Author. 159 Preface I spent my childhood summers in a swimming pool in my best friend’s backyard in suburban Los Angeles. Usually it was just the two of us and we would spend hours going down the slide, inventing new kinds of dives, or perfecting our splashing techniques. After lunch and maybe a monster movie on TV, we would head back for another few hours in the water. My family would also spend a week at beach at the end of every summer, and my sister and I would dedicate much of that to boogie boarding. I would fall asleep each night exhausted, feeling the swell of the waves as if I were still floating in the ocean. Southern California is dry, and maybe it was because the encounters I had with rivers and lakes were few and far between that the cold, clear freshwaters of the mountains filled my body and mind with a special kind of exuberant energy when I got a chance to swim in them. As I grew older, backpacking trips to the mountains became more frequent, and I had my first contacts with the strange, chthonic, social waters of hot springs. Throughout my college years and during a brief career as an archaeologist I was outdoors a lot, swimming and soaking when the opportunity arose. I learned to love water, and associate it with fun, freedom, adventure, and the beauty of nature. Graduate school in New York City was followed by a long period in Mexico City, during which I conducted PhD research and then worked at the Universidad Iberoamericana. The dissertation I wrote during that period, later a book, was about the political economy and culture of irrigated cotton agriculture in northern Mexico, which provided me with a different, more cerebral engagement with water. The topic was fascinating, and I loved piecing the story together, but the water in that research never felt like all those waters I felt earlier in my life: hot, cool, surg- ing with the waves, salty, invigorating, quenching, sulfurous. The water I read and xi xii Preface wrote about wasn’t really felt at all. It was a resource measured in cubic meters and liters per second; it belonged to cities, states, and nations and was the subject of treaties; it formed political boundaries, was delivered to farmers, moved by capil- lary action and evapotranspiration, was treated to comply with health standards. After my daughters were born I began a slow return, something like a migra- tory fish, to the waters I knew during my youth. I moved from Mexico City back to Southern California, this time to UC Santa Barbara and its nearby beaches. Watching the faces of my kids as I bathed them as infants, or as I held them when they learned to swim in the pool and Jacuzzi at our apartment building, or jumped around with them in the waves at the beach, revived those registers of the human experience of water that I had forgotten, ironically, while I was becoming an expert on the topic. The somewhat utopian project of raising children pushed me toward less intellectual, more affective engagements with the environment and with other people, and I found myself back in the waters, playing, splashing, socializing. And thinking: How are these feelings and ideas about water shaped socially, culturally, historically? This book is about Mexico, a country I love, my other home. And without all the people in Mexico the book would never have happened. I married Emiko Saldivar in Tlayacapan, Morelos, and our girls, Amaya and Naomi, were born in Mexico City. These three amazing women make me a better person, and give me all the reasons I need to work for a better world. The support and love of my extended family in Mexico has never wavered, and I gain strength from them all. I learned from Michiko about onsen, ofuro, and the importance of the bath; Américo shared with me a love of water that comes from growing up in a dry place. Aida Maria, Laura, Claudia y Serguei, Atis y Dani, all the Tios, Tias, Primos y Primas: I hope I haven’t bored you with my stories of hot springs. Great friends in Mexico City always received me when I was turning pages in archives and libraries. Thanks to Margarita, Claudio and Ibó, Roger and Cris, Adriana and Bensi, Jorge and Catalina for the love and memories. Colleagues have generously engaged me across all those institutional, intel- lectual, linguistic, and cultural borders, never questioning too much how my interest in the economic history of irrigated agriculture morphed into a project about swimming and bathing. Special thanks to Mario Cerutti, Eva Rivas, Arturo Carrillo, Cirila Quintero, Araceli Almaraz, and everyone else in the Asociación de Historia Económica del Norte de México, for all the intellectual engagements, comments on papers, and camaraderie over the years. And to Luis Aboites, a special thanks for providing detailed comments, yet again, on a manuscript that shrinks before the example of his scholarship.

