When President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from cash-strapped France in 1803, he doubled the size of the United States without really knowing what he was getting. He dispatched Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their Corps of Discovery to explore a territory that would include part or all of fifteen future states and to seek a water route to the West Coast. Westward expansion began immediately, all for the bargain price of 15 million dollars. This book richly explores this fascinating part of history.

Esta antología y el estudio crítico que la acompaña rinde homenaje a los escritores y sabios sefaradíes de los Siglos de Oro español que produjeron una extraordinaria literatura. Durante el período los autores generaron un cuerpo literario que puede señalarse como una verdadera respuesta a la Expulsión de 1492. Desde Isaac Abravanel, pasando por Salomón ibn Verga, Yshac Cardoso o Baruj Espinosa, hasta León Hebreo e Isaac Aboab I, entre otros, los textos seleccionados muestran una de las creaciones más importantes de las letras europeas de la época.

The sun is responsible for all life on Earth, but what exactly is it? Our star is an amazing force that can be as dangerous as it is important. From solar flares to the threat of blowing up altogether, the sun is one of the most interesting things in our solar system. Readers take a trip to the sun to see how it works and exactly what it is made of. They’ll learn about the life cycle of a star and see just how long we have until we have to find a new planet to call home. Don’t worry, they’ll be happy to learn that (hopefully) we have millions of years left!
