La anatomía de los once pueblos de Michoacán

This first book written by a geographer and explorer, a pupil of Carl Sauer and a member of the referred "Berkeley School" —the most important ideological geographic movement of North America in the 20th century— offers us an excellent focus about the urban geography of 11 villages in Michoacan, with the purpose of explaining constructs and modified parts —often suddenly and paradoxically—, throughout hundreds of years, done by the inhabitants and governors. This analysis breaks two of the most recurring myths of the modern scientific thinking: The first one reduces the scientific doing to the rigurous cuantitative analysis of reality, not taking into accout the perspective of cualitative data, thus ignoring social sciences. The second one disdains the analysis of the context, being perceived as a microcosmos that after being walked makes us "think only with the feet".

The opus of Stalisnawski (1903-1997), besides enjoyable and revealing, is a good example of the demythifying of science constructed as myth and religion.
