William Fergusons classic photographic portrayal of the major
pre-Columbian ruins of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras is
now available from UNM Press in a completely revised edition.
Magnificent aerial and ground photographs give both armchair and
actual visitors unparalleled views of fifty-one ancient cities. The
restored areas of each site and their interesting and exotic
features are shown within each group of ruins. The authors have
thoroughly revised the text for this new edition, and they have
added over 30 new photographs and illustrations as well as a
completely new chapter by Richard E. W. Adams on regional states
and empires in ancient Mesoamerica.
Over a span of three thousand years between 1500 B.C. and A.D.
1500 great civilizations, including the Olmec, Teotihuacan, Maya,
Toltec, Zapotec, and Aztec, flourished, waned, and died in
Mesoamerica. These indigenous cultures of Mexico and Central
America are brought to life in "Mesoamericas Ancient Cities"
through stunning color photographs. The authors include the most
recent research and most widely accepted theoretical perspectives
on Mesoamerican civilizations. Ideal for the general reader as well
as scholars of Mesoamerica, this volume makes a significant
contribution to our knowledge of the Americas.
