Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Ancient Maya comes to life in this new holistic and theoretical study of the rise, florescence and decline of the cities of this most sophisticated civilization. Drawing on new, unpublished data, Arthur Demarest draws lessons for contemporary society and the modern Maya peoples struggling to re-emerge.
