"[T]he volume will appeal to a wide audience and represents an important contribution to Maya archaeology. . . . Highly recommended." -- E.R. Swenson, CHOICE "[T]his book is a strong contribution to Maya archaeology because it challenges reductionist interpretations and celebrates the complexity of the past. Moreover, the volume is a necessary academic response to the public and scholarly fascination with the issue of Maya droughts that has taken hold over the last two decades." -- Thomas G. Garrison, Latin American Antiquity "This volume offers a vital multidisciplinary pespective that will help scholars of future generations to understand the diversity in historical trajectories and social responses to severe drought across time and space in the Maya lowlands." --Julie A. Hoggarth, Journal of Anthropological Research "This excellent 15-chapter edited volume is not just for Mayanists, because it shows that the impacts of a changing climate are multidimensional and complex." --Lisa J.

Synopsis
In The Great Maya Droughts in Cultural Context, contributors reject the popularized link between societal collapse and drought in Maya civilization, arguing that a series of periodic "collapses," including the infamous Terminal Classic collapse (AD 750-1050), were not caused solely by climate change-related droughts but by a combination of other social, political, and environmental factors. New and senior scholars of archaeology and environmental science explore the timing and intensity of droughts and provide a nuanced understanding of socio-ecological dynamics, with specific reference to what makes communities resilient or vulnerable when faced with environmental change.Contributors recognize the existence of four droughts that correlate with periods of demographic and political decline and identify a variety of concurrent political and social issues. They argue that these primary underlying factors were exacerbated by drought conditions and ultimately led to societal transitions that were by no means uniform across various sites and subregions. They also deconstruct the concept of "collapse" itself--although the line of Maya kings ended with the Terminal Classic collapse, the Maya people and their civilization survived. The Great Maya Droughts in Cultural Context offers new insights into the complicated series of events that impacted the decline of Maya civilization. This significant contribution to our increasingly comprehensive understanding of ancient Maya culture will be of interest to students and scholars of archaeology, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies.

I selected the purchase based on the specificity of the description, which addressed the appearance and (lack of) smell of the item—normally sellers don’t mention smell, but it is very important for purchasing very old books, so I appreciated that the seller specifically stated the book had a clean smell (and that the description was accurate). The item was carefully packaged and shipping was fast. Thank you!An Encyclopedia of Fairies: Hobgoblins, Brownies, Bogies,etc. First U.S. ed.1977 (#133966688118)
