New Book


My new book will be available soon. The title is: "Missions and Frontiers of Spanish America: A Comparative Study of the Impact of Environmental, Economic, Political, and Socio-Cultural Variations on the Missions in the Rio de la Plata Region and on the Northern Frontier of New Spain." It will be published by Pentacle Press in Scottsdale, Arizona (http://www.missionscalifornia.com/), and will be available in three versions: an e-book downloadable, on a cd, or conventional hard copy. The e-book and cd have one advantage, the numerous photos and illustrations in color.

I was wondering why I haven't seen any of your posts for a while and now I know. You've been real busy on the new Book. Can't wait to see it. The front cover book title must have been a challenge for space.

The e-book version would be best, as to get the full flavor in full color.


Congrats on the new book being published soon. :tumble:

Thanks


Thanks Randy Mac. We had a rush order for a class at the University of Texas in the cd version, so I spent a lot of hours doing editing to get that ready. We plan to do one last editing before it is ready, which should be sometime next month. The book talks about missions in northern Mexico and in Paraguay in a comparative way, but focuses on California and Baja California more than other parts of northern Mexico. Chapter 1 deals exclusively with the establishment of the missions in Baja California and California. What the book will help readers understand is the larger colonial context for missions in places like Baja California.
