This is an extensively illustrated account of the development of the civilizations that emerged in Central America between the second millennium BC and the 16th century AD, including the Olmecs, the Maya, the Toltecs and the Aztecs, as well as others less well known, which gave rise to the Mesoamerican civilization. Producing highly original forms of art and architecture they also excelled in mathematics and astronomy before the destruction of Mesoamerica by the Conquistadors. Impressive architectural complexes, monumental sculptures, ceramics, jewellery and remarkable written records that have only recently given up their secrets have been left as extraordinary evidence of these civilizations.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 292 pages. bottom of front dj starting to peelSupremely glossy representation in pictures of the rich and dramatic remains of ancient Mexico. The commentary is basic but sensible and divided into chapter s on the history of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, daily life, art and religion, and archaeological itineraries. This book is all about the images, however, and con tains some colourful reconstructions of temple complexes - including a rather ni ce fold out one of Teotihuacan - striking photographs of masks, jewels, painting s and sculpture, and of course, the architecture and its spectacular backdrop.
