En este libro, queda a grandes rasgos registrada la vida e historia de un siervo de Dios en toda la extensión de la palabra. Aquí podemos ver como Dios, al igual que hizo con Abraham, también arrancó al que inspira esta biografía de su tierra y de su parentela, para que en tierras californianas, pudiera experimentar la grandeza de su amor a través de su gracia salvadora. Después, lo lleva de nuevo a su país de origen, para que con su sencillez y humildad que le caracterizó, entregue las buenas nuevas del evangelio a muchos con grandes y marcados dividendos. Siempre tendremos en nuestro recuerdo, así como en nuestro corazón, al Presbítero Eusebio Herrera León, el gran caudillo de nuestro amado Distrito. Presbítero Adolfo Salazar Hermosillo, México (q.e.p.d.) Fue pastor, presbítero representante por el Estado de Sonora y superintendente de distrito. Aprender a hacer mis primeros bosquejos bajo la enseñanza y supervisión del Presbítero Eusebio Herrera León fue muy honroso y de gran inspiración para mí. Fue un hombre sencillo, humilde, santo, fiel, y leal. Presbítero Marcelino González Fue superintendente de distrito y es pastor en la Catedral de la Esperanza, en Mexicali, México.

Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.

From the earliest days of their empire in the New World, the Spanish sought to gain control of the native peoples and lands of what is now Sonora. While missionaries were successful in pacifying many Indians, the Seris--independent groups of hunter-gatherers who lived on the desert shores and islands of the Gulf of California--steadfastly defied Spanish efforts to subjugate them. Empire of Sand is a documentary history of Spanish attempts to convert, control, and ultimately annihilate the Seris. These papers of religious, military, and government officials attest to the Seris' resilience in the face of numerous Spanish attempts to conquer them and remove them from their lands. The documents include early observations of the Seris by Jesuit missionaries, descriptions of the collapse of the Seri mission system in 1748, accounts of the invasion of Tibur n Island in 1750 and the Sonora Expedition of 1767-71, and reports of late eighteenth-century Seri hostilities. Thomas E. Sheridan's introduction puts the documents in perspective, while his notes objectively clarify their significance. By skillfully weaving the documents into a coherent narrative of Spanish-Seri interaction, he has produced a compelling account of empire and resistance that speaks to anthropologists, historians, and all readers who take heart in stories of resistance to oppression.

The Antiquities of the Jews is a 20-volume historiographical work composed by Flavius Josephus in the 13th year of the reign of Roman emperor Flavius Domitian. The book contains an account of history of the Jewish people, written in Greek for Josephus' gentile patrons. In the first ten volumes, Josephus follows the events of the historical books of the Hebrew Bible beginning with the creation of Adam and Eve. The second ten volumes continue the history of the Jewish people beyond the biblical text and up to the Jewish War. This work provides valuable background material to historians wishing to understand 1st-century AD Judaism and the early Christian period._x000D_ _x000D_ Titus Flavius Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish scholar, historian and hagiographer, who was born in Jerusalem—then part of Roman Judea—to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry. He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in 67 CE to Roman forces led by Vespasian after the six-week siege of Jotapata. After Vespasian became Emperor in 69 CE, he granted Josephus his freedom, at which time Josephus assumed the emperor's family name of Flavius. He fully defected to the Roman side and was granted Roman citizenship. Josephus recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish–Roman War, including the Siege of Masada. His most important works were The Jewish War (c. 75) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94)._x000D_
