have read the book in spanish., but like with aztec I think i will enjoy it more in the english language

This book is a wonderful historical record of New Mexico politics in the 20th Century. Filled with insightful anecdotes and provoking commentary. Bruce King is a very important figure in N.M. It's scary to think that he almost didn't write this book. I highly recommend.

I especially loved this book because two of the cowboys featured are my cousin, Randy Biebelle and his son, Brandon.

It teaches about history and shows how to make very unique artistic crafts. I have never seen a craft book where the crafts you learn to make look like they belong in a museum. With the guidance of this comprehensive book i proudly made the Aztec bowl using things i had around the house.

Coming from South Texas as I do, I automatically cast a wary eye on any Mexican cookbook. This book contains recipes of wellknown restaurants from all around. It has expanded my own repertoire beyond just our own local version of Tex-Mex. And, the kids love making our own sopaipillas! Yummy!

The author, Jean A. Meyer, took the great challenge of writing on the immensely controversial subject matter. His dynamic coverage of all aspects concerning, La Cristiada, is truly an ingenius accomplishment. It gives the reader the liberty of reading his journal-like manuscript, with ease and confidence. Knowing that it is a complete work.

Crossing examines mexican immigration from the most important angle

Used this book extensively when we cruised the Caribbean and never had a reason to criticize any information. Entry and exit instructions were explict and correct. We did exactly as he recommended and had no problems. Direction for sailding from Cuba to Mexico were right on and tips about sailing down the Mexican coast were helpful. Belize info was great as was the info about Guatemala!

"Cuentos de Cuanto Hay" is a great collection of over sixty folktales collected by the young J. Manuel Espinosa in the early 1930s in the Spanish-speaking regions of northern New Mexico. Originally published in Spanish as "Spanish Folktales from New Mexico" (American Folklore Society, 1937), the tales are here translated for the first time by the well-known New Mexico storyteller Joe Hayes. The book is the first substantial collection of Spanish-language stories from New Mexico available in English. Arranged in a parallel-text format, the Spanish version and the translation are made readily accessible to the student learning Spanish (although it has no vocabulary list), yet the stories have not been "dumbed-down" for language-learning purposes and can be enjoyed by anyone. Espinosa has written a short historical introduction and Hayes includes some brief linguistic notes.

I did find one potential flaw with the book, though. Espinosa's original Spanish versions published in 1937 have been modernized by Hayes. By updating archaisms and standardizing the grammar and some vocabulary, the translator has sought to make the stories more widely accessible to English speakers learning Spanish. This is fine, but you should be aware of the changes. Personally, since I have an interest in Spanish linguistics and have been studying some of the New Mexico dialect, I found the changes a loss. But the original versions are available elsewhere and only you can decide which one you prefer. Even with the linguistic changes, the book deserves five stars and more.

Loved the writing, loved the pictures, loved the clear directions using available ingredients and REALLY loved the food. I'm usually happy with a cookbook if I make two recipes more than once. Do far, I've made all the recipes I've tried repeatedly and have several more selected to sample.
