DOWNLOAD EBOOKSecretos de los jesuitas no quieren a los cristianos a conocer. Desde Europa escuchamos una voz del mundo secular que documenta, históricamente, la misma información que nos fue dada por ex sacerdotes. Edmond Paris expone con valentía la intervención del Vaticano en la política y en las intrigas mundiales, además de fomentar guerras a través de la historia. Se ve, sin duda alguna, que la institución católica romana no es una iglesia cristiana y jamás lo fue. Proféticamente, es la ramera de la que habla Apocalipsis 17—18. El pobre pueblo católico romano ha sido traicionado por ella y está enfrentando una tragedia espiritual. Quiera Dios usar este libro para ayudarle a hacer un nuevo compromiso, de guiar a los amados católicos romanos al Cristo vivo y verdadero de la Biblia, de modo que sus almas puedan ser salvadas. El autor Edmond París explica porqué él escribió este libro... "La gente prácticamente desconoce la enorme responsabilidad del Vaticano y de los jesuitas en el inicio de las dos guerras mundiales; esto, en parte, se debió a los grandes recursos financieros que el Vaticano y los jesuitas tenían a su disposición, dándoles poder en muchos ámbitos, especialmente después del último conflicto. "En realidad, su papel en aquellos trágicos eventos casi no se ha mencionado sino hasta estos tiempos, excepto por apologistas deseosos de encubrirlo. A fin de rectificar esto y dar a conocer los hechos, presentamos en este libro y en otros la actividad política del Vaticano durante la época contemporánea, la cual tiene que ver también con los jesuitas. "Este estudio se basa en irrefutables documentos de archivo, en publicaciones de conocidos políticos, diplomáticos, embajadores y escritores eminentes —en su mayoría, católicos—, legalizadas incluso por el imprimátur."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJesuits established a large number of astronomical, geophysical and meteorological observatories during the 17th and 18th centuries and again during the 19th and 20th centuries throughout the world. The history of these observatories has never been published in a complete form. Many early European astronomical observatories were established in Jesuit colleges. During the 17th and 18th centuries Jesuits were the first western scientists to enter into contact with China and India. It was through them that western astronomy was first introduced in these countries. They made early astronomical observations in India and China and they directed for 150 years the Imperial Observatory of Beijing. In the 19th and 20th centuries a new set of observatories were established. Besides astronomy these now included meteorology and geophysics. Jesuits established some of the earliest observatories in Africa, South America and the Far East. Jesuit observatories constitute an often forgotten chapter of the history of these sciences.
Between Encyclopedia and Chorography

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring the early modern period, regional specified compendia – which combine information on local moral and natural history, towns and fortifications with historiography, antiquarianism, images series or maps – gain a new agency in the production of knowledge. Via literary and aesthetic practices, the compilations construct a display of regional specified knowledge. In some cases this display of regional knowledge is presented as a display of a local cultural identity and is linked to early modern practices of comparing and classifying civilizations. At the core of the publication are compendia on the Americas which research has described as chorographies, encyclopeadias or – more recently – 'cultural encyclopaedias'. Studies on Asian and European encyclopeadias, universal histories and chorographies help to contextualize the American examples in the broader field of an early modern and transcultural knowledge production, which inherits and modifies the ancient and medieval tradition.

ISBN-13: 0429867921
DOWNLOAD EBOOKEmpires of Knowledge charts the emergence of different kinds of scientific networks – local and long-distance, informal and institutional, religious and secular – as one of the important phenomena of the early modern world. It seeks to answer questions about what role these networks played in making knowledge, how information traveled, how it was transformed by travel, and who the brokers of this world were. Bringing together an international group of historians of science and medicine, this book looks at the changing relationship between knowledge and community in the early modern period through case studies connecting Europe, Asia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Americas. It explores a landscape of understanding (and misunderstanding) nature through examinations of well-known intelligencers such as overseas missions, trading companies, and empires while incorporating more recent scholarship on the many less prominent go-betweens, such as translators and local experts, which made these networks of knowledge vibrant and truly global institutions. Empires of Knowledge is the perfect introduction to the global history of early modern science and medicine.
Iberian Empires and the Roots of Globalization

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThrough interdisciplinary essays covering the wide geography of the Spanish and Portuguese empires, Iberian Empires and the Roots of Globalization investigates the diverse networks and multiple centers of early modern globalization that emerged in conjunction with Iberian imperialism. Iberian Empires and the Roots of Globalization argues that Iberian empires cannot be viewed apart from early modern globalization. From research sites throughout the early modern Spanish and Portuguese territories and from distinct disciplinary approaches, the essays collected in this volume investigate the economic mechanisms, administrative hierarchies, and art forms that linked the early modern Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Iberian Empires and the Roots of Globalization demonstrates that early globalization was structured through diverse networks and their mutual and conflictive interactions within overarching imperial projects. To this end, the essays explore how specific products, texts, and people bridged ideas and institutions to produce multiple centers within Iberian imperial geographies. Taken as a whole, the authors also argue that despite attempts to reproduce European models, early Iberian globalization depended on indigenous agency and the agency of people of African descent, which often undermined or changed these models. The volume thus relays a nuanced theory of early modern globalization: the essays outline the Iberian imperial models that provided templates for future global designs and simultaneously detail the negotiated and conflictive forms of local interactions that characterized that early globalization. The essays here offer essential insights into historical continuities in regions colonized by Spanish and Portuguese monarchies.
