Mission35


Book Description

Imagine having the financial security to pursue your dreams. Imagine not having to live paycheck to paycheck. Imagine living a life with no limitations. What’s stopping you from turning this dream into a reality? The answer for many of us, is fear. The fear of the first step often paralyzes us from taking any at all. The fear of making a mistake is among our greatest. Mission35 shares the story of Brian Hogben, a mortgage broker in Hamilton, Ontario, whose path to success was not without its fair share of mistakes. It was through trial and many errors, Brian learned the lessons that only these mistakes could teach. He insists he would not be the successful business owner he is today without these experiences. Perhaps you’ve experienced your fair share as well – you’ve taken the first step in pursuit of your passion and been shut out or shot down. Brian encourages you to persevere through these challenges. He believes the right decisions today can lead to your financial security tomorrow, and he wants to show you how. Make this book the first step in your journey and the springboard to launch your own dreams – the world is waiting!

Regional Conflict and Demographic Patterns on the Jesuit Missions among the Guaraní in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries


Book Description

In the 17th and 18th centuries Spain and Portugal contested control of the disputed Rio de la Plata borderlands. The Jesuit missions among the Guarani played an important role in regional conflict through the provision of manpower for campaigns and supplies. However, regional conflict and particularly the mobilization of the mission militia and the movement of soldiers on campaign had demographic consequences for the populations of the missions such as the spread of contagion. This study documents regional conflict in the Rio de la Plata, the militarization of the Jesuit missions, and the demographic consequences of conflict for the mission populations.
