Sinossi

In "The Winning of the West: From the Alleghanies to the Mississippi, 1777-1783," Theodore Roosevelt masterfully chronicles the early American frontier expansion during a pivotal period in U.S. history. This work combines rigorous historical analysis with vivid storytelling, offering readers a rich tapestry of adventure, struggle, and resilience. Divided into multiple volumes, the book highlights the pivotal role of Western expansion in shaping American identity, meticulously detailing the interplay between Native American tribes, settlers, and the burgeoning American government through an engaging narrative style that interweaves personal anecdotes and historical documents. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States and a passionate advocate for conservation and American nationalism, draws upon his extensive background in history, politics, and his personal experiences in the West to inform his writing. His life's journey'Äîmarked by resilience in his youth and a voracious appetite for adventure'Äîshaped his perspectives on the American spirit and its manifest destiny, providing a unique lens through which he interprets this formative period. "The Winning of the West" is indispensable for readers interested in American history, as it provides not only a historical account but also a philosophical reflection on American values and identity. Roosevelt's evocative prose encourages readers to consider the complexities of westward expansion and its lasting impact on the nation'Äôs fabric.

  • Mesoamerican Astronomy: The History of Celestial Observations Made by the Maya Aztec and Inca - cover

    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.
