| Title: Ć rale! Lowrider |
| Sub-title: Custom Made in New Mexico |
| Other adaptation by: Don J Usner Interviewer: Katherine Ware |
| ISBN10-13: 0890136173 : 9780890136171 |
| Lowriding is a beloved cultural tradition in New Mexico, especially the northern communities and villages including EspaƱola, also known as the lowrider capital of the world. The classic car fixed up for shows and cruising has become a symbol of Hispano and community pride for the car aficionados, artists, and mechanics whose lives are immersed in the culture. They flaunt their cars in publiclocals and tourists admire classic lines, upholstered interiors, and shiny chrome hubcaps when they pass by. It isnt surprising they captured the eye of other artists who have photographed the beauty and uniqueness of this art form. Thanks to them, we have a wonderful forty-year record of the cars and their makers as well as their homeland. Photographs by New Mexicos most renowned documentarians such as Alex Harris, Jack Parsons, Miguel Gandert, Annie Sahlin, Meridel Rubenstein, Don J. Usner, and Siegfried Halus are included alongside photographers newer on the scene, creating a fascinating compilation of lowriders over time. From the magnificent views of New Mexicos gorgeous landscape through the interior of a lowrider by Alex Harris, to Jack Parsons iconic lowrider images that were published in the classic MNM Press book, Low n slow: Lowriding in New Mexico, to Miguel Gandert and Don Usners cultural take on lowriders and their communities, we are able to look back at an enduring but evolving tradition. In his essay, Don J. Usner provides an insightful overview of lowriding in New Mexico, how it evolved, the culture, and the car makers themselves who are also known as lowriders. In his intimate interviews with lowriders, he records in their own words what lowriding means to them as they mourn lost friends and familyicons in the communityand discuss generational shifts and trends |

| Title: Adventures in Physics & Pueblo Pottery |
| Sub-title: Memoirs of a Los Alamos Scientist |
| By (author): Francis H Harlow With: Dwight P Lanmon |
| ISBN10-13: 0890136157 : 9780890136157 |
| Francis H Harlow (1928-present) is a world class physicist, an expert on Pueblo Indian pottery and Southwest sea fossils, an accomplished painter and cellist. In this memoir, the retired Los Alamos scientist and scholar looks back on his life and career, including his fifty years as a theoretical physicist at one of the U.S.'s top research facilities. He considers his study of Pueblo pottery a "hobby", though it draws on archaeology, history and ethnography, as well as interactions and interviews with living and deceased potters (including Maria Martinez). This book highlights the Museum of Indian Art (Santa Fe) Harlow Pottery Collection. |

| Title: Albuquerque in Our Time |
| Sub-title: 30 Voices, 300 Years |
| By (author): Debra Hughes |
| ISBN10-13: 0890134812 : 9780890134818 |
| Albuquerque, New Mexico, a city astride a great river, celebrates its teicentennial with thirty of its most colourful citizens sharing in their own words memories of a place and time after the second world war, when a modern city's character and landscape were being shaped. Stop in for a meal at Duran's Pharmacy, Wander down Central to the corner of First, the city's historic centre. Visit the creaky memories of Old Town and smell the coffee in Las Barelas. Stroll the winding street of Martinez Town or thrill to a rise in a hot-air balloon at the State Fair. Nob Hill in the south-east heights, circa 1940, imagined itself out of the desert scrub. By 1950 housing subdivisions began to crawl toward the Sandias, and downtown saw its heyday along with the inevitability of its decline. Preservation and conservation found their way onto the city stage, and today a revitalisation movement has breathed new life into old town and downtown. |
