A Short Account of the Maya - By: , 15 Jul 1999
Michael Coe tells the story of the Maya civilisationin his usual vivid & captivating style. Latest notes from the excavationsin Nakbe, Guatemala bring this account pretty up-to-date. Shorter & less comprehensive than "The Ancient Maya" by R. Sharer, but this is a much quicker read. Great for anyone interestedin finding out the basic facts about the Maya of Central America.

Excellent read for those interested in the ancient Mayas - By: , 29 Jun 1999
This book contains a condensed history of an ancient civilisation, which we know so little about. However, the author has managed to collate scattered pieces of information into a very readable yet pertinent book. If you are planning a trip down to Mexico or Guatemala to see the pyramids, I'd suggest you pick up a copy & learn about the history behind those great constructions!
