Limited to 3000 numbered copies of which this is number 477.Antonio de Mendoza y Pacheco (1495 July 21, 1552) was the first Viceroy of New Spain, serving from November 14, 1535 to November 25, 1550, and the third Viceroy of Peru, from September 23, 1551, until his death on July 21, 1552. Mendoza became Viceroy of New Spain in 1535 and governed for 15 years, longer than any subsequent viceroy. On his arrival in New Spain, he found a recently conquered territory beset with Indian unrest and rivalry among the Spanish conquerors and Spanish settlers. His difficult assignment was to govern in the king's name without making an enemy of Hernando Cortés. Cortés himself had expected to be made the permanent ruling crown official of New Spain, since he had led the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. The Emperor Charles V (King Charles I of Spain) and the Council of the Indies judged Cortés too independent of crown authority to be made viceroy and had created a high court (audiencia) in New Spain in 1528, appointing Nuño de Guzmán, a rival of Cortés as its president to counter Cortés's power. In 1530 the crown granted Cortés the title of the Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca with multiple encomiendas. With the arrival of Viceroy Mendoza in 1535, Cortés pursued his own economic interests from his palace in Cuernavaca. When the Spanish crown issued the New Laws that put restrictions on the grants of elite conquerors awarded grants of labor encomenderos, the viceroy prudently refrained from implementing the most draconian aspects of the edicts, which no longer permitted an encomendero family holding the grant in perpetuity. In Peru, the implementation of the New Laws resulted in outright rebellion and the assassination of the viceroy.Condition:Edges lightly rubbed.

SYNOPSIS: There have been few periods of human history as significant or as dramatic as was the first half of the twentieth century in China. From the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 through to the final Communist victories in 1949, China was in the midst of social upheaval, revolution, and war. That half-century of change parallels the early career of Bob McClure, The United Church of Canada's extraordinary missionary surgeon who was born just after his parents escaped from the Boxer Rebellion and who was raised in China, educated in Canada and abroad, and returned to spend the first twenty-five years of his medical life in China. McClure: The China Years not only follows the adventures of a unique man but traces them against the fascinating and often awesome background of a changing China. During McClure's childhood the Manchu emperors are still in power. During his teens the First Republic is struggling for survival. It is the Age of the Warlords as McClure begins his service as a doctor. While he is pioneering with X-ray, radium, family planning, and rural medicine, China moves into the Sino-Japanese War and McClure becomes Field Director for The International Red Cross in North and Central China before going to the Burma Road to take command of a Quaker ambulance unit staffed by pacifists. While McClure is following the dictates of his conscience Chinese Nationalist soldiers attempt to execute him, the Japanese put a price on his had, the Chinese Communists black-list him, and Canada's Prime Minister, Mackenzie King, threatens to throw him in gaol. Bob McClure is a unique blend of missionary, surgeon, mechanic, and adventurer. In reflecting the man, McClure offers an unusual blend of drama, humour, and adventure combined with an intimate view of history-in-the-making. Munroe Scott was born in Owen Sound, Ontario, in 1927. He was raised in Ontario and educated at Queen's University (B.A.) and at Cornell University (M.A.). He has been a freelance writer and director in film and television for many years. He was writer/director for three outstanding CBC-TV series--One Canadian (The Diefenbaker memoirs), First Person Singular (The Pearson memoirs), and The Tenth Decade (The Diefenbaker-Pearson years). He has written many plays for TV, his most ambitious being Reddick, a three-hour drama in two parts. He has been Writer in Residence at the University of Guelph, has won the ACTRA Award for the Best Writer in the Dramatic Mode in Radio and has had a full length play, Wu-feng, produced by Toronto's prestigious St. Lawrence Centre. As a freelance filmwriter Mr. Scott has written many filmscripts for Berkeley Studio, the film production unit of The United church of Canada. Research for those documentary films has taken him to mission fields in the Caribbean, Africa, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Okinawa, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia. Many readers will remember his first book, African Manhunt, which was written as a result of a film assignment in Angola. Now, having recently completed the TV biographies of two fascinating Canadian Prime Ministers, Mr. Scott brings his talents to bear upon a biography of a third great Canadian, Dr. Bob McClure..

