who we are, etc.

A couple weeks ago I recommended a book I thought would shed much light on the thread regarding who we are, illegitimate births, inheritance, secret baptisms, firing squads, a-holes, sangre limpia, etc., etc. There were no follow up posts generated from that recommendation. However, I did receive 3 private emails stating they had reviewed the book preview and  they  all thought "more of us" should read it. . All three stated it was "difficult" to find and get to the proper site, book, chapter, etc. and wished I could make it easier to preview. With that intent, I have included here-in below a direct link to one chapter that I hope you also find thought provoking.

I believe, that without neccesarily believing everything in this link, it's certainly possible  to help us put our history into perpective. Remember, this is written by accredited university researchers without a particular agenda.  My hope is that this will generate a thoughtfull discussion about from "whence we came".
