From the deserts of the far north to the tropical Caribbean beaches, from untamed jungle to sophisticated cities, this jam-packed book steers visitors through the diverse regions and endless archaeological attractions of this multifaceted country. The book is divided into chapters that discuss the individual regions-Chiapas, Campeche, Yucatàn-and their archaeological sites. Among the featured sites are Templo Mayor, the ancient hub of the Aztec empire located in Mexico City, and the Mayan pyramids that comprise Coba, deep in the Yucatàn jungle. The insightful text and captions are accompanied by hundreds of photographs, drawings, and dozens of painstakingly rendered maps and floor plans. This volume is a source of valuable information for anyone intending to visit the main archaeological sites; it is also a fascinating introduction to the cultural and artistic universe of pre-Columbian Central America.

Mexico is one of the most extraordinary countries in the world, a land that has seen the longest-lasting and enigmatic civilizations of the new world be born and die, the place where history and nature are wonderfully enjoined offers itself unveiled to the gaze of the reader. Mexico, the great core-nation of Latin-ness in Central America and heir to ancient cultural traditions thousands of years old, features landscapes and moments of poignant beauty: wind-carved sierras, the transparent water of the Gulf of California and the Gulf of Mexico, and golden sands dominated by precipitous rock walls. Then, there are the chaotic streets of its immense capital, the flat roofs of the highland villages, deserts and sierras, cactus forests, charming, thousand-year-old archaeological sites, stepped pyramids and baroque palaces, and Indians and Hidalgos. It is a huge territory, almost 800,000 square miles big, in which peoples and ethnic groups that have changed history have followed one after the other: Olmecs, Toltecs, Mayans, Aztecs, Spanish conquistadors...Handy and complete, this book is the newest in the "Places and History" series that is in full colour.

History & Criticism

This volume describes the pre-Columbian cultures that developed in central and northern Mexico, from the fertile areas of the Oaxaca Valley and the Valley of Mexico to the great deserts of the north. In chronological order, the text presents the native cultures, from the earliest farming villages to the establishment of great states and urban civilizations such as Teotihuacan and Monte Alban. The enormous ethnic and linguistic melting pot culminated in the Aztec civilizations; this profusely illustrated book examines its historical events, moving from the mythical original migration into the Valley of Mexico to the political and cultural zenith. In-depth looks at specific topics such as the Aztec calendar, religion, society and political organization are inserted into the historical narration, adding variety to the book's chronological approach. Based on the latest research and targeting a broad readership, this book is straightforward and easy to understand, yet is distinguished by its excellent scholarship. The result is an extraordinary historical and cultural tableau that conveys the full appeal these populations have long held for Western readers.