The land the new neighborhood was to be built on bordered a little pre-Hispanic town called Azta calco, which means “in the house of the herons.” In the eighteenth century, this town was re-baptized Romita (“little Rome”) be cause it had a beautiful tree-lined avenue (Chapultepec Avenue) that went all the way to the Chapultepec forest, which was very similar to one that existed in Rome, Italy. When the land for the new development was laid out, it took the name of the old town.

This phenomenon, influenced by complex religious beliefs, included several practices such as decapitation, cranial deformation, and the use of human cranial bones for skull mask manufacturing. Archaeological evidence suggests that all of these practices required specialized knowledge of skull base and upper cervical anatomy. The authors con- ducted a systematic search for information on skull base anatomical and surgical knowledge among Mesoamerican civilizations. A detailed exposition of these results is presented, along with some interesting information extracted from historical documents and pictorial codices to provide a better understanding of skull base surgical practices among these cultures. Paleoforensic evidence from the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan indicates that Aztec priests used a specialized decapitation technique, based on a deep anatomical knowledge.

  • Naturists for a Day
    Wed., 9/21/11 NATURISTS FOR A DAY The northwestern United States and southwestern Canada boast an abundance of mountains. The Pacific coastal range extends almost continuously from the southernmost tip of California to the northernmost corner of British Colombia and around coastal Alaska. These mountains are part of the “Pacific Ring of Fire,” a term which refers to the active geology that exists all the way around the Pacific Ocean, affecting every coast it touches. The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the Pacific Ocean (or rather, the “plate” of earth’s crust beneath it) floats about on top of the molten core of the earth and bumps up against continents. Where the ocean and the continents meet, the pressure between them forces molten lava to the surface of the earth. After thirty million years of bumping, exploding, and oozing, the hardened lava forms majestic, cone-shaped mountains, many of which still contain fire at their cores. The volcanoes occasionally spew lava, rocks, gases, ash, and steam, and once in a great while, they blow their tops, as Mount St. Helens did in Washington State in 1980. More often, though, the heat that is generated by the earth’s plates grinding into one another is released more slowly through cracks and fissures in the volcano. Underground reservoirs of water are heated, expand, and are forced to the surface, producing hotsprings whose temperatures range anywhere from 90- to 160-degrees Fahrenheit. These natural pools are loaded with dissolved minerals from the earth that long have been believed to carry healing powers.

  • Ixtapan De La
    Ixtapan de la Sal (Iztapan, proviene del Náhuatl y se compone de iztatl que significa sal y pan que significa en o sobre y su significado es "€ œen la sal"€ • o "€ œsalinas"€ •. Iztac blanco, de atl agua y de pan en y significa "€ œen aguas blancas"€ • o "sobre la sal") es una localidad mexicana que se encuentra a 135 kilómetros al suroeste de la México en el estado de México. Destaca como un centro turístico importante del estado de México, tiene una temperatura calurosa casi todo el año. Con la característica de ser considerado uno de los centros turísticos más importantes del Estado de México, Ixtapan de la Sal se localiza a 135 Kilómetros al suroeste del Distrito Federal y a 85 Kilómetros al sur de la ciudad de Toluca, capital del Estado de México. Debido a la benignidad de su clima, con una temperatura promedio de 18 grados centígrados, y por sus manantiales de aguas termales con propiedades curativas, este lugar de tranquilidad provinciana, ha sido sitio propicio para el desarrollo de balnearios que cuentan con modernas instalaciones y excelentes servicios turísticos. El nombre de Ixtapan de la Sal es de origen náhuatl, y significa “sobre la sal”. Un hermoso paseo arbolado de Jacaranda y una glorieta con la escultura de la Diana Cazadora dan la bienvenida al visitante a Ixtapan de la Sal, lugar que antiguamente fuera habitado por grupos matlatzincas, y en donde actualmente se puede admirar una típica población remodelada. La historia indica que, consumada la Conquista, los españoles se establecieron en la región poco después de la Conquista de México, dejando huella con la arquitectura colonial, misma que puede ser admirada en la Parroquia de la Asunción, cuya portada principal es uno de los mejores ejemplos del estilo plateresco, queda en el interior la escultura de un Cristo de caña al tamaño natural conocido por los lugareños como el Señor del Perdón.
