PRISONERS OF GEOGRAPHY

Ten maps that tell you everything you need to know about global politics.

Shared by Miryan Hernando:

I work with some parts of this book in my 3º ESO Geography lessons as it depitcs the relations bewteen the countries, its borders and how that influences their politics. I also use it sometimes in 4º ESO.

I also suggest you to have a look at this website from an Spanish teacher, who works with different novels in his History lessons: ESO ES OTRA HISTORIA by Guillermo Balmori

BERNARDO DE GÁLVEZ

In the USA the Spanish heritage is being promoted in recent years thanks to public and privalte institutions, such as Recovered Memories, an exhibition which remembers the role that Bernardo de Gálvez, the governor of Spanish Louisiana and hero of the American War of Independence.

Perhaps you know Guillermo Fesser ( a Spanish  journalist known for utilizing humor while reporting news on Spanish radio throughout his innovative program called Goomaespuma, film director, writer...),who is currently living about A Hundred Miles from Manhattan. 

He wrote a book about Bernarde de Gálvez and has been touring schools all around the States talking about him.
