For the first time, the whole story of Western bronzes is told -- sumptuously illustrated, fully documented, and with an introduction by the renowned authority on Western Art. Author and collector Broder "interlaces" biographical and critical insights, exploring the "recurring themes of Western bronze sculpture and the lives of their most famous interpreters: the Indian as a 'noble savage,'...the beauty of animals in the wilderness,...the bond of affection uniting a cowboy and his horse under nature's skies,...the stampeding of buffalo and calvalry troops over the dust-filled plains,...the fortitude of pioneer men and women in the harsh drama of Western migration and settlement,...the bloody suppression of the Indian's civilization,...and the renewed ethnic pride of the Indians today in the solemn beauty of their rituals.

Kenji Miyazawa (1896 –1933) was a Japanese novelist and poet of children's literature from Hanamaki, Iwate, in the late Taisho and early Showa periods. He was also known as an agricultural science teacher, a vegetarian, a cellist, devout Buddhist, and utopian social activist. Kenji's work gained its reputation posthumously, and enjoyed a boom by the mid-1990s on his centenary. A museum dedicated to his life and works was opened in 1982 in his hometown. Many of his children's stories have been adapted as anime, most notably Night on the Galactic Railroad. Many of his tanka and free verse poetry, translated into many languages, are still popular today., M.E. Sharpe, 1991., 0<
