The Maya

180 pp. With 141 illustrations. "For this revised edition, in a new format and with additional illustrations, the author has expanded and updated the text, taking into account the wealth of new information that has come to light... Field research has pushed back the date of the earliest villages by a thousand years and shown that the subsistence base of the Classic Maya was more complex than previously thought; epigraphic discoveries have caused a Classic Maya dynastic history and politics; while the author's own researches into pictorial ceramics have revealed the macabre realm of the Maya Underworld."--jacket
