explores the multifaceted history of Mexico City, revealing its evolution from the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan to the vibrant metropolis it is today. The book uniquely blends historical analysis with cultural insights, offering a comprehensive understanding of how the city's past shapes its present. Readers discover how the Spanish conquest transformed the urban landscape and the development of distinct Mexican cultural expressions. The narrative emphasizes the city's role as a living embodiment of Mexico's negotiation between its indigenous roots, colonial past, and future aspirations, providing context to its complex identity.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the pre-Columbian Aztec Empire and its intricate social structures. It then examines the impact of Spanish colonialism on the city's architecture and social fabric, highlighting the resulting cultural and religious syncretism. Finally, it analyzes modern Mexico City's development as a cultural center, showcasing its artistic movements and political activism. By incorporating oral histories, "Mexico City Tales" offers a nuanced portrait of the city, making it valuable for those interested in Mexican history, urban studies, and Latin American culture.

    In Scoring Position - 40 Years...

    Bob Ryan has scored every baseball game he's attended, at every level, since the start of the 1977 season. It's a deeply personal tradition still going strong at more than 1,400 games and counting. The tattered scorebooks he's filled are worn from age, travel, and countless summer days, but their grids and scrawled symbols tell the stories of milestones, rivalries, rare historic achievements, and more. In Scoring Position captures the incomparable spirit of baseball, with its infinite possibilities and madcap anomalies. Ryan, alongside baseball historian and statistician Bill Chuck, has scoured his scorecard archives for the most singular events—a switch-hitter being hit by a pitch from both sides of the plate in the same game; a player batting for the cycle off four different pitchers; even back-to-back pinch-hit home runs with two outs in the 9th. Featuring some of the game's biggest names and wildest scenarios, this is a fascinating romp through baseball history, exuding a pure zeal for this sport that fans of all teams will recognize in themselves.
