La relevancia del barroco dieciochesco novohispano es analizada a través del estudio de la vida y obra de uno de los artistas más representativos de ese momento: Felipe de Ureña. Artista de valiente fantasía, como reconocieron sus contemporáneos, fue fiel representante del denominado estípite barroco, una de las modalidades de mayor calado dentro del desarrollo del arte en Nueva España. La importancia de su figura radica en tres factores fundamentales: fue uno de los primeros artistas que adoptó la pilastra estípite en retablos y arquitectura, su espíritu nómada, inquieto y viajero lo erigió en el gran difusor de esa nueva variedad, y la organización de su taller artístico, donde dio cabida a padre, hermanos, hijos y yerno lo instituyó como ejemplo endogámico del quehacer artístico, que tan notable fue en los ámbitos españoles y americanos. El desarrollo de la vida profesional de Felipe de Ureña sirve de acicate para adentrarnos en el estudio del arte novohispano del siglo XVIII desde el punto de vista histórico y estilístico, donde tiene cabida el análisis de sus patrocinadores religiosos y civiles, así como su relación con otros artistas contemporáneos.
El profesor Jonh Lynch reúne en este volumen algunos de sus mejores estudios sobre historia de América española en el tránsito de la colonia a la independencia. El volumen comienza con una reflexión sobre la conquista y los conquistadores -sobre las razon

The ships and crews of the U.S. Lighthouse Tender Service were the unsung heroes of Great Lakes transportation for more than a century. Yet despite the critical role they played in maritime operations, little information is available about these hard-working men and the ships they called home. Author Paul J. Mason provides an illustrated history of lighthouse tenders that served on "The Lakes," complete with rare photos and fascinating back stories.

As the author notes in his introduction, this fascinating and insightful book is ?family history with a context.?

It is a story of the movement from country to city,
We Chose Colorado is a compelling collection of oral histories voiced by over 40 persons of Japanese birth or heritage who now reside in Colorado. They include the histories of original immigrants (Issei) who left Japan prior to World War II, doing so for a variety of reasons, including recruitment by US railroad companies as laborers, by mining companies as miners, or to pursue farm work. Those histories are narratives of ambition, struggle, and success. Members of the second generation (Nisei) pursued educations and economic advance-ment for themselves and their families. But the histories also tell of setbacks as American citizens of Japanese descent were incarcerated in concentration camps by the US government during World War II. Following the war, however, Japanese Americans were able to rebuild their lives and to become once again valuable contributors to Colorado through the introduction of more-efficient farming methods, sushi, sake, ikebana, martial arts, karaoke and more.? Dr. Joyce Lebra provides valuable context and analysis of these fascinating accounts through an overview of the history of the
