Felipe IV con el fin de persuadirlo de la importancia estratégica que cobra la isla de Puerto Rico como puerta a las posesiones del imperio español. Este atractivo de la isla queda evidenciado por los múltiples ataques de piratas y corsarios, pero en los ojos de don Francisco de Lugo y Dávila, Puerto Rico necesita mayor atención y mejores recursos, no solo para enfrentar al enemigo externo sino también para combatir contra otros enemigos internos tales como la corrupción, la apatía y la negligencia. El autor de la carta se convierte en este libro de Carmen Rita Rabell en un fascinante personaje digno de la ficción del Siglo de Oro español pues, entre otras peripecias, fue secuestrado por enemigos holandeses, y es desde ese cautiverio que accede a información valiosa tanto de futuros ataques como de la presencia de informantes infiltrados en las altas esferas de la administración insular. Pero, antes de llegar a su Discurso sobre la importancia y conservación de la plaza e isla de Puerto Rico por D. Francisco Dávila y Lugo que ha estado quince meses prisionero del enemigo holandés la investigadora nos relata su propia aventura en la interesante búsqueda del, al parecer escurridizo, don Francisco y además expone magistralmente la tradición clásica en la que se apoya su Discurso para manejar la “persuasión, sinceridad y prudencia” en materia tan delicada como la que presenta su carta al rey. Acompañe a Carmen Rita Rabell en su recorrido por la investigación y el análisis de un documento histórico que, sin haberse destacado nunca antes, revela mucho de la idiosincrasia de la colonia y nos provoca a preguntarnos cuánto de lo narrado y expuesto en estas líneas aún persiste en nuestra isla de Puerto Rico, a la que no se llevó el holandés.

Well-organised, concise and beautifully illustrated
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
The book can be described as concise, well-structured (being constant throughout its entirety), and quite graphic, aside from the prestigious drawings from Dr. Frank H. Netter, there's also real-life pictures included. The online resources are well used, and they're another tool in case someone want's a quick search instead of going to the index. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to have good knowledge of infectious diseases, without having to go to the more expensive authoritative source (Mandell, Douglas and Bennett's Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases 9th Ed.), which is also mentioned in the preface.

Good condition Amazing read.
Format: Paperback
Amazing book shipped in good condition which is surprising since it's a paper back and most my books I got from Amazon have at least a little damage from shipping. Definitely pick up this book if you make games.

My 22 year-old grandson was incredibly happy with this gift!
Format: Paperback
I can't write a meaningful review of the content of this book, because I don't begin to understand it, however, it was one of the things my grandson requested for his 22nd birthday, and he seemed thrilled to get it and he tells me it's a great book, so I can say whole heartedly, this is a terrific birthday gift for anyone who's into computer games.
