Description
The Maya: A Very Short Introduction By Matthew Restall and Amara Solari The Maya civilization is one of the most fascinating in human history. Despite being divided into numerous ethnic groups speaking distinct languages, they achieved remarkable feats without a unified state or empire. From building spectacular cities to mastering the visual arts and developing a sophisticated writing system, the Maya left an enduring legacy. This book explores the themes of Mayan self-identity, polity, and cosmovision, shedding light on what made their culture so unique and endlessly fascinating. With its concise and accessible approach, The Maya: A Very Short Introduction is an ideal introduction to this complex and captivating subject. The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press offers hundreds of titles in almost every subject area, providing the perfect starting point for anyone looking to explore a new topic quickly and easily.
