Mary Ellen Miller evocatively surveys the artistic achievements of the<br />high pre-Columbian civilizations—Olmec, Maya, Teotihuacan, Toltec,<br />Aztec—as well as those of their less-well-known contemporaries. Their<br />pyramids and palaces, jades and brightly colored paintings emerge from<br />these pages as vividly as when they first astonished Cortes’s men in 1519.<br />The fifth edition of this standard work incorporates new color images<br />and extensive updates based on the latest research and discoveries. The<br />revisions include a rewritten and extended chapter on Teotihuacan; up-todate<br />analysis of the links between the Olmecs and the Maya; a discussion<br />of new discoveries at the heart of the Aztec capital that continue to<br />astound students of Mexico; and much more.
