"This is a history of precious-metals extractivism as lived in Cerro de San Pedro, a small gold- and silver-mining district in Mexico. Chronicling Cerro de San Pedro's operations from the time of the Spanish conquest to the present, Daviken Studnicki-Gizbert transcends standard narratives of boom and bust to envision a multicentury series of mining cycles, first operated under Spanish rule, then by North American industry, and today in the post-NAFTA world of transnational capitalism. The depletion of a mine did not mark the end of its life, it turns out"--

El abrigo de Telarmachay está ubicado en los Andes centrales del Perú (departamento de Junín) a una altura de 4420 m s.n.m., en la puna. Los trabajos de excavación, de 1975 a 1980, estuvieron a cargo de un grupo de prehistoriadores franceses y estudiantes peruanos, bajo la dirección de Danièle Lavallée. Las excavaciones, realizadas con el método del decapado por niveles naturales (19 pasadas en total), sobre una superficie de 35 m2, evidenciaron 7 niveles de ocupación sucesivas, cada una de ellas caracterizada por un modo específico de acondicionamiento y utilización del abrigo. La ocupación empieza alrededor de 9000 BP y prosigue casi sin interrupción hasta 2000 BP aproximadamente. A partir de 34 fechados 14C se estableció la cronología siguiente: Fase VII, ca. 9000-7200 BP; Fase VI, ca. 7200-6800 BP; Fase V inf., 6800-5700 BP; Fase V sup., ca. 5700-5000 BP; Fase IV, ca. 5000/4500-3800 BP; Fase III, ca. 3800-2800 BP; Fase II, ca. 2800-2000 BP; (Fase 1, nivel superficial). Una excepcional riqueza en vestigios faunísticos permitió demostrar, por primera vez en los Andes, la existencia de un proceso de domesticación in situ de los camélidos andinos desde 6000-5500 BP aproximadamente: entre 9000 y 7200 BP se practica una caza generalizada de los ongulados (camélidos y cérvidos) que evoluciona , entre 7200 y 6000 BP, hacia una caza especializada de las vicuñas y de los guanacos; entre 6000 y 5500 BP aparecen los primeros animales domesticados, de tipo alpaca y, por fin, después de 5500 BP, el pastoreo de animales completamente domesticados (alpacas y, en proporción menor, llamas). Los análisis arqueozoológicos permitieron también determinar que la ocupación del abrigo fue estacional y tenía lugar entre diciembre y abril. Las otras categorías de vestigios (herramientas y desechos líticos, instrumentos de huesos) fueron analizados morfológica y morfométricamente, lo que permitió percibir su evolución cronológica. Por otra parte, se realizaron varios estudios…

Delving beneath Southern California's popular image as a sunny frontier of leisure and ease, this book tells the dynamic story of the life and labor of Los Angeles's large working class. In a sweeping narrative that takes into account more than a century of labor history, John H. M. Laslett acknowledges the advantages Southern California's climate, open spaces, and bucolic character offered to generations of newcomers. At the same time, he demonstrates that-in terms of wages, hours, and conditions of work-L.A. differed very little from America's other industrial cities. Both fast-paced and sophisticated, Sunshine Was Never Enough shows how labor in all its guises-blue and white collar, industrial, agricultural, and high tech-shaped the neighborhoods, economic policies, racial attitudes, and class perceptions of the City of Angels. Laslett explains how, until the 1930's, many of L.A.'s workers were under the thumb of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association. This conservative organization kept wages low, suppressed trade unions, and made L.A. into the open shop capital of America. By contrast now, at a time when the AFL-CIO is at its lowest ebb-a young generation of Mexican and African American organizers has infused the L.A. movement with renewed strength. These stories of the men and women who pumped oil, loaded ships in San Pedro harbor, built movie sets, assembled aircraft, and in more recent times cleaned hotels and washed cars is a little-known but vital part of Los Angeles history.

""A narrative of the restoration of the mission church at Acoma Pueblo and the process behind it, in which New Mexico's most famous architect, John Gaw Meem, played a major role"--Provided by publisher"-- " Built by Spanish Franciscan missionaries in the seventeenth century, the magnificent mission church at Acoma Pueblo in west-central New Mexico is the oldest and largest intact adobe structure in North America. But in the 1920's, in danger of becoming a ruin, the building was restored in a cooperative effort among Acoma Pueblo, which owned the structure, and other interested parties. Kate Wingert-Playdon's narrative of the restoration and the process behind it is the only detailed account of this milestone example of historic preservation, in which New Mexico's most famous architect, John Gaw Meem, played a major role.
