HAVANA'S HISTORY AT A GLANCE: San Cristóbal de La Habana was founded in 1519. The city began as a small collection of huts that eventually became the Spanish Empire's main naval station in the world. La Habana became a thriving, entrepreneurial port, the Caribbean's lighthouse-city, within the colonial Spanish Caribbean, due to its excellent harbor and strategic position facing the Gulf Stream. In 1553, Havana became the island's capital. In the 16th century and beginning of the 17th the city was attacked and besieged on several occasions by French, British and Dutch pirates, which catalyzed the construction of defenses, including massive walls. Its occupation by the British in 1762 led to Havana being exchanged for Florida, an indication of the high value the King of Spain placed on it. The King ordered the reinforcement of its fortifications to the highest possible level. Havana thus became the best protected of the ports in Spanish America. By 1810 the Spanish Main was imploding, and Havana ceased to be a must-stop trading post. Cuba remained part of Spain until 1898, perhaps because of its amazing wealth, its siege fortress tradition and extreme militarization. The country's destiny after 1898 was closely linked to the United States. As the largest of the islands in continental proximity between the subtropics and the tropics, and between English and Spanish America, Cuba was surrounded and affected by different socio-political trends. All this adds exoticism to Havana's urban culture. Its architecture includes buildings of great visual and cultural impact: Castillo del Morro (Morro Castle), Palacio del Segundo Cabo (Palace of the Second Corporal), Palacio de los Capitanes Generales (Captains-General Palace) or the Capitolio (Capitol Building). Havana, the "Paris of the Caribbean," was destined to become a place of refuge, a creative, hospitable, open and cosmopolitan city. As sweat turned into stone and mortar, a local way life, open to the world, became the distinguished trait of Habaneros as good hosts. On its flagpoles would wave proudly the flags of Spain, Britain, the U.S., and finally, Cuba. The sense of Cuban nationality was built around the concept of Havana, as presaged by the mass conducted at the site called El Templete in 1519. Perhaps more than a nationality, what the old stones of Havana exude is global universality.

This is the most complete and thorough biography of Jose Raul Capablanca, one of the greatest players in the history of chess. Beginning with his family background, birth, childhood and introduction to the game in Cuba, it examines his life and play as a young man; follows his evolution as a player and rise to prominence, first as challenger and then world champion; his loss of the title to Alekhine and his efforts to recapture the championship in the last years of his too-short life. What emerges is a portrait of a complex man with far-ranging interests and concerns, in stark contrast to his robotic reputation as "the chess machine." Meticulously researched, utilizing many sources available only in Capablanca's home country, it puts truth to legend regarding a man who stood astride the chess world in of its most dynamic and dramatic eras. Numerous games and diagrams complement the text, as do a wealth of photographs.

Jesuits established a large number of astronomical, geophysical and meteorological observatories during the 17th and 18th centuries and again during the 19th and 20th centuries throughout the world. The history of these observatories has never been published in a complete form. Many early European astronomical observatories were established in Jesuit colleges. During the 17th and 18th centuries Jesuits were the first western scientists to enter into contact with China and India. It was through them that western astronomy was first introduced in these countries. They made early astronomical observations in India and China and they directed for 150 years the Imperial Observatory of Beijing. In the 19th and 20th centuries a new set of observatories were established. Besides astronomy these now included meteorology and geophysics. Jesuits established some of the earliest observatories in Africa, South America and the Far East. Jesuit observatories constitute an often forgotten chapter of the history of these sciences.
