xix+245 pages with figures, maps, tables, charts, diagrams, illustrations, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with brown lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. Dr. Charles E. Pearson, archaeologist, and Dr. Paul E. Hoffman, historian, directed the research reported in this volume. This comprehensive work provides many details about the construction, cargo, and archaeological investigation of El Nuevo Constante. In the first week of September 1766, a hurricane blew two Spanish merchant ships aground on the Louisiana coast. Both were in the New Spain Fleet sailing from Veracruz, Mexico to Spain. Delays in Veracruz had forced the fleet to sail late in August, well into the dangerous hurricane season. The new Spanish government in Louisiana began immediate salvage of the two ships. This work to save and move cargo lasted two months. Two hundred thirteen years later, Curtis Blume found one of the ships when he caught several large ingots of copper in his shrimp nets. The wreck lay in state waters near the southwestern coast of Louisiana. The State of Louisiana developed an agreement with Curtis Blume and several of his associates. This contract provided for historical and archaeological study of the shipwreck. That investigation led to the positive identification of the merchant ship El Nuevo Constante. El Nuevo Constante is the first historic shipwreck discovered off the Louisiana coast. Careful study of it is both appropriate and fortunate. Archaeologists and historians found out about the ship and the events leading to its loss. They also excavated well-preserved artifacts, many of which are unique. These tell about the ship's construction, its cargo, and life aboard an eighteenth century merchant vessel. Condition: A near fine copy in a fine jacket., Louisiana State University, 1995, HCI.

Sarah Palin has many faces: hockey mom, fundamentalist Christian, sex symbol, Republican ideologue, fashion icon, "maverick" populist. But, above all, Palin has become one thing: an American obsession that just won't go away. Edited by two senior editors at The Nation magazine, this sharp, smart, up-to-the-minute book examines Palin's obscure origins in Wasilla, Alaska, her spectacular rise to the effective leadership of the Republican Party, and the nightmarish prospect of her continuing to dominate the nation's political scene.
