Few societies boast such an unbroken cultural, scientific and intellectual life, marked by such a high level of creativity and achievements. The extraordinary complexity and richness of Mexican history intrigues us today. These indigenous people who inhabited a territory called Mesoamerica produced a great culture one thousand years before Jesus Christ was born. They created a society of intellectuals, of astronomical sciences, of social and political institutions. They had gods of all kinds. Their kings had a precise code of conduct including their constitution. Imagine, they even used a rubber ball for play and for rituals. The players used rubber guards for protection, much like the helmets and pads American football players were today. "Mexican Food."

Two Voices from the South: A Bit of History by Pedro M. C. de Castro, Lorena-SP, Brazil pmcc@easygold.com.br The highlands in the northeast of Rio Grande do Sul are one of the few areas with blizzards in Brazil. Near the Peak of Igreja, 6100 feet, the Pelotas-Uruguay River is born. Instead of running east to flow into the ocean only 40 miles away, the river initially flows to the northwest and then to the south, undertaking a long trip across the continent. It flows into the sea only near Buenos Aires, Argentina, more than 1,000 miles from its source. This vast portion of land, surrounded by water, wasn't part of the original Portuguese domains in South America. Several conflicts involving the Portuguese and the Spanish colonizers turned the area into a no-man's land for over a century, and led to the division of the territory into two parts in 1828: The Province of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the north and the Republic of Uruguay in the south. Conquerors of their territory, but unsatisfied with their lack of autonomy, the people of Rio Grande proclaimed an independent republic in 1836. They supported a war against the Brazilian Monarchy until 1845, when they surrendered. Giuseppe Garibaldi, hero of Italian unification, fought in this war, aside the Republicans, and met his wife Anita. Fig 1: Map of Rio Grande do Sul With the same area as the State of Colorado and a present population of 9.7 million, Rio Grande do Sul is a State with a strong identity, a consequence of its past of war and massive European immigration. The most important immigrants were the Germans, established in the valley of the Jacui River, and the Italians, who preferred the highlands of the northeast. But the Spanish, Azorian, British, French, and Polish immigrants are also important. The state economy is diversified: mining, manufacturing, agriculture, livestock, agri-business, and tourism are important. The agricultural industry adopted a partnership system in which the companies provide technical assistance to thousands of small farmers and buy their products, thereby minimizing risks and assuring a good productivity and life quality.

In the Shadow of Kirinyaga Published in Paperback by Tsar Pubns (October, 2002) Author: Sophia Mustafa Average review score: Romance in Kenya This was a very lovely book about Asians Muslims in Kenya, and centred around the romance between Mussavir and Shaira. In a twist on the classic boy meets girl story, Mussavir and Shaira are brought together without much say on their parts, but end up falling in love. Distance and socio-political events conspire to keep them apart, and an unexpected fate unfolds for the couple. Mustafa is able to sustain the suspense well, and goes into much detail when describing everyday events. The colourful descriptions of festivities and food are quite wonderful, making one feel like they were right there participating in the feasts alongside the Bashirs (Mussavir's family). This was a pleasant read, and it is great to see different voices emerge into the Western literary canon. Islam in Ethiopia Author: J. Spencer Trimingham

Following are some notable highlights: CI is founded. The first debt-for-nature swap starts a trend in conservation financing when CI purchases a portion of Bolivia's foreign debt. The debt is redirected to support conservation in the Beni Biosphere Reserve. More than $1 billion in similar deals worldwide follow this swap's example. CI's AMISCONDE project begins, providing sustainable economic and conservation initiatives for farmers living around La Amistad Biosphere Reserve bridging Costa Rica and Panama. The Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) is launched. A new twist on traditional field research, RAP's quick inventories of the biodiversity of unexplored, threatened areas have provided the biological justification for eight protected areas in four countries, covering more than 8 million acres (3.24 million hectares) of tropical forest. CI begins work in Madagascar's Zahamena National Park, helping to provide communities with sustainable economic alternatives and setting conservation goals before handing off park management to local authorities in 2002. CI continues to work with Malagasy partners to create and manage new protected areas that will anchor the Zahamena-Mantadia conservation corridor.

Afroasiatic Languages Also known as Hamito-Semitic languages, Afroasiatic languages are spoken by 175 million persons representing a wide range of cultures through most of the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, North Africa, and large portions of West Africa. The languages include Arabic and Hebrew. Afroasiatic is commonly divided into five main branches based on ancient roots: Egyptian, Semitic, Cushitic, Berber, and Chad. Omotic, formerly called West Cushitic, has recently been suggested as constituting a sixth branch. These languages differ in their particulars, and the exact relationship among the branches has not yet been established. Scholars postulate, however, that all are derived from an unknown ancestor language that was probably spoken in northeast Africa or the Sahara about the 6th millennium BC. Egyptian. Egyptian is the oldest attested language of the family and has the longest known continuous history. As a written language it proceeded in five distinct stages. The first threeOld Egyptian (c.3000 to c.2200 BC), Middle Egyptian (c.2200 to c.1200 BC), and Late or Neo-Egyptian (c.1300 to c.700 BC)were all written in Hieroglyphics. Demotic (c.700 BC to AD c.300) was written in a simplified cursive script based on hieroglyphics and spoken by early Christians. Coptic (from AD 300), written in an alphabet based on Greek and comprising many dialects, was still widely spoken in the 16th century and in some places possibly as late as the 19th century. One Coptic dialect, Bohairic, is now the liturgical language of the Christian Monophysite Coptic Church.
