This book covers the vast field of sculpture produced by traditional societies of the non-Western world. The sculptures range from the delicate and affectionate ivory carvings of the Eskimo hunters of the Arctic to the dignified King figures of the Bakuba people of Central Africa. The wealth and variety of these works of art, only recently appreciated by Europeans, is one of the great cultural inheritances of mankind. This lively and authoritative work examines the thinking behind the creation of such sculptures, describes the virtuoso skills and imaginative powers of their creators and shows how different materials and techniques influence the sculptural forms produced.

Peter Manuel's name still chills the spine of a generation in the West of Scotland. Fifty years after he was hanged in Barlinnie prison, the memory of this American-born killer is still fresh in the minds of those who lived through the two terrible years of his murderous rampage in the suburbs of Glasgow. Branded the "Beast of Birkenshaw," Manuel used skills he learned in Peterhead Prison to avoid detection and jeered at the police as they bungled their investigation, before finally being trapped by his own vanity and arrogance. Manuel was charged with eight murders but is reputed to have killed many more while on the loose. His roller-coaster trial in Glasgow High Court, billed as "the trial of the century," was headline news across the world and enthralled and astonished the nation as evidence of his terrible crimes unfolded. He implicated major underworld figures in his crimes and revealed Glasgow's sinister gangster activities in the process. More drama was to follow as he fired his legal team and set about defending himself with creditable ability. In an electrifying courtroom scene, he confronted William Watt and accused him of killing his own wife and daughter. Despite these fireworks, he was convicted of seven capital murders and sentenced to death, aged 31. A sexual predator and psychopath, Manuel's crimes confronted the police and the Scottish public with a new type of crime—the serial killer. This is his chilling story.

Peter Manuel was an icy-eyed psychopath and sexual predator, a petty thief and a relentless liar given to violent and uncontrollable rages. His unprecedented crimes presented the Scottish police and public with a new sort of criminal: the ruthless serial killer. Manuel was hanged at the age of 31 and convicted of seven murders, but suspected of many more. He slew many of his victims as they lay sleeping in bed, while others were picked up in lonely places and strangled or savagely beaten to death. Right up to his final arrest, he played a taunting game with the police, mocking their bungling attempts to trap him and continuing to kill with impunity—that is until he was trapped by his own vanity and arrogance. This definitive biography recounts Manuel's chilling story from his birth in the USA to the moment the hangman's rope snapped his spine in Glasgow's notorious Barlinnie Prison.

The story of the cattle barons has often overshadowed the experiences of the common cowboy on whose labor the ranchers’ wealth was built. Malcolm McLeod recorded the life of privation and danger of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century mixed-blood cowboy. He worked for cattle owners across Montana and in southern British Columbia and eastern Washington. Born in Washington Territory in 1870 of Scotch, French Canadian, and Chippewa Indian heritage, McLeod traveled countless miles over the years. But home remained the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana, where he was enrolled and allotted land. McLeod worked for Charles Allard, one of the largest stock owners on the Flathead Reservation. He herded Allard’s famous buffalo herd and even rode buffalo for Allard’s short-lived Wild West Show in 1893. In later years McLeod tried his hand at farming, at a harness and shoe repair shop, and in the taxi business, but these enterprises never provided the excitement and danger of his cowboy work. It was the labor and experiences of men like McLeod that built the modern Flathead Reservation community and economy.
