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 Occidente conquistó el mundo ... y empezó a perderlo

"Hace veinte años, cuando se publicó la primera edición de este libro, se celebraba en todo el mundo el final del segundo milenio. Se trata, claro está, de una pura convención, fijada arbitrariamente y con varios siglos de retraso por los reformadores cristianos del calendario para hacer coincidir el año uno (aproximadamente) con la fecha del nacimiento de Cristo. Una convención, pues, que en teoría no afecta a las tres cuartas partes de la humanidad que utilizan calendarios distintos: chinos, indios, todo el Islam. Pero que sí los afecta en la práctica. Porque la práctica de este...
