I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in Guatemala

The best-selling account of the life of Latin American peasant woman and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Now a global bestseller, the remarkable life of Rigoberta Menchú, a Guatemalan peasant woman, reflects on the experiences common to many Indian communities in Latin America. Menchú suffered gross injustice and hardship in her early life: her brother, father and mother were murdered by the Guatemalan military. She learned Spanish and turned to catechistic work as an expression of political revolt as well as religious commitment. Menchú vividly conveys the traditional beliefs of her community and her personal response to feminist and socialist ideas. Above all, these pages are illuminated by the enduring courage and passionate sense of justice of an extraordinary woman.

By the best selling author of The Selfish Gene ‘This entertaining and thought-provoking book is an excellent illustration of why the study of evolution is in such an exciting ferment these days.’ Science ‘The Extended Phenotype is a sequel to The Selfish Gene …he writes so clearly it could be understood by anyone prepared to make the effort’ John Maynard Smith, London Review of Books ‘Dawkins is quite incapable of being boring this characteristically brilliant and stimulating book is original and provocative throughout, and immensely enjoyable.’ G. A. Parker, Heredity ‘The extended phenotype is certainly a big idea and it is pressed hard in dramatic language.’ Sydney Brenner, Nature ‘Richard Dawkins, our most radical Darwinian thinker, is also our best science writer.’ Douglas Adams ‘Dawkins is a superb communicator. His books are some of the best books ever written on science.’ Megan Tressider, Guardian ‘Dawkins is a genius of science popularization.’ Mark Ridley, The Times

The Quotable Cowboy

The Age of the Cowboy, according to historians, lasted a mere fourteen years, yet everywhere today we can see the mark that he made upon this land.

Cowboys remind us of a time when life was simple, when everything was black and white, and when hope lay upon the horizon like a pale rising sun. We are the heirs to their myth and to their legacy. We do something because it is “the cowboy way,” we “cowboy up” to adversity, we “cowboy through” a difficult task. Popular culture has immortalized the Old West through novels, radio, TV, and films, and in this volume, you will find more than four hundred of the best quotations that capture its spirit. You’ll marvel at the cowboy’s courage and perseverance and come to know him like you have never known him before, through the words that he has uttered or cared about enough that he wrote them down for posterity, as well as the words of scores of novelists, journalists, and historians, including:
>Rex Allen Texas
>Bix Bender
>Buck Brannaman
>Calamity Jane
>J. Frank Dobie
>John Ford
>Jane Frost
>Wild Bill Hickok
