Название:Internal Improvement: National Public Works and the Promise of Popular Government in the Early United States

When the people of British North America threw off their colonial bonds, they sought more than freedom from bad government: most of the founding generation also desired the freedom to create and enjoy good, popular, responsive government. This book traces the central issue on which early Americans pinned their hopes for positive government action--internal improvement. The nation's early republican governments undertook a wide range of internal improvement projects meant to assure Americans' security, prosperity, and enlightenment--from the building of roads, canals, and bridges to the establishment of universities and libraries.

Название:Post Conquest Maya Literature

In Post-Conquest times Mayan scribes kept alive an apparently Pre-Columbian custom of transcribing or renewing the sacred books in their charge. This custom, in fact, seems to have survived down to the present if the reports from such towns as X-Cacal Guardia, Chan Cah, Chum Pom, and Dzitnup are true. As early as the latter part of the 16th century Mayan scribes began transcribing their material in the Latin script, and abandoned the general use of hieroglyphs. In the colonial manuscripts available to us there is only a scant use of hieroglyphs, and those glyphs which are shown are remote in execution from their Pre-Columbian counterparts.

History is the key to understanding men-whether as nations, families, or individuals. For Catholics, history has an even higher purpose beside. For them, history is the unfolding of God's Will in time, and the attempts of men either to conform themselves to or to resist that Will.
