Description:
The arrival of Europeans in the Americas brought with it a
demographic catastrophe of vast proportions for the native
populations. What were the causes?
The surviving documentation is extraordinarily rich:
conquistadors, religious figures, administrators, officials, and
merchants kept records, carried out inquiries, and issued edicts.
The native world, for its part, has also left eloquent traces of
events as well as direct testimony of its harsh subjugation at the
hands of the Europeans.
Drawing on these sources, Livi Bacci shows how not only the
'imported' diseases but also a series of economic and social
factors played a role in the disastrous decline of the native
populations. He argues that the catastrophe was not the inevitable
outcome of contact with Europeans but was a function of both the
methods of the conquest and the characteristics of the subjugated
societies.
This gripping narrative recounts one of the greatest tragedies
of human history, one whose protagonists include figures like
Columbus, Montezuma, Atahuallpa, Pizarro, Corts and Tupac
Amaru.

Very interesting and informative travel guide for kids!
Format: Kindle
I do not have a kid myself but got a chance to travel with my niece to Washington DC recently. I was worried about how I could keep her interest and excitement during the trip, (as you know it is not always easy to travel with the kid when you are not experienced) and I am lucky enough to have found this book. This book is like a normal travel guide but it is specially designed for kids, with a lot of fun games, interesting information, and colorful layout. It asks you to fill in information such as when did you go, where did you do, etc, which I think it can serve as a memory book for my niece and remind her the trip when she grows up. I will definitely purchase more travel guide from the same series!
