BOOK CONDITION: near fine. The text block and illustrations are in fine condition with no tears, marks, or dog ears.

The unclipped dust jacket is in very good condition (tiny amount of edge crinkling). 11 x 7 ½, 570 pages, 57 ounces XX THIS IS THE FIRST of the eleven volumes of the monumental Handbook of Middle American Indians, a definitive encyclopedia of the environment, archaeology, ethnology, social anthropology, ethnohistory, linguistics, and physical anthropology of the native peoples of Mexico and Central America. The Handbook is being assembled at the Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University with the aid of grants from the National Science Foundation. Included in this first volume are chapters written by leading authorities in various fields of the natural and social sciences that are concerned with the natural environment of Middle America, its role in the shaping of Indian cultures, the earliest primitive hunters of this area, the beginnings of agriculture, and the broad patterns of prehistoric civilizations there. This volume of the Handbook was edited by Dr. Robert C. West, professor of geography at Louisiana State University, an outstanding authority on Latin America. He was formerly cultural geographer for Smithsonian Institution, and is the author of several books and monographs and many articles in this field. There are articles on the geohistory and paleogeography of Middle America, its surface configuration and associated geology, hydrography, the American Mediterranean, oceanography and marine life along the Pacific coast, weather and climate, natural vegetation, the soils and their relation to the Indian peoples and cultures, fauna, the natural regions of Middle America, the primitive hunters, the food-gathering and incipient agricultural stage of prehistoric Middle America, origins of agriculture there, and the patterns of farming life and civilization. Like their famous predecessors, the Handbook of North American Indians and the Handbook of South American Indians, the present volume and the others in the series, which will appear in the future, are designed to serve professional scholars, students, and interested laymen. Volume 1 is profusely illustrated throughout. The general editor of the Handbook of Middle American Indians is Dr. Robert Wauchope, director of the Middle American Institute and professor of anthropology at Tulane University. He is a former president of the Society for American Archaeology, author of several books and many articles on archaeology, and ethnography, and editor of the Institute's long series of publications on Middle America.…
