Sobre este artículo
New York: Thames & Hudson, 1989. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 9x6x1. Everton, Macduff. First American edition. Minor tears to jacket edges, jacket faintly foxed. Top page ridge faintly foxed. 1989 Hard Cover. 224 pp. Includes 152 illustrations. Ancient Mexico was one of the great independent hearths of civilization. Out of a varied landscape grew some of the richest cultures of the early historic world - Olmec, Zapotec, Maya, Toltec, and Aztec. Standard histories tend to focus on the individual societies, but Jeremy Sabloff's popular study takes an original approach, emphasizing the unity of Mexican civilization. In a series of fascinating vignettes, Professor Sabloff describes what it would have been like to have lived during the heyday of Mexico's greatest cities. Through the eyes of astronomers and ballplayers, merchants and priests, we see the temples, palaces, and tombs of a civilization obsessed with ritual and death. But who built these cities and how do we know
