On February 27, 1763, thousands of slaves in the Dutch colony of Berbice - in present-day Guyana - launched a massive rebellion that came amazingly close to succeeding. Surrounded by jungle and savannah, the revolutionaries (many of them African-born) and Europeans struck and parried for an entire year. In the end, the Dutch prevailed because of one unique advantage - their ability to get soldiers and supplies from neighboring colonies and from Europe. Blood on the River is the explosive story of this little-known revolution, one that almost changed the face of the Americas.

From ancient Muisca rituals to colonial soundscapes, from humble campesino kitchens to the explosive rise of Jorge Velosa and the carranguero movement, Elena Caro masterfully uncovers the living story of a genre that once had no name—and became a national treasure.

Me ha correspondido el honor de ofrecer al público lector varias obras ligadas a la historia, la geografía y las tradiciones de esta tierra. De igual modo he dedicado a Bailadores varios textos de ficción que se enmarcan e inspiran en su tierra y su gente. Otros investigadores han aportado de igual modo sus trabajos para ir conformando toda una ...

Humans living in a dark, flooded world without sunlight - that’s what the gods of the Incas found upon their arrival. They terraformed waterlogged Earth to make it habitable again and built golden cities along the western half of South America connected by 25,000 miles of Inca road. Inca legends match the biblical Genesis but with incredible detail that tells a much fuller story. Creation did not involve making the sun and moon, and Earth out of nothing - it reworked what was already here.

The Galápagos archipelago is often viewed as a last foothold of pristine nature. For 60 years, conservationists have worked to restore this evolutionary Eden after centuries of exploitation at the hands of pirates, whalers, and island settlers. This book tells the story of the islands' namesakes - the giant tortoises - as coveted food sources, objects of natural history, and famous icons of conservation and tourism. By doing so, it brings into stark relief the paradoxical, and impossible, goal of conserving species by trying to restore a past state of prehistoric evolution.

He aquí Bailadores y lo que mucha gente ha dicho de él y, claro está, lo que muchos han hecho en él. Es un viaje imaginario en el tiempo, un regreso al pasado que puede hacerse desde una butaca y en el que escudriñamos el diario de una comarca testigo de pequeños y grandes hechos que se presentan, las más de las veces, en forma de cuadros o estampas que ilustran momentos de la cotidianidad y que en conjunto recrean, en cierto modo, una imagen particular del gentilicio villorro. “Estampas del Bailadores de antaño” es la otra cara de un trabajo que publicamos en el año 2001 ...
