Isabel I of Castile
Determined, clever, far-sighted, royal—definitely a person who played a role in changing the world—and here’s your chance to meet her up close and personal!
Marry Him!

The Alhambra
The Alhambra of Granada is one of the very few Islamic palaces to have survived almost intact since medieval times. Founded as a small fortress in the year 897, it was expanded to its present beauty in the 14th century by the Nasrid rulers of the Kingdom of Granada. After the conquest of Granada by Isabel and Fernando in 1492 (see pages 14–17), the Spanish monarchy championed its preservation for two centuries. A period of abandonment followed. In the 19th century, it was rediscovered after artists and travelers from across the world began to visit it. The most famous, an American writer named Washington Irving, even took residence within its crumbling walls. He wrote, “Such is the Alhambra…an elegant memento [reminder] of a brave, intelligent, and graceful people who conquered, ruled, and passed away.” In recent times, the Alhambra has been restored, excavated, and studied in detail. Today, it is the most visited historical site in Spain.

Into The Deep With Robots
Standing on a beach looking out to sea leads most of us to ponder the question, “I wonder what is out there?” The explorers among us grab a mask and snorkel to see for ourselves. Warm, sunny waters invite hands-on exploration, making for enjoyable vacations, but what about the vast majority of the oceans deeper than 40 meters (131 feet) and beyond the range of most SCUBA divers. Technological advances, driven by the military and the oil industry, have given archaeologists new tools to take them deeper. As a result, ocean exploration is becoming increasingly robotic.
