In this groundbreaking work of science, history, and archaeology,
Charles C. Mann radically alters our understanding of the Americas
before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.
Contrary to what so many Americans learn in school, the
pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine
wilderness; rather, there were huge numbers of Indians who actively
molded and influenced the land around them. From the astonishing
Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, which had running water,
immaculately clean streets, and was larger than any contemporary
European city, to the Mexican corn that was so carefully created in
a specialized breeding process that it has been called man's first
feat of genetic engineering, Indians were not living lightly on the
land but were landscaping and manipulating their world in ways that
we are only now beginning to understand. Challenging and
surprising, this a transformative new look at a rich and
fascinating world we only thought we knew.
