Rodeo

Rodeo

An Animal History

by Susan Nance

Rodeo is a dangerous sport that reveals many westerners as people proudly tolerant of risk and violence, and ready to impose these values on livestock. In Rodeo: An Animal History, Nance pushes past standard histories and the sport’s publicity to show how rodeo was shot through with stubbornness and human failing as much as fortitude and community spirit.

The Conquest of Mexico

The Conquest of Mexico

500 Years of Reinventions

Edited by Peter B. Villella and Pablo García Loaeza

Preface by Matthew Restall

A valuable contribution to ongoing efforts to demythologize and properly memorialize the Spanish-Aztec War of 1519–21, this volume also aptly illustrates how we make history of the past and how that history-making shapes our present—and possibly our future.
 

An Open Pit Visible from the Moon

An Open Pit Visible from the Moon

The Wilderness Act and the Fight to Protect Miners Ridge and the Public Interest

by Adam M. Sowards

An Open Pit Visible from the Moon tells the story of this historic struggle to define the contours of the Wilderness Act—its possibilities and limits.
