Hardcover. Zustand: New. A reprint edition with a new foreword by Matthew J. Williams. The Birds of Indiana is a treasure-trove for ornithologists, casual birders, and art-lovers everywhere. Drawing on decades of field work and data collection and featuring the paintings of one of America's finest bird artists, this classic work is an introduction, a reference, and most importantly, a natural history of Indiana's birds, including over 390 species. Authors Russell E. Mumford and Charles E. Keller provide detailed information on each species, including the bird's past and current status, the timing of migrations, the density and location of populations month by month, and the influence of habitat. Indispensable for the text alone, the paintings by William Zimmerman, one of America's greatest bird artists, make the book a collector's item that will be admired and appreciated for centuries. With a scientist's eye and a craftsman's skill, Zimmerman brings each of the 165 birds that nests in the state to life in lavish detail. Readers can almost feel the feathers - and the life force beneath them - in his birds. Each intricate painting reveals the plumage (including both male and female when there are significant differences), the nest and eggs, background habitat, and in many cases a wildflower or two. <P>A work of art as well as science, The Birds of Indiana belongs in any and every collection of bird books. No ornithologist or casual birder - expert or beginner - in Indiana, the Midwest, or the eastern United States can afford to be without it.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Spain built the largest empire the world had ever seen. Then it tried to conquer North America - and failed. This is that story, and most Americans have never heard it.Ambition and Avarice: The Spanish Imperialistic Attempt to Conquer the USA begins where the empire began - with the secret marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella in 1469, the unification of Spain, and the Reconquista ideology that would drive Spanish expansion for two centuries. It ends with the exhausted remnants of a colonial project that spent over 150 years attempting to replicate in North America the staggering wealth it had extracted from the Aztec and Inca empires - and found only dust, hostile terrain, and Indigenous peoples who refused to disappear.In between is a history that should be taught in every American school and almost never is.The book moves from the Caribbean crucible - where the mechanisms of Spanish conquest were first perfected on the Taíno people of Hispaniola - to the long, brutal march northward into the continent. Hernán Cortés and the fall of the Aztec Empire. Francisco Pizarro and the silver mountain at Potosí that funded a century of imperial ambition. Hernando de Soto's devastating march through the American Southeast. Francisco Vásquez de Coronado's obsessive search for the mythical Seven Cities of Cíbola across the American Southwest. The founding of New Mexico, Texas, and California - not as colonies of opportunity but as defensive buffers to keep rival empires at bay.And then the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 - when the Indigenous peoples of New Mexico expelled every Spanish colonist from their territory in a single coordinated uprising, the most successful Indigenous revolt against European colonization in North American history.The men who have been romanticized throughout history as bold explorers were, in documented fact, architects of systematic brutality operating within a machine designed to extract maximum wealth at minimum cost to the Crown. This book does not look away from that record. It also does not reduce the Indigenous peoples, the enslaved Africans brought to replace exterminated populations, or the colonists themselves to background scenery in someone else's story.This is the Spanish Empire in North America on its own terms - a system born from ambition, sustained by avarice, and ultimately defeated by the reality that no amount of imperial will could turn strategic wastelands into profitable colonies.Available in paperback, Elektronisches Buch, and audiobook in English and Spanish.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Cuba should be the Gem of the Caribbean. It has the people, the location, the culture, and the potential. What it has never had - not for a single generation in five centuries - is the genuine freedom to pursue its own destiny.Cuba - In the Grip of Empires: It Began with the Spanish Crown is the story of how that happened. Beginning with Columbus dropping anchor off the northeastern coast of Cuba in October 1492 and ending with the island's current crisis, it traces an unbroken five-hundred-year pattern: one empire's grip becoming another empire's leash, the names changing while the extraction continues.Each chapter is anchored by a single person whose decisions shaped Cuba's trajectory. Columbus, who claimed the island for Spain without understanding what he had found. Hatuey, the Taíno cacique from Hispaniola who fled Spanish brutality to Cuba, warned the island's people what was coming, and was burned at the stake for refusing to convert. Jacques de Sores, the French pirate who sacked and burned Havana in 1555 and forced Spain to finally take its most valuable Caribbean possession seriously. The Earl of Albemarle, who led the British siege of Havana in 1762 - one of the largest amphibious operations in history - and held the city for eleven months before trading it back to Spain for Florida. José Martí, Cuba's greatest literary and revolutionary figure, who spent decades in exile building the intellectual case for independence and died in the first skirmish of the war he organized. And El Morro - the fortress that watched it all - as the final narrator of a story that has not yet ended.Following each narrative chapter is a section called History Beyond the Story - timeline verification, source documentation, and historiographical debate that separates documented fact from reasonable inference, for readers who want to dig deeper or verify the record.The author walked the streets of Havana in September 2025 before finishing this book. What he found was a population of extraordinary resilience living under the weight of a pattern established five centuries ago and never truly broken - only transferred from one set of hands to another.Cuba libre has been the cry for 170 years. This book explains why it has not yet been answered.Available in paperback, Elektronisches Buch, and audiobook in English and Spanish.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 1607, English settlers landed at Jamestown and history books called it the beginning of America. But the real story starts much earlier - and it belongs to the wrong empire.Struggle for Survival: The Origins of the Thirteen Colonies traces the full arc of how America's founding colonies came to exist, beginning not with the Pilgrims or the Virginia Company but with the Spanish and Portuguese empires that first divided the Western world between them and the European powers that followed in their wake. Before the first English settler drove a stake into American soil, three empires had already competed, failed, and left their mark on the continent - shaping the political, economic, and geographic conditions that made the thirteen colonies both possible and necessary.Each colony gets its own chapter. Each chapter tells the story of the people, the money, the religion, and the raw survival instinct that drove ordinary men and women to risk everything on an ocean crossing to build something from nothing in a land that had no intention of welcoming them. Virginia's tobacco gamble. Massachusetts and the religious desperation of the Puritans. The Dutch foothold in New York that England simply took. The Quaker experiment in Pennsylvania. The buffer colony of Georgia, founded not by dreamers but by a general who needed a military barrier between British Carolina and Spanish Florida.The book begins where the story actually begins - with the Age of Exploration, the navigational technology that made transoceanic voyages possible, the treaties that divided the world between Spain and Portugal, and the economic pressures that sent England, France, and the Netherlands scrambling for whatever was left. It ends with thirteen distinct colonies that somehow, despite every reason not to, became the foundation of a nation.This is American colonial history as it actually happened - not a myth of Pilgrims and destiny, but a hard, contested, often brutal story of survival, ambition, and accident.Available in paperback, Elektronisches Buch, and audiobook.…
