Arthur Demarest brings the lost civilization of Maya to life by applying a holistic view to the most recently discovered archaeological evidence.
His theoretical interpretation simultaneously emphasizes the brilliant rainforest adaptations of the ancient Maya and the Native American spirituality that permeated all aspects of their daily life.
Drawing on data from the latest significant archaeological research in Central America, this new study appeals to those interested in the ecological bases of civilization, the function of the state, and the causes of the collapse of civilizations.
