Paperback. The Temporal Witnesses Volume 5: Classical Flourishing They have always gone together. This time they go to different centuries, alone. Eight months ago Cuchu Ramirez and Matias Kim were two teenagers frightened of a school board. Now they train forty students a week in five schools and three countries, and the work has grown past the two of them. So Dr. Sarah Crow Feather brings two more. Sofia Reyes thinks out loud in probabilities and cannot stop talking. James Running Wolf can barely be got to speak, and his grandfather told him the family gift skips generations and always comes back. Neither of them will travel. They will hold the connection from a Seattle apartment while Cuchu goes to one past and Matias goes to another. Two Societies. Two Travellers, Separately. One Attack on What People Can Remember. TEOTIHUACAN, 150 CE: A city of sixty thousand people with more arriving every season, most of its ground already laid out, an avenue running between painted compounds toward the pyramids. Three districts are arguing about water in a dry season, and Cuchu is put in front of forty of their representatives and told to ask her questions. Her first attempt comes apart in the courtyard while she is standing in the middle of it. HOPEWELL, OHIO, 250 CE: Geometric earthworks in autumn woodland, and a web of obligations that reaches the Great Lakes, the Gulf Coast and the mountains, with no capital and nobody at the top of it. Copper, mica and obsidian are fetched in person across thousands of miles. Matias lays out the whole continent on the ground in stones and twigs, forty people agree the picture is true, and then the runner who spent all day teaching him says no, in front of all of them, and is right. While they are gone, the Patrimony Foundation 2.0 stops working on what children are taught and starts working on what people can remember. Cuchu wakes on Wednesday with Tuesday missing. What comes back from both journeys is smaller than anybody wanted and harder to argue with. A council that settles nothing while the city meets the dry season anyway. A refusal from a man who could have taught the routes to a child in an afternoon and could not hand over who opens the door at the ninth house. And a librarian who has to be got back one visitor at a time, by eleven people, most of whom have never been in the room where any of this was planned. Ten chapters, two societies, and the first journey Cuchu and Matias do not take side by side. Perfect for fans of: Ursula K. Le Guin's ethical complexity, Octavia E. Butler's questions about who carries the past, and anyone who wants to know what a city of sixty thousand people looked like on an ordinary working morning. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

They have always gone together. This time they go to different centuries, alone.
Eight months ago Cuchu Ramirez and Matias Kim were two teenagers frightened of a school board. Now they train forty students a week in five schools and three countries, and the work has grown past the two of them.
So Dr. Sarah Crow Feather brings two more. Sofia Reyes thinks out loud in probabilities and cannot stop talking. James Running Wolf can barely be got to speak, and his grandfather told him the family gift skips generations and always comes back. Neither of them will travel. They will hold the connection from a Seattle apartment while Cuchu goes to one past and Matias goes to another.
Two Societies. Two Travellers, Separately. One Attack on What People Can Remember.
TEOTIHUACÁN, 150 CE: A city of sixty thousand people with more arriving every season, most of its ground already laid out, an avenue running between painted compounds toward the pyramids. Three districts are arguing about water in a dry season, and Cuchu is put in front of forty of their representatives and told to ask her questions. Her first attempt comes apart in the courtyard while she is standing in the middle of it.
HOPEWELL, OHIO, 250 CE: Geometric earthworks in autumn woodland, and a web of obligations that reaches the Great Lakes, the Gulf Coast and the mountains, with no capital and nobody at the top of it. Copper, mica and obsidian are fetched in person across thousands of miles. Matias lays out the whole continent on the ground in stones and twigs, forty people agree the picture is true, and then the runner who spent all day teaching him says no, in front of all of them, and is right.
While they are gone, the Patrimony Foundation 2.0 stops working on what children are taught and starts working on what people can remember. Cuchu wakes on Wednesday with Tuesday missing.
What comes back from both journeys is smaller than anybody wanted and harder to argue with. A council that settles nothing while the city meets the dry season anyway. A refusal from a man who could have taught the routes to a child in an afternoon and could not hand over who opens the door at the ninth house. And a librarian who has to be got back one visitor at a time, by eleven people, most of whom have never been in the room where any of this was planned.
Ten chapters, two societies, and the first journey Cuchu and Matias do not take side by side.
Perfect for fans of: Ursula K. Le Guin's ethical complexity, Octavia E. Butler's questions about who carries the past, and anyone who wants to know what a city of sixty thousand people looked like on an ordinary working morning.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.

El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
