Educated by his uncle, a learned Dominican friar, in youth that Vespucci displayed a talent for money matters and mathematics - these talents helped during his sea expeditions, which saw him draw many of the first maps made of South America's coast.This book does not merely contain Vespucci's own writings, but also letters of other authors who refer to him and his accomplishments. Christopher Columbus praised Vespucci's competence, while he is alluded to multiple times in the writings of historian Bartolome de las Casas. The compiler, annotator and translator of these correspondences is Clements R. Markham, who is keen to reveal the character and deeds that underpin Amerigo Vespucci's reputation.

Musical Comedy 3 m, 2 f Too Old for the Chorus is a smart, funny musical revue about men and women who find themselves suddenly 50! Set in their neighborhood retro coffee shop, five characters express in 18 musical numbers the gamut of their frustrations and joys - from troublesome relations with still demanding parents and cutting edge technology to finding delight in second careers (and second chances), getting smarter, and finally knowing that "Age is just a Number." The title celebrates life, finding fulfillment and being appreciated for exactly who you are - all while getting a senior discount. For more information on the show, please visit www.toooldforthechorus.com. "The show hits a marketing sweet spot. It plays to the vast baby boom generation ...but its appeal isn't limited to that audience. As with Avenue Q, the topics here are universal...Time and again, ache gives way to good humor and renewed determination...you'll leave rethinking 50 as 27, with 23 years of experience." -The Los Angeles Times. "Uproarious! Show Biz bliss!" -San Diego Union Tribune. "Musical theatre doesn't get much better than this. With literate lyrics that rival Cole Porter and Noel Coward." -Get Up and Go. "A little show with a big heart...The numbers reverberate with wit and humanity" -LA Weekly. "...a smart, funny and sometimes touching exploration of the challenges and joys of aging." -San Diego.com. "Baby Boomers will find resonance and uplift...in this unpretentiously enjoyable valentine to aging contentedly." -Back Stage West. "A lively musical revue...the evening just flies by!" -Jewish Times

Feminist Foreign Policy in Theory and in Practice outlines the foundations of feminist foreign policy and the fundamental concepts discussed and utilized by governments, civil society organizations, and those in the academic community as they define, formulate, and implement it.This book furthers the global conversation around how countries can develop and execute approaches to foreign policy and national security that go beyond conflict prevention and resolution and use a feminist or gender lens to increase gender equality and women's leadership in the security sector. It reviews how governments have implemented feminist foreign, development, and trade policies at the multilateral and national levels, and sets forth the unique global role of the U.S. government, using case studies to discuss what would be needed to implement a feminist foreign policy in the U.S. The authors provide a roadmap, stressing the necessity of applying a gender analysis and perspective to all peace and security decision-making and involving women in all aspects of conflict prevention and resolution, peacebuilding, post-conflict reconstruction, and humanitarian relief. They tie together the movements for human rights, women’s rights, feminism, and peace and security, highlighting how each of these strands brings key perspectives to the study of foreign policy.This book complements the study of the women, peace, and security agenda. It will be of great use to practitioners, including government officials, addressing issues of foreign policy, multilateral and bilateral engagement, and the promotion of gender equality and social inclusion. It will also be of interest to students and scholars of foreign policy, security studies, international relations, gender studies, development, governance, and political science.
