Cloth, 4to, 25 cm, xvi, 329 pp, ills, (some colour), maps. "When The World of the Ancient Maya was published in 1981 it immediately established itself as the best available guide to the rich and extraordinary Maya culture. Comprehensive, readable, concise, it was greeted as a wonderfully accomplished work. Now it is re-published with a completely revised text taking account of the mass of new information that recent research has made available. It also includes a wealth of new illustrations in colour and black - and - white. Henderson explores the ancient Maya from the earliest traces of settlement to the Spanish conquest of Central America in the sixteenth century. They were the only fully literate pre-columbian people in the Americas, and their texts are deciphered here to reconstruct their ways of life. Superb scientists, they developed highly sophisticated mathematics and an intricate and accurate calendar system. Theirs was one of the few complex societies to emerge in the tropical forest and adapt successfully to living there. Their architecture, sculpture and painting were compellingly beautiful. Henderson covers the full range of Maya culture, including religion and philosophy, and he also explores the interaction between different Maya societies, since they varied culturally according to their exact environment." - from the blurb.

In this work, the author explores the ancient Maya from the earliest traces of settlement to the Spanish conquest of Central America in the 16th century. He covers the full range of Maya culture, including religion and philosophy, and examines the interaction between different Maya societies. The author, John S. Henderson, has 25 seasons of experience focusing mainly in Mexico and Central America, and his most recent excavations have been the uncovering one of the earliest pottery-making villages in Mesoamerica along with evidence that shortly thereafter the area became part of Mesoamerica's first civilization, the Olmec. The World of the Ancient Maya is considered by many to be the best introduction to ancient Maya civilization currently available and, according to the author, "it is a survey of the Maya cultural tradition: an introduction to the societies that make it up and an exploration of their contrasts, connections, and linked historical development".
