The "birth" of Latin American nations -- From people to nation: Mesoamerica -- From people to nation: the Andes -- Gender and expanding ethnicity -- Migrations, trade, and other human interactions
This pioneering work brings the pre-Columbian and colonial history of Latin America home: rather than starting out in Spain and following Columbus and the conquistadores as they ""discover"" New World peoples, The Formation of Latin American Nations begins with the Mesoamerican …

The main theme of the book is the theory of heights as they appear in various guises. This includes a large body of results on Mahler's measure of the height of a polynomial of which topic there is no book available. The genesis of the measure in a paper by Lehmer is looked at, …

"This book covers an exciting interplay between arithmetic and dynamical systems. The fulcrum is a natural measure of height of a polynomial, known as Mahler's measure. In dynamical systems, this same measure arises as the entropy - a measure of orbit complexity - of a map assoc…
