Historical Dictionary of Mesoamerica
Author: Walter Robert Thurmond Witschey
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 081087167X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
Mesoamerica is one of six major areas of the world where humans independently changed their culture from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle into settled communities, cities, and civilization. In addition to China (twice), the Indus Valley, the Fertile Crescent of southwest Asia, Egypt, and Peru, Mesoamerica was home to exciting and irreversible changes in human culture called the "Neolithic Revolution." The changes included domestication of plants and animals, leading to agriculture, husbandry, and eventually sedentary village life. These developments set the stage for the growth of cities, social stratification, craft specialization, warfare, writing, mathematics, and astronomy, or what we call the rise of civilization. These changes forever transformed humankind. The Historical Dictionary of Mesoamerica covers the history of Mesoamerica through a chronology, an introductory essay, an extensive bibliography, and over 900 cross-referenced dictionary entries covering the major peoples, places, ideas, and events related to Mesoamerica. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Mesoamerica.

Grandpa’s Words of Wisdom
Author: Stephen L. DeFelice M.D.
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1546250107
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Old-timer physician, Stephen L. DeFelice, with no holds barred, describes to his grandchildren, Olivia and Stephen Carlos, how they are rapidly crossing the bridge from the traditional world into the cold, controlling world of technology. As a result, we are all surrendering our privacy and freedom to others while, puzzlingly, there are few effective leaders to guide and protect us. This book analyzes what people and governments are really like, the dark side of technology and such subjects as our educational system, the media, our hate epidemic, the sexual revolution, evolution and the anti-God movements as well as ways to adjust to this new, unsettling world of technology. He coined an interesting term, The Internet Democracy, as a major cause behind the dynamics fueling our chaotic technological-based cultural explosion. Dr. DeFelice was born of Italian immigrant parents in 1936 in a home without a television or telephone and has had, firsthand, the unique privilege of personally observing and analyzing the power of increasing technology and its impact on our changing cultural values over four generations, an opportunity that future historians will not have. In 1976 he founded FIM, the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine, whose mission is to accelerate medical discovery, www.fimdefelice.org.
