Book Description
Meet the Cadillac Cowboys: Caleb T. James, Sam Rivers, Sage Smith and Jake Riley and Randy Hawk. These boys are rough and tough, dedicated rodeo buddies who travel the Montana Rodeo Circuit together, sharing glory and defeat at the hands of their opponents - the horses.It's a dangerous business and not always lucrative. The cowboys pay for the privilege of competing and many times limp away with fewer bucks in their pockets than they had before they settled into their bronc saddles.Tempers occasionally get the best of them, especially when Coors barley pop is introduced, but these boys stick together, keeping an eye on one another.Consequently, when Caleb T. James, the youngest and most volatile of the group, finds himself in a life-threatening situation against the Mexican drug cartel, the Cadillac Cowboys throw caution to the wind and jump smack dab into the middle of the fracas - even though the FBI has warned them to stay out of it.When circumstances escalate, they are joined by other cowboys who have a stake in the drug fight.Little do these bronc riders know they are about to experience the "rides" of their lives - a possible fight to the death for some.

Book Description
Gerard Loughlin is one of the leading theologians working at the interface between religion and contemporary culture. In this exceptional work, he uses cinema and the films it shows to think about the church and the visions of desire it displays. Discusses various films, including the Alien quartet, Christopher Nolan’s Memento, Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange, Nicolas Roeg’s The Man Who Fell to Earth and Derek Jarman’s The Garden. Draws on a wide range of authors, both ancient and modern, religious and secular, from Plato to Levinas, from Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar to André Bazin and Leo Bersani. Uses cinema to think about the church as an ecclesiacinema, and films to think about sexual desire as erotic dispossession, as a way into the life of God. Written from a radically orthodox Christian perspective, at once both Catholic and critical.

Book Description
The lives of American cowboys have been both real and mythic. This work explores cowboy music dress, humour, films and literature in sixteen essays and a bibliography. These essays demonstrate that the American cowboy is a knight of the road who, with a large hat, tall boots and a big gun, rode into legend and into the history books.

Book Description
Historians of the American West, perhaps inspired by NAFTA and Internet communication, are expanding their intellectual horizons across borders north and south. This collection of essays functions as a how-to guide to comparative frontier research in the Americas. Frontiers specialist Richard W. Slatta presents topics, techniques, and methods that will intrigue social science professionals and western history buffs alike as he explores the frontiers of North and South America from Spanish colonial days into the twentieth century. The always popular cowboy is joined by the fascinating gaucho, llanero, vaquero, and charro as Slatta compares their work techniques, roundups, songs, tack, lingo, equestrian culture, and vices. We visit saloons and pulperias as well as plains and pampas, and Slatta expertly compares clothing, weather, terrain, diets, alcoholic beverages, card games, and military tactics. From primary records we learn how Europeans, Native Americans, and African Americans became the ranch hands, cowmen, and buckaroos of the Americas, and why their dependence on the ranch cattle industry kept them bachelors and landless peons.
