An excellent resource, Handbook of Mesoamerican Mythology introduces readers to the mythology of Mexico and Central America, with its primary focus on Mexican Highland and Maya areas based upon their importance to Mesoamerican history.

An extensive and edifying introduction defines the nature of myth, the Mesoamericans as a people, and the cultural worldview underlying their myths. Next, the Handbook presents historical and mythological timelines, with each time period and cultural group fully defined and with readings and additional references suggested where appropriate. Also featured is a quick geographical and historical survey of Mesoamerica from the Paleoindian Era to the present, as well as a discussion of some of the challenges and possibilities that structure Mesoamerican studies. An annotated bibliography, an extensive reference list, and a glossary are included and pronunciation guides are given throughout.
