La vida en el Texas contemporáneo (Life in Contemporary Texas)

Texas has a cultural identity all its own and this book introduces readers to the diverse influences that helped shape this identity. Readers explore the ways architecture, food, and even language in Texas are influenced by its close cultural and historical ties to Spain, Mexico, and Native American tribes. They will also discover the fascinating stories behind the lives of some of the most important cultural figures to come from this state. Detailed images, a glossary, sidebars, and graphic organizers add another level to readers' understanding. The Reader Response Projects section gives readers four projects to conduct, including making a book of Tex-Mex recipes.