On his arrival in New Spain, he found a recently conquered territory beset with Indian unrest and rivalry among the Spanish conquerors and Spanish settlers. His difficult assignment was to govern in the king's name without making an enemy of Hernando Cortés. Cortés himself had expected to be made the permanent ruling crown official of New Spain, since he had led the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. The Emperor Charles V (King Charles I of Spain) and the Council of the Indies judged Cortés too independent of crown authority to be made viceroy and had created a high court (audiencia) in New Spain in 1528, appointing Nuño de Guzmán, a rival of Cortés as its president to counter Cortés's power. In 1530 the crown granted Cortés the title of the Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca with multiple encomiendas. With the arrival of Viceroy Mendoza in 1535, Cortés pursued his own economic interests from his palace in Cuernavaca. When the Spanish crown issued the New Laws that put restrictions on the grants of elite conquerors awarded grants of labor encomenderos, the viceroy prudently refrained from implementing the most draconian aspects of the edicts, which no longer permitted an encomendero family holding the grant in perpetuity. In Peru, the implementation of the New Laws resulted in outright rebellion and the assassination of the viceroy.Condition:Edges lightly rubbed.

SYNOPSIS: There have been few periods of human history as significant or as dramatic as was the first half of the twentieth century in China. From the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 through to the final Communist victories in 1949, China was in the midst of social upheaval, revolution, and war. That half-century of change parallels the early career of Bob McClure, The United Church of Canada's extraordinary missionary surgeon who was born just after his parents escaped from the Boxer Rebellion and who was raised in China, educated in Canada and abroad, and returned to spend the first twenty-five years of his medical life in China. McClure: The China Years not only follows the adventures of a unique man but traces them against the fascinating and often awesome background of a changing China. During McClure's childhood the Manchu emperors are still in power. During his teens the First Republic is struggling for survival. It is the Age of the Warlords as McClure begins his service as a doctor. While he is pioneering with X-ray, radium, family planning, and rural medicine, China moves into the Sino-Japanese War and McClure becomes Field Director for The International Red Cross in North and Central China before going to the Burma Road to take command of a Quaker ambulance unit staffed by pacifists. While McClure is following the dictates of his conscience Chinese Nationalist soldiers attempt to execute him, the Japanese put a price on his had, the Chinese Communists black-list him, and Canada's Prime Minister, Mackenzie King, threatens to throw him in gaol. Bob McClure is a unique blend of missionary, surgeon, mechanic, and adventurer. In reflecting the man, McClure offers an unusual blend of drama, humour, and adventure combined with an intimate view of history-in-the-making. Munroe Scott was born in Owen Sound, Ontario, in 1927. He was raised in Ontario and educated at Queen's University (B.A.) and at Cornell University (M.A.). He has been a freelance writer and director in film and television for many years. He was writer/director for three outstanding CBC-TV series--One Canadian (The Diefenbaker memoirs), First Person Singular (The Pearson memoirs), and The Tenth Decade (The Diefenbaker-Pearson years). He has written many plays for TV, his most ambitious being Reddick, a three-hour drama in two parts. He has been Writer in Residence at the University of Guelph, has won the ACTRA Award for the Best Writer in the Dramatic Mode in Radio and has had a full length play, Wu-feng, produced by Toronto's prestigious St. Lawrence Centre. As a freelance filmwriter Mr. Scott has written many filmscripts for Berkeley Studio, the film production unit of The United church of Canada. Research for those documentary films has taken him to mission fields in the Caribbean, Africa, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Okinawa, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia. Many readers will remember his first book, African Manhunt, which was written as a result of a film assignment in Angola. Now, having recently completed the TV biographies of two fascinating Canadian Prime Ministers, Mr. Scott brings his talents to bear upon a biography of a third great Canadian, Dr. Bob McClure..
