Paperback
Description
This edition has been enlarged and entirely revised.
Professor Coe places new emphasis on the pre-classic period and an additional chapter highlights evidence for overpopulation and deforestation as the prime causes of the catastrophic southern Maya collapse in the 9th century AD.
However, the focus remains upon the classic period, with its magnificent art and architecture.
In a new final chapter Professor Coe pays tribute to the six million or more contemporary Maya, guardians of so many of the ancient traditions.
Michael D. Coe's many other books include "Breaking the Maya Code" (Thames and Hudson, 1992).
