Beginning in 1974, the Anschultz Collection, an assemblage of over five hundred paintings of the American West, exhibited throughout the United States and in eight foreign countries. It was returned to Denver in February 1990 after an acclaimed tour of the Soviet Union. West, West, West is the revised English-language version of the award-winning catalog that accompanied the collection's USSR tour. Curator Elizabeth Cunningham has adapted the historical essay, originally written for a Russian audience, to provide an assessment of the events, locales, issues, and personalities important to the American West. She touches on key issues such as how American literature shaped ideas about the West, what role artists played in government explorations of the area, and how their paintings documented successive and overlapping frontiers. The catalog features eighty-four color plates of the collection's most important paintings, which are juxtaposed with sixty-eight artist biographies. New major acquisitions are presented in this edition that have not been reproduced elsewhere, such as William Jacob Hay's The Gathering of the Herds, Alfred Jacob Miller's Breaking Up Camp at Sunrise, and Albert Bierstadt's Wind River, Wyoming. The chronological arrangement of the text and color reproductions parallels the successive generations of artists who provided visual documentation of the West from the 1820s to the 1970s. The catalog includes paintings of American fold hero Daniel Boone and of exotic Spanish vaqueros by William Tylee Ranney and Charles Christian Nahl, of dashing cowboys and free-roaming Blackfeet Indians by Frederic Remington and Charles Russell, and of romantic nineteenth-century and modernist twentieth-century landscapes by Thomas Moran and Georgia O'Keeffe. Other highlights of this edition include a full-color topographical map with a chronology listing key dates in the history of the American West and a preface by the collector.

For the millions of readers fascinated by Dan Brown’s revelations about Mary Magdalen in The Da Vinci Code, here, at last, is their chance to meet the Gospel’s most provocative woman face to face—on her own terms.
Make way for a new Magdalen. Born on a Celtic isle to eight warrior-witch mothers, Maeve is raised to be as brave as any hero. In her stubborn, enchanting voice, she recounts her perilous quest for the young man, Esus, whose life she once saved from druid sacrifice. Captured and sold to a Roman Madam, Maeve is sustained by a fierce sense of identity, compassion for her sister whores, and her unquenchable love. When she wins her freedom and finds her lost lover, a stormy life begins for both as we follow the Passion story through the eyes of Jesus’s partner—disciple to no man. Not even the One she loves. By turns feisty and funny, outrageous and tender, this Celtic Mary Magdalen challenges all stereotypes, both old and New Age, and brings us to transforming encounter with the divine feminine made flesh.
Elizabeth Cunningham is the author of the novels The Return of the Goddess and The Wild Mother. She comes from nine generations of Episcopal priests. Though she managed to avoid becoming an Episcopal priest, she was ordained as an interfaith minister of spiritual counsel in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. She balances writing with a counseling practice.
