COE, MICHAEL D. & KOONTZ, REX. Mexico: From The Olmecs To The Aztecs.
Thames and Hudson, London: 2009. Sixth Edition. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Michael D. Coe's Mexico has long been recognized as the most readable and authoritative introduction to the region's ancient civilizations. This companion to his best-selling The Maya has now been completely revised by Professor Coe and Rex Koontz. The sixth edition includes: ¥ New developments in the birth of agriculture and writing, both of which were independently invented here ¥ Fresh insights into the metropolis of Teotihuacan reveal a world of palaces and warrior cults brought down by social revolts ¥ A spectacular new find in the centre of the Aztec capital, just unearthed, gives a privileged glimpse into the funerary rites of the most powerful monarch in North America at the time. Michael D. Coe is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Yale University. Rex Koontz teaches art history at the University of Houston and has written widely on ancient Mexican art, architecture and aesthetics.
