Beschreibung

Early Tobacco Cultivation explores the rich history of tobacco, focusing on its central role in pre-Columbian indigenous cultures. Far from being simply a recreational substance, tobacco was deeply embedded in the spiritual, medicinal, and social fabrics of these societies. The book argues that understanding this indigenous relationship is crucial for comprehending tobacco's subsequent global trajectory.

 
The book examines tobacco's botanical origins and early cultivation techniques, highlighting the diverse varieties and their unique properties. It uncovers how tobacco served as a conduit for communication with the spirit world and was integral to indigenous cosmology. It also details the medicinal uses of tobacco, from treating wounds to alleviating pain, revealing a sophisticated understanding of the plant's properties.

 
Through archaeological evidence, ethnobotanical studies, and historical accounts, Early Tobacco Cultivation presents a comprehensive view of tobacco's significance in pre-Columbian America. Structured in three parts, the book progresses from botanical origins to spiritual dimensions and medicinal applications, contrasting indigenous practices with later industrial approaches. Ultimately, this approach provides crucial context for understanding the complex history and far-reaching impacts of tobacco.

The Sun Also Rises

Ernest Hemingway

The debut novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author that is both a tragic love story and a searing group portrait of hapless American expatriates drinking, dancing, and chasing their dreams in postwar Europe. 
“An absorbingly beautiful and tenderly absurd, heart-breaking narrative ... It is a truly gripping story.” —The New York Times 
Ernest Hemingway, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, exerted a lasting influence on fiction in English through his economical prose style that conceals more than it reveals. His first novel, published in 1926, is narrated by world-weary journalist Jake Barnes, who is burdened by a wound acquired in World War I and by his utterly hopeless love for the flamboyantly decadent Lady Brett Ashley. The Sun Also Rises tracks the Lost Generation of the 1920s from the nightclubs of Paris to the bullfighting arenas of Spain

Exodus from the Alamo - The...

Philip Thomas Tucker

"Contrary to movie and legend, we now know that the defenders of the Alamo in the war for Texan independence—including Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William B. Travis—did not die under brilliant sunlight, defending their positions against hordes of Mexican infantry. Instead, the Mexicans launched a predawn attack, surmounting the walls in darkness, forcing a wild melee inside the fort before many of its defenders had even awoken. In this book, Dr. Tucker, after deep research into recently discovered Mexican accounts and forensic evidence, informs us that the traditional myth of the Alamo is even more off-base: most of the Alamo’s defenders died in breakouts from the fort, cut down by Santa Anna’s cavalry that was positioned to intercept the escapees. A number of the Alamo’s defenders did hang on inside the fort, fighting back every way they could, but most of the Texans, in two groups, broke out of the fort after the enemy had broken in, and the primary fights took place on the plain outside. Still fighting desperately, the Texans’ retreat was halted by cavalry, and afterward, Mexican lancers plied their trade with charges into the midst of the remaining resisters. Notoriously, Santa Anna burned the bodies of the Texans who had dared stand against him. But as this book proves in thorough detail, the funeral pyres were well outside the fort—where the two separate groups of escapees fell on the plain, rather than in the Alamo itself. "
