"Two exquisite arches . . . formed a canopy over a fluted shell supported by a pair of Persian caryatids. Beneath the shell, the Image of the Virgin of Guadalupe rested on her canopied throne. Steps covered in silk descended from the throne, and pennants of colored taffeta embellished the ensemble . . . . On the bottom step leading up to the throne knelt an exquisite young girl clad in indigenous finery who symbolized all of America, and, even more so, these Septentrional Provinces, called Anahuac in pagan days. Her hands bore a heart--the heart of all--and an incensory that dispensed fragrances and sweet aromas." So writes the preeminent seventeenth-century Mexican intellectual, Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora, in Glories of Queretaro (1680) of a float the Indians contributed to the festival inaugurating a church that honored the Virgin of Guadalupe. Glories of Queretaro (1680) chronicles the arduous process of founding the Ecclesiastical Congregation of Queretaro, which became colonial Mexico's second most important church dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe after the shrine in Tepeyac. Yet Glories is more than a chronicle--it holds keys to an era. In Siguenza's text, readers will find dynamic articulations of the spiritual, political, and cultural issues that to a significant extent drove colonial Mexico and even the Hispanic New World in general. Beyond the theology and cult to the Virgin of Guadalupe, they include: full-bodied accounts of New World festivals, the indigenous past and present, creole patriotism and cultural nationalism, colonial cities, evangelization, the tangles of New World religious and civil politics, and some touches of colonial satire. Queretaro itself holds particular interest as a contact zone and exceptionally multicultural city in which Indians and creoles lived side by side. Glories of Queretaro is the first critical edition, the first translation into any language of the text (the translation omits a few minor chapters), and only the second of Siguenza's works to be published in English. Geared to non-specialists, especially students, and to scholars alike, the edition aims to render Siguenza's extremely rich, intensely Baroque chronicle as alive and comprehensible as possible to English-speaking readers. Therefore, the volume has three parts: 1. the "Introduction: Glories of The Glories of Queretaro (1680)," a spirited guide to the cardinal topics, such as the Virgin of Guadalupe, that Glories treats, as well as to Siguenza's writings and agendas; 2. the translation and edition of the text, with notes that elucidate the terminology, references, and other potentially unfamiliar matters that so strikingly characterize Glories; 3. the "Afterword: Siguenza y Gongora's Cameos of Queretaro," an analysis of Queretaro and its representation in Glories. The volume also features original photographs of the church that Glorias chronicles, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stephanie Merrim is Royce Family Professor of Comparative Literature and Hispanic Studies at Brown University. Her The Spectacular City, Mexico, and Colonial Hispanic Literary Culture was awarded the 2011 MLA Katherine Singer Kovacs Prize for an outstanding work in Hispanic Studies.

If Adamski and the six companions who swore an affidavit to his Space Man encounter are not trying to pull off a gigantic hoax, then this is quite possibly the greatest story ever." That was what the Daily Sketch wrote about" Flying Saucers Have Landed." For, in the second part of this book, Adamski swears that he saw a space ship land in the desert in California and that he made contact with one of its occupants. More, he provides considerable testimony to support his claims. Desmond Leslie, who contributes the first part of the book, goes even further, asserting that flying saucers have been landing on earth for thousands of years, and gives records of their arrivals

Jews and Judaism played a significant role in the history of the expansion of Europe to the west as well as in the history of the economic, social, and religious development of the New World. They played an important role in the discovery, colonization, and eventually exploitation of the resources of the New World. Alone among the European peoples who came to the Americas in the colonial period, Jews were dispersed throughout the hemisphere; indeed, they were the only cohesive European ethnic or religious group that lived under both Catholic and Protestant regimes, which makes their study particularly fruitful from a comparative perspective. As distinguished from other religious or ethnic minorities, the Jewish struggle was not only against an overpowering and fierce nature but also against the political regimes that ruled over the various colonies of the Americas and often looked unfavorably upon the establishment and tleration of Jewish communities in their own territory. Jews managed to survive and occasionally to flourish against all odds, and their history in the Americas is one of the more fascinating chapters in the early modern history of European expansion.

Renzo Piano is one of the world’s greatest living architects and creator of a host of iconic modern buildings, including the Pompidou in Paris, the Menil Collection in Texas, Kansai Airport in Japan, the Shard in London and the new Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Written and created in collaboration with the Piano Foundation in Genoa, this richly illustrated volume covers the early work as well as the most recent designs, making a complete survey of his career to date. Starting with his beginnings with the Pompidou Centre in the 1970s (in collaboration with Richard Rogers) the story continues up to construction of one of his latest works, a spectacular new bridge in Genoa in 2020. The book explores all of the studio’s main projects: the public spaces and museums, airports, theatres, and libraries. As well as giving unique insights into the creative process of Piano himself, the book includes numerous unpublished designs and photographs. In the process the book reveals Piano’s unique way of handling light and space, as well as his particular attention to the social implications of the profession of architect and the relationship of buildings to their urban environment and landscape.
