The Mission to the Moon: Apollo 11There is no other name that is associated as much with the modern horror novel as the master himself, Stephen King. Critical responses to his work have ranged from lauding books as among the most important American novels, to denouncing them as schlock. Although no president has left the country untouched by his own politics and beliefs, Lincoln went further than most in creating the changes that he believed in, and even though his legacy was already assured by his actions, his legend was assured by the manner of his death. Although Descartes is known greatly for his contributions to philosophy, he was also an important student of mathematics, geometry, and science. |
Control of the Wine IndustryControl of the Wine IndustryAuthor: Sarah MartinPrior to the eighteenth century the wine trade was in the hands of small individual merchants, and establishments on the scale of modern bodegas were entirely unknown; there was no continuity of name and no records of individual merchants have survived. Only one modern firm-J. M. Rivero-can trace its direct ancestry to an earlier period. This house has been trading at least since 1653. Its trademark is CZ, and the initials stand for Cabeza y Zarco, the family name of Don Pedro Alonso Cabeza de Aranda y Zarco, who was its founder. |
