HAÏTI-FRANCE LES CHAÎNES DE LA DETTE: LE RAPPORT MACKAU (1825)
201p., facsimiles, tables, wrps. By an order from King Charles X of April 17, 1825, France recognized the independence of its colony of Saint-Domingue. This recognition is subject to the payment, by the Republic of Haiti, of a sum of 150 million gold francs intended to compensate the French colonists who lost the properties that they held in the colony, between 1791 and 1804. In July 1825, accompanied by a squadron, a senior officer of the French navy well introduced to the Court, Baron de Mackau, is responsible for delivering this order to the President of Haiti, Jean-Pierre Boyer. A-4Q & A-4E SKYHAWK
79p., photos, wrps. Even when the Skyhawk began its operational career in the early seventies, the Argentine Navy had been considering its incorporation for several years before. This undoubtedly dates back to October 1955, with the design of the future embarked air group. The planning of the Naval Aviation Command, taking into consideration different factors, provides for the activation of two to three embarked combat squadrons. In each case it was deemed necessary to have at least one squadron for day and night attack missions with Douglas AD-5 Skyraider aircraft, which was also suitable for torpedo, reconnaissance and exploration tasks. The efforts to purchase at least twelve Skyraiders did not find an echo with the US Navy, which only in 1959 could consider the sale of the AD-3C Skyraider. MEXICO IN NEW ORLEANS: A TALE OF TWO AMERICAS
84p., color plates, photos, b&w photos, bibl., wrps. "Orleans: A Tale of Two Americas", the first major museum exhibition to explore this artistic exchange.

The richly illustrated bilingual exhibition catalog tells the story of a decades-long dialogue between Mexican and Louisianan artists that has generated artistic affinities that persist into the present.

PALE KREYÒL, PALE AYISYEN; MO KREYÒL, MO AYISYEN.
296p., wrps. From the meaning of Quisqueya to the implications of Bill Clinton in Haiti's internal affairs, many of them provide opinions and some, scientific facts. I hope that these conversations will enlighten us and illuminate the weapons that are hidden inside to make the educational changes that require increasing the values of Haitians. Indeed, most of the dialogues fall into a socio-educational field where the reader will have the opportunity to enter a curriculum involving Haitian thought and human history in general. As for those who still live in the past, without the Internet and without a social network, much of the evolutionary knowledge prohibits them. SALTERIUM DAVIDIS LINGUA ARMENICA /SAGHMOSARAN; Psalter (translated title)
This is a very rare Armenian religious text featuring biblical psalms. The book was published by Antoni Bortolii Publisher in Venice in 1733. It measures 11.5 x 6.5 cm. There is only one copy in circulation, housed at the Armenian National Library. It was also digitized in 2014. Notably, there is a typo in the digitized copy, which mistakenly lists page 134 as 154. GLOSTER METEOR
67p., photos, wrps. Aeronautical technology advanced considerably during the course of the Second World War. Once it was completed, the need for the Argentine Air Force to replace all of its outdated combat aircraft, essentially single-engine propellers with fixed landing gear, such as the Curtiss 75 and Northrop 8A-2, became evident. The country's solid economic position favored the purchase of modern aircraft, although options were scarce. Great Britain undoubtedly stood out with the De Havilland Vampire and the Gloster Meteor. The first meetings held between parties, at the end of 1945, took place within the greatest reserve. The thing is that the talks revolved around nothing less than the transfer of the most advanced aerial weapons system of the time and that would give rise to friction between the two main allied powers, over the convenience of allowing this operation. Argentine interest was focused on the Gloster Meteor. APELLIDOS DE LA PATRIA VIEJA

Núñez Padín, Jorge Félix 75p., photos, wrps. Throughout 1967 the Naval Aviation Command dedicated itself to studying the replacement of its only combat jets, the Grumman F9F Panther, which had to be carried out in the shortest possible time. The new aircraft had to be capable of operating from the ARA (V-1) "Independence" aircraft carrier in order to maintain the embarked attack capacity - diminished since the retirement of the Vought F4U Corsair. As a conditioning factor, it had to be a two-seater suitable for training. So relevant was this capability that, after a transition period that would extend from 1969 to 1972, the selected model had to go to the Naval Aviation School, as a primary and basic jet trainer. Since the middle of the previous decade, Naval Aviation had been trying without success to obtain two-seat jets such as Lockheed T-33, Lockheed T2V SeaStar and Temco TT-1 Pinto.- $40

FERROCARRIL INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA: LA FABRICACIÓN DE MATERIAL RODANTE EN TALLERES NACIONALES
Campbell, Ricardo 153p., photos, tables, bibl., indices, wrps. The expansion of the railroad in Argentina towards the end of the nineteenth century made it necessary to build workshops to repair and maintain the growing rolling stock, and over time, also to manufacture it. The four large broad gauge companies, with British capital, and the General Administration of the State Railways invested significant sums in the local manufacture of a high percentage of the new cars and wagons that they incorporated into service from 1910 to 1930. Subsequently, the The state-owned company continued its industrial work and undertook a process of renewal and expansion of its transportation capacity. The photographs that constitute the heart of this book illustrate these processes and give unequivocal testimony of how railways in Argentina gave rise to the birth of an important metalworking industry and played a key role in the country's economic transformation.- $65
