Arizona
A History, Revised Edition
Now, just in time for Arizona’s centennial, Sheridan has revised and expanded this already top-tier state history to incorporate events and changes that have taken place in recent years. Addressing contemporary issues like land use, water rights, dramatic population increases, suburban sprawl, and the US–Mexico border, the new material makes the book more essential than ever. It successfully places the forty-eighth state’s history within the context of national and global events. No other book on Arizona history is as integrative or comprehensive.
Along These Highways
Rene Perez has the ability to stop time. In fact, time stops as soon as you start reading one of his short stories. You find yourself transported into the minds and lives of people you thought you didn’t know. Suddenly they are your best friends. They live in Texas. Most of them are Hispanic. But their problems are universal.

Ideologies in Archaeology
Contributors to this volume focus on elements of life in past societies that “went without saying” and uncover complex manipulations of power that have often gone unrecognized. They show that Occam’s razor—the tendency to favor simpler explanations—is sometimes just an excuse to avoid dealing with the historical world in its full complexity.

A Symmetrical Ethnography
With theoretical foundations in medical and Amazonian anthropology, Kelly shows how Amerindian cosmology shapes concepts of the state at the community level. His symmetrical anthropology treats white and Amerindian perceptions of each other within a single theoretical framework, thus expanding our understanding of the groups and their mutual influences. This book will be valuable to scholars and students of Amazonian peoples, medical anthropology, development, and Latin American studies.
