[T]he volume will appeal to a wide audience and represents an important contribution to Maya archaeology. . . . Highly recommended. --E.R. Swenson, CHOICE [T]his book is a strong contribution to Maya archaeology because it challenges reductionist interpretations and celebrates the complexity of the past.
