	Civ2 scenes and books! Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Another of my crazy and stupids ideas!

I think that we can start a thread (this ) where we put one of our favourite scen and a good book (or some chapters of a good book) that can work as background for the scen!

In this way, we'll win a list of scens to try first time (or to remember) and a good book for read the summer!

Do you think that is useful?

I will start:

Scen:

THE CONQUEST OF MEXICO (THE AZTEC'S ROAD TO EMPIRE) by Jesus Balsnide

Book:

The conquest of Mexico, by Hugh Tomas (It's deal with the Spanish conquest of Mexico, no the aztecs, but the firsts chapters describe the aztec empire, their history and their way of life in a very clean manner)

"The Sun God cries over Mexico" -- Laszlo Passuth

Pero aqui va el mio:

SCEN:
Age of Thunder (JB).

BOOK:
Felipe de España (Henry Kamen). De los pocos (si no el único) libros de Felipe II que trata al Rey Prudente sin admitir de antemano los prejuicios de la peor leyenda negra. Lo sarcástico del tema es que ha tenido que venir un inglés a escribirlo...

Je, je, precisamente yo me base en ese libro para hacer el escenario. Incluso el titulo esta sacado de ahi

"Felipe II y su tiempo" de Manuel Fernández Álvarez, es bastante benévolo hacia FII. No sé si más que el de Kamen, porque ese no lo he leído.

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

escenario y libro:
Sacrificial Blood by Shay Yates Roberts. 3 scenarios based on the Mayan Popol Vuh.

libro bueno:
[ingles] A very interesting book to read about Inca mythology and cosmology is 'Secret of the Incas' by D. Sullivan. He figured out how to read history from Inca myths, discovering a possible reason for their expanse as empire - an attempt to "stop" the progression of time and overturning of their world. It includes much info about their astronomy. Tho it cannot be called empirical research (and thus western science), I believe Sullivan has really hit upon some brilliant concepts with this book - things that will always be overlooked by empirical scientists trying to enveil history; The case of not seeing the forest for all the trees. Very engrossing, informative, and enlightening. I don't know if it is translated into español... [/ingles]

Yes, it's exists.

It's called "El secreto de los Incas", but the autor is called W. Sullivan and not D.Sullivan. A typo error?

I believed that the typo error was in the web that I saw, not in your message

You were correct - I have the book at home, and the author is indeed William Sullivan. I had typed my first message while at work...
