Editorial : “The Huasteca amply displays the richness and conflicting interpretations of recent scholarship on the Huasteca past—a combination that should electrify new research efforts. In carefully crafted and well-illustrated chapters, the authors highlight ways in which different threads of evidence can best be addressed or reconciled. This volume is a must-have for Mesoamerican and Gulf lowland scholars.”—Barbara L. Stark coeditor of Olmec to Aztec: Settlement Patterns in the Ancient Gulf Lowlands
The Huasteca, a region on the northern Gulf Coast of Mexico, was for centuries a pre-Columbian crossroads for peoples, cultures, arts, and trade. Its multiethnic inhabitants influenced, and were influenced by, surrounding regions, ferrying unique artistic styles, languages, and other cultural elements to neighboring areas and beyond. In The Huasteca: Culture, History, and Interregional Exchange, a range of authorities on art, history, archaeology, and cultural anthropology bring long-overdue attention to the region’s rich contributions to the pre-Columbian world. They also assess how the Huasteca fared from colonial times to the present. The authors call critical, even urgent attention to a region highly significant to Mesoamerican history but long neglected by scholars. Editors Katherine A. Faust and Kim N. Richter put the plight and the importance of the Huasteca into historical and cultural context. They address challenges to study of the region, ranging from confusion
Michelle is everything Alex has ever wanted in a woman, she is adventurous, confident, sexy, gorgeous, good-hearted, and she has a meaningful job.

This book was a very good biography on Kenney and provided a lot of interesting background, anecdotes and legendary stories about the man and his artistic endeavors. Ask yourself this question: does my son or daughter actually enjoy and look forward to playing basketball, baseball, soccer, etc? If not, maybe they, and you, should look to put their energies in another direction.
Highly recommended.. Surprisingly, once she meets Michelle and she starts sitting around at the coffee house all day Saturday, mostly ogling Michelle but also working on her case, things change. I see it every time I go out. Amazing, astute, and awe-inspiring! In contrast to many other books on e
