Beautiful Maya
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is basically a coffee table book. Nice pictures, easy text, not too deep. A good reference if you want to choose which Maya big spots you want to visit in your next vacation. It does suffer from not reflecting more recent advances on the interpretation on Maya history, such as the Toltec influence. But it is not apparently the objective of the book. This reviewer thinks that what the author wants is for you to get interested in the Maya civilization, to respond to the beauty and greatness of its art, to give to research and protection funds... All very commendable goals but perhaps a little too weak for the more historically minded. Yet, even this last one can have a fine time reviewing this book which is always a nice reminder of the places we saw, or want to visit someday.
