Mexico by Rex Koontz
Michael Coe’s Mexico, long recognized as the most readable and authoritative introduction to the region’s ancient civilizations, has now been completely revised by Professor Coe and Rex Koontz. This 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, while a spectacular new find in the centre of the Aztec capital gives a privileged glimpse into the funerary rites of the most powerful monarch in North America at the time.
MICHAEL D. COE is Charles J. MacCurdy Professor of Anthropology, Emeritus, at Yale University. He was for many years Chairman of the Council on Archaeological Studies at Yale. Renowned in the field of Mayan anthropology and archaeology, Coe has written over a dozen books on Mesoamerican archaeology and culture. His most recent book is Angkor and the Khymer Civilization (2005).
