Cerro Gordo

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

Libro Aquellos hombres grises

El profesor Browning, uno de los más reconocidos historiadores del nazismo y el mayor especialista del Holocausto, se enfrenta en esta obra a una pregunta tan estremecedora como interesante: ¿Cómo fue posible que una unidad formada por profesionales alemanes de clase media, el Batallón 101, se convirtiera en un grupo de asesinos despiadados capaces de semejante atrocidad. Mediante la minuciosa reconstrucción de la historia de esos hombres grises y de los interrogatorios a que fueron sometidos doscientos de ello en la década de 1960, Browning nos ofrece más temas de reflexión acerca...
