      <description><![CDATA[<h3><strong> (Editorial Agata, SCJ, Conaculta, 2003)</strong></h3>
Famous photographer Kal (Kalman) Muller who grew up in this Huichol Indian village in the sierrsas of Western Mexico documents the relatively new traditional of celebrating the  fiesta of San Andrés. A highly unusual book, which could only have been produced by a great anthropologist-photographer.

La Fiesta de San Andrés nos muestra un rostro diferente del pueblo <em>Wixarika</em> (Huichol). La nación <em>Wixarika</em> famosa en todo el mundo por sus peculiares y arraigadas tradiciones, ritos, fiestas y cosmovisión, lo que ellos mismos llaman <em>El Costumbre</em>, se nos muestra inovadora, dinámica y adaptable. El antropólogo Kalman Muller, quien se crió en esta misma comunidad de San Andrés, y quien ha tenido contacto permanente con la misma durante toda su vida es el encargado de traernos estos vivencias. Mismas que nacieron por iniciativa de la propia comunidad, bajo la invitación de Rosalío Rivera Sánchez "Chalío", para el legado histórico de las futuras generaciones <em>Wixarikas</em> y del mundo entero.

      <description><![CDATA[<dl><dd><strong>By Richard Perry (Espadaña Press, 1993.)</strong>
This illustrated guide describes over sixty of the colonial monasteries built by  missionaries in central Mexico and Oaxaca during the 16th century, after the Spanish  Conquest. Many of them are architectural masterpieces. Most of them house extraordinary  artistic treasures, whether in the form of murals, paintings, fonts or alterpieces. Very  few of them have ever been so adequately described in English. Anyone interested in the  history of Mexico's colonial period, or interested in the country's art and architecture,  will enjoy reading this book, even if they are unable to visit first-hand all the places  described. The book's value as a reference source is enhanced by dozens of original line  drawings, maps and plans, as well as a useful glossary, extensive bibliography and  complete index. 223 pages.

      <description><![CDATA[By Beldon Butterfield (Ediciones de la Noche, 2007).
This novel is set in the nether world of the Mexican drug trade, where men and women on both sides of the border wage an ill-fated "war on drugs" against a formidable enemy in command of an army of ruthless killers with endless resources.
Amid this amoral world of violence, a three way romance is forged between the striking and athletic DEA agent Fernanda Deering, the dashing but conniving Jaime Nuñez, a sub comandante in the PGR - Mexico's elite law enforcement agency - and George Redfield, a bon vivant bi-cultured Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
Born and raised in Argentina, Beldon Butterfield is a U.S.-educated author who came to Mexico with Time Inc. and now divides his time between Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende.
