A wonderful tale of how the wastefullness of a village became their downfall and why it is important to respect nature and her bounty. Very beautifully illustrated.....a favorite at our house

A wonderful and mandatory book for any Mexican War enthusiast. The best article is from one of the two Mexican historians, Miguel A. Gonzalez Quiroga. He examines the humanity on both sides. Mostly ignoring whose fault the war was, he writes a beautiful eulogy of the dead of both sides. Wonderful! The worst article was the other historian from Mexico, Josefina Zoraida Vazguez. She beats a dead horse. Her argument has been argued by American historians since the 60's. However, Sam Haynes's article on relations between the US, Mexico, and Britain is superb. It not only discusses the almost inevitable conflict with Britain and the US prior to the fighting at the Rio Grande, but also points out the why the British were not coming in to help Mexico. Another superb article was by Michael Roth's article on Journalism in the war. Roth's work is a must for those interested in the cultural side of the American soldiers experience in Mexico. Overall and excellent collection of work.

An Ear For Danger is a genuinely clever story from the Crimbusters series. It is not the best of the series but has a swift and intriguing plot, set in the well described Sierra Mountains - which, the auther takes time to note,literally means the Mountain Moutains. The plot centres on a burro (mule) named Blondie, and her mystifying connection with Jupiter Jones...

Bought at a visitor center in western New Mexico this tiny book was my lightweight companion (among other humans) during an eight day hike. The black and white drawings are added with comments on habitat and behaviour, size, weight etc. Many of the common mammals of NM are shown: From Black-tailed Jackrabbit to badger, bobcat, peccary. From Porcupine to Bighorn. Even a checklist and the scientific names are included. A very good compilation for the compromise between weight and content. Keep it allways in your pocket!

This is the best book ever! You HAVE to buy it! Tom is a genius and a very interesting person. Also a great storyteller. The book is excellent--I have several copies. You definitely won't regret this purchase!

Escuche este libro en mi carro mientras viaje a Arizona. El drama del romance me guardo la atencion por horas! Fui captivada!

Excellent book. This is not your ordinary, boring history of Mexico book. The reading flows very well. Learn everything: from the beginning of Cortez to Porfirio Diaz to Carlos Salinas. It will amaze you on how much information on Mexico they place in a 480+ page book. Great for history buffs like me

There are not nearly enough bilingual children's books available in this country, but Nancy Maria Grande Tabor writes some of the very best! They are beautiful books that are very educational and show cultural differences in a fun way...Great!

No sería la primera vez que nos conquistan. Nosotros los mexicanos somos tan apáticos que nos molesta más el ver perder a la selección de futbol soccer que ver a los políticos destruír nuestro país o preocuparnos de tropas estadounidenses invadiendo México.

Por otra parte, es bueno que un gringo explique la decadencia de su propio país, la cual se ve en hechos como el de Littleton, Colorado. El problema no es la restricción en la venta de armas, sino la falta de respeto a la vida humana y la perdida de los valores. Además, en México, tenemos las leyes más estrictas sobre la compra-venta de armas, pero los criminales mexicanos todavía tienen acceso a pistolas y rifles de asalto. Solo los mexicanos que acatan las leyes no tienen armas.

Mi padre, al ver la matanza de estudiantes en Littleton, Co. me preguntaba lo mismo que le preguntaron al Sheriff de esa comunidad ¿Qué se puede hacer para que esto no ocurra de nuevo? ¿Por qué no se hizo algo para prevenir eso? Yo coincido con el Sheriff, poco o nada puede hacerse: ni detectores de metales, ni restricción en la venta de armas, ni psicólogos podrán detener eso. EN OTRAS PALABRAS, tal y como dice este libro, lo único por hacer es buscar un lugar seguro para ver la función.

A los mexicanos nos encanta reirnos de las familias grotescamente obesas que vienen de vacaciones a nuestro país. Es tan cómico ver a papá gordo, mamá gorda y a tres lindos hijos gorditos. El autor nos explica porqué los gringos están tan gordos.

Para mí, este libro nos ofrece un panorama interesante: ser un expectador del surgimiento al poder de un futuro presidente de Estados Unidos, un "hombre fuerte" con mano de hierro y hasta donde podrá llegar para conservar el poder. Los países latinoamericanos hemos tenido bastantes gobernantes de ese tipo, pero sin duda que esto sería una novedad para Estados Unidos.

Una excelente reflexión de porque los mexicanos somos como somos... Polibio de Arcadia es el seudónimo que utiliza el escritor dandole un significado extra.
