Cerro Gordo

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

Libro La caracterización y el aprovisionamiento de los recursos abióticos en la prehistoria de Cataluña

This study is a highly innovative body of research on the supply of raw material in prehistoric Iberia. The archaeological assemblages from recently excavated sites in north-eastern Spain are clearly presented, as are the various methods for the characterisation of flints and the determination of geological origins. The study is important in terms of the new data provided on raw material supply at the end of the Upper Palaeolithic in Iberia and a reconstruction of mobility patterns and resource exploitation of hunter-gatherer groups during the Pleistocene/Holocene transition. In Spanish.

Libro Esbozo de un amor a primera vista

”En setenta páginas se atraviesan siete decenios, se esbozan tres biografías y se plantean las suficientes preguntas como para conmover de forma constante al lector.” Nota del Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung a la edición alemana. “Los libros de Erich Hackl se enfrentan a las injusticias. Se trata de libros que molestan en cuanto que no forman parte del olvido. Hackl en sus libros vuelve a dar vida a los perdidos y acusa a aquellos que les hicieron caer – un cronista magistral y de fiar.” Deutschlandradio “La realidad es para Erich Hackl más emocionante que todo lo que podría...
