Winston Churchill recognized in his memoirs: The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril. His fears would be realized in the Caribbean: By the end of the war, the Germans had sunk four hundred merchant ships in the Caribbean while only losing seventeen U-boats in what was called Operation Neuland. Begun in 1942, the campaign sought to cut the supply lines from the Caribbean to the Allies with the intention of strangling their import-based economies. Colonies of various empires would be left to fend for themselves. Dr. Ligia T. Domenech explores how the campaign hurt the people of the Caribbean, focusing on her native Puerto Rico. Learn about the principal targets of the German U-boats in the Caribbean, the United States reaction to Operation Neuland, the shortage of essential goods, new industries that developed during the war period, and the blockades long-lasting effects. To this day, the public and even most historians dont know about the blockades devastating effects and what it meant to be Imprisoned in the Caribbean.

Comer es una de nuestras ocupaciones principales; de hecho, le dedicamos cierto tiempo cada día. Tenemos a nuestra disposición la cantidad y variedad de alimentos más grande de la historia y, además, la comida se ha convertido en una fuente de placer; de hecho, en muchos lugares constituye una práctica artística refinada. A pesar de ello, también es un problema: por ejemplo, su exceso provoca “epidemias” de sobrepeso y, al mismo tiempo, centenares de millones de personas carecen de la cantidad de alimentos necesaria para sobrevivir dignamente. De esta manera, el mundo de la comida se ha convertido en un planeta complejo con multitud de veredas. Esta obra es una guía para explorarlo, tal como hacían los viajeros de tiempos legendarios. A la vuelta de la travesía, dispondremos de mejores criterios para optar por una alimentación saludable y respetuosa con nuestro entorno.
Many Early Modern Europeans who during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries travelled to the New World left written or pictorial records of their encounters with a surprising fauna. The story told in this book is woven out of the threads of those texts and pictures. A New World of Animals shows how the initial wonder at the new beasts gave way to a more utilitarian approach, assessing their economic and medical potential. It elucidates how shifts in European perceptions brought the animals from the realm of the fantastic into the mainstream of early modern natural history, while at the same time changing the way in which Europeans saw their own world. Indeed, the chronicles and treatises of those who in the wake of the discovery arrived in the new lands tell as much about the particular interests and mental worlds of the writers as about the 'new animals'. This book traces the amazement of the first explorers and colonizers, the chronicles of soldiers and Indians, the 'natural histories of the New World', the place of animals in the network of economic interests driving the early expansion of Europe, the views of the missionaries and those of natural philosophers and physicians. Taking the reader from the Brazilian forests to the erudite cabinets of the Old World, from Patagonia to the centres of empire, the story of the discovery of the unexpected menagerie of the New World is also an exploration of Early Modern European imagination and learning.
