Nice introduction to the Mayans
Quick read with clear insights
Mayan civilization
Amazing
Disappointing
Way too short to give the reader a look at the Maya from the beginning until now. Book avoids many of the more troubling aspects of Mayan life, and serves more as an “executive summary” than as a book that truly imparts history to the reader.
