1491 : new revelations of the Americas before Columbus / Charles C. Mann. by Mann, Charles C. New York : Knopf, 2005. Subjects Indians -- Origin.   Indians -- History.   Indians -- Antiquities.   America -- Antiquities. ISBN:  140004006X (alk. paper) : Description:  xii, 465 p. : ill., maps ; 25 cm. Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  Mann shows how a new generation of researchers equipped with novel scientific techniques have come to previously unheard-of conclusions about the Americas before the arrival of the Europeans: In 1491 there were probably more people living in the Americas than in Europe. Certain cities--such as Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital--were greater in population than any European city. Tenochtitlán, unlike any capital in Europe at that time, had running water, beautiful botanical gardens, and immaculately clean streets. The earliest cities in the Western Hemisphere were thriving before the Egyptians built the great pyramids. Native Americans transformed their land so completely that Europeans arrived in a hemisphere already massively "landscaped" by human beings. Pre-Columbian Indians in Mexico developed corn by a breeding process that the journal Science recently described as "man's first, and perhaps the greatest, feat of genetic engineering."--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 970.011 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.011 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 970.011 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.011 Mann   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.011 Mann p b Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.011 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.011 Ma   Transit Request Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.011 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.011 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.011 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
