When people think of Mexico, the region's beautiful beaches, delicious food and unique culture comes to mind. While these are all true, there are so many more reasons why people should consider visiting Mexico. If you are planning a vacation in 2010, then here are five reasons why Mexico should be your destination of choice.
1. 2010 Bicentennial of Independence - In the year 2010, Mexico will celebrate 200 years of the independence movement and 100 years of its revolution. The celebrations will feature a number of programs that are designed to help visitors learn more about the country's history and reflect on the struggle that the people have undergone to bring it to where it is today. This region is definitely worth visiting if only to attend this event; also there are a number of important people from around the world expected to attend.
2. Affordable Holiday - Mexico is a popular tourist destination on account of the affordability of travel to this region, inexpensive accommodation options and cheap transport. There are several budget airlines that ply to Mexico from across the world with good airfare packages that will help reduce your travel expenses. Also, if you plan your holiday in the off season, you could get an all inclusive package for a lesser price than you would pay for most other holidays. Even the sightseeing here can be accomplished without spending too much money as most of the region's attractions are free to visit.
3. Beaches - The beaches in Mexico are probably the biggest reason why people choose to visit this country. There are many excellent resorts and beach towns in the peninsula, which include Acapulco, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. All the beach towns offer excellent bathing facilities and water sports that include snorkelling and diving.
4. Ruins - History enthusiasts will have more than their share of excitement with the long and varied history of the country should they opt to travel to Mexico, this year; this includes various archaeological sites, with some being as old as 2000 years. Mexico was the seat of the Mayan empire, and runs like Tulum and Chichen Itza are very popular attractions, although there are several other destinations across Mexico worth visiting as well.
5. Cuisine - Mexican food is one of the most popular kinds of cuisine in the world and tourists will find dishes that combine a variety of tastes available here. Mexican cuisine uses lot of lentils, flat breads and spice and visitors will enjoy the rice dishes and sandwiches made with different varieties of flatbreads. There are different kinds of foods on offer here from the mild traditional food to the more spicy street food which is what most people associate with Mexico.

Bicentennial Man - $8.99 If a robot spends enough time around humans, can he learn to become one of them? The Martin family purchases a domestic android as a servant and names him Andrew (Robin Williams). Andrew comes to know the man of the house as Sir (Sam Neill), his wife as Ma'am Wendy Crewson, and their daughter as Portia (Embeth Davidtz); before long, the Martins suspect that they do not have an ordinary robot on their hands. Andrew seems capable of expressing emotion and generating original thoughts, and the longer he stays with the Martins, the more strongly these human traits manifest themselves. Over the next 200 years, Andrew becomes less a machine and more a member of the family, until a mechanic (Oliver Platt) tells Andrew that he might be able to turn him into a human being. Based on a short story by renowned science fiction author Isaac Asimov (surprisingly, it's only the second Asimov story to be brought to the screen), Bicentennial Man was directed by Chris Columbus, who previously worked with Robin Williams on Mrs. Doubtfire. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

The first two books, the landmark "Abraham Lincoln: Speeches and Writings 1832a1858" and "Abraham Lincoln: Speeches and Writings 1859a 1865," which Alfred Kazin called it a amomentous and thrilling addition to any private library, a have been reissued with commemorative bicentennial jackets.

Bicentennial Essays on the Bill of Rights $3.95 African-Americans have had an ambivalent relationship with the Constitution for more than two hundred years. Throughout most of American history, racist interpretations of the Constitution have sanctioned a legal system supportive of slavery, marked blacks as inferiors, rendered them politically powerless, and denied them justice and access to society's resources. Yet both black and white opponents of slavery and racial subordination--from antebellum abolitionists to twentieth-century civil rights leaders--have found principles in the Constitution that support their demands for freedom, citizenship, and equality. In Promises to Keep, Donald G. Nieman tells the story of this paradoxical relationship, tracing it from the birth of the Republic to current battles over school segregation, voting rights, and affirmative action. While Nieman examines the devastating effects of constitutionally sanctioned racism on the lives of African-Americans, he also shows how blacks and their white allies have been active agents of constitutional change since the early nineteenth century, forging an egalitarian constitutionalism and using it to press a reluctant nation to honor its long-deferred promise of equality. Compact, lively, and readable, Promises to Keep illuminates the past and offers a fresh perspective on the current debate over civil rights, showing how it too often ignores the tragic history of law and race in America. This is the first volume of Bicentennial Essays on the Bill of Rights, an important series co-sponsored by the Organization of American Historians and Oxford University Press, under the general editorship of Kermit L. Hall. |

Washington and the Revolution - A Reappraiasl $33.18 WASHINGTON and the Revolution A REAPPRAISAL GATES, CONWAY, AND THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS by Bernhard Knollenberg New York THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 194-0 PREFACE FOR many years I have been at work on a detailed history of the political developments of the American Revolution from the Tea Act of 1773 to the French Alliance of 1778. I began with the assumption that anyone tempted to read my book would be familiar with the elementary facts about the Continental Congress and the military side of the Revo lution. But as my work progressed, it became evident that, from the time July 1775 that Washington takes the cen ter of the stage, the more widely read books on the Revolu tion give a distorted picture of some of these facts. This applies especially to the facts concerning the relations be tween Washington and the Continental Congress and Gen erals Gates and Conway. I found myself in a position similar to that of a lawyer forced to try a case before a judge, who, far from being prepared to take judicial notice that the sun rises in the east, or that six is less than eight, had been taught the opposite. This book is designed, in some measure, to correct this distortion. Without purporting to offer a complete restudy of the war, I have undertaken to present certain episodes and characters in what I believe to be a truer light. During the first thirty years of the present century, Syd ney George Fisher, Claude H. Van Tyne, Francis Vinton Greene, William E. Woodward, Shelby Little, Rupert Hughes, and other historians and biographers made great progress toward correcting the misimpressions created by vii PREFACE their predecessors. 1 But their work has been largely undone in recent years by John GFitzpatrick, editor of the monu mental Bicentennial Edition of the Writings of Washing ton. In his recent biography, George Washington Himself, he has apparently taken literally Washington Irvings re mark that There is a certain meddlesome spirit which, in the garb of learned research, goes prying about the traces of history, cast ing down its monuments, and marring and mutilating its fairest trophies. Care should be taken to vindicate great names from such pernicious erudition. Irving, Columbus, 1828, 1, 40. At first blush, this protective point of view, however un scientific, appears to have at least the virtue of charity. But it does not have even this much in its favor. For, in order to maintain the tradition of the heros nonexistent infalli bility, it is necessary to shift the responsibility for the con sequences of his lapses to others, who are made the scape goats for his mistakes. It has been the common practice among historians to ac cept the accuracy of any statement made by Washington concerning the men and events of the Revolution as repre senting final, unimpeachable truth. Thus Hughes, in his George Washington II, 282, after quoting Gouverneur Morris exclamation What a set of damned scoundrels we had in that Second Congress, says If all this sounds like |
