Durango

Sinopsis del Libro

The storied town of Durango is situated on the farmlands of the Ancestral Puebloans, which later became the hunting grounds for the Southern Utes, in the Animas River Valley of southwestern Colorado. Founded in 1880 as the headquarters of the Silverton branch of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, Durango became the supply depot for gold and silver mines up and down the Western Slope. One of the few old-time cowboy towns in Colorado that retains the vibrancy of a self-supporting downtown of hotels, restaurants, and retail businesses, Durango has worked actively to restore and remodel historic buildings. Enhanced by stories of Spanish explorers, miners, settlers, early entrepreneurs, and the desperadoes of Western lore as well as Hollywood myth, Durango has earned a reputation as one of the Rocky Mountains' favorite travel destinations.

Historia del mundo en 12 mapas

Un recorrido por la historia a partir de doce mapas fundamentales. Desde la Antigüedad, los mapas han sido fundamentales a la hora de conformar nuestra visión del mundo y nuestro lugar en él. Pero lejos de ser objetos meramente científicos, los mapas del mundo son inevitablemente ideológicos y subjetivos, y están estrechamente relacionados con los sistemas de poder y autoridad de épocas y lugares concretos. En esta estimulante obra, Jerry Brotton examina la importancia de doce mapas, desde las representaciones místicas de la historia antigua hasta las imágenes vía satélite de la...
