Product Description

Synopsis

William Ferguson's classic photographic portrayal of the major pre-Columbian ruins of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras is now available in a completely revised edition. Magnificent aerial and ground photographs give both armchair and actual visitors unparalleled views of fifty-one ancient cities. The restored areas of each site and their interesting and exotic features are shown within each group of ruins. The authors have thoroughly revised the text for this new edition, and they have added over 30 new photographs and illustrations as well as a completely new chapter by R E W Adams on regional states and empires in ancient Mesoamerica.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not terrific, 12 April 2006
By R. LaMee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mesoamerica's Ancient Cities: Aerial Views of Pre-Columbian Ruins in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras (Paperback)
Good points:
- Lot's of color photographs showing not just architecture, but art as well.
- Many different sites presented.
- Enough text (about 10-15%), but not too much.

Disappointments:
- Thoroughness is sacrificed in favor of including more sites - I would prefer more pictures of each site.
- Pictures quality is only fair to good. I was very disappointed that colors are washed out (low color saturation) even though the book is printed on heavy matte stock.
- A majority of the pictures are not aerial, though that doesn't detract much for me.
- Only recent photos - would have liked to have seen early photos of sites prior to excavation.
- Some pictures are mislabeled.

Overall, worth checking out of the library or buying used, but probably not worth purchasing new.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mesoamerica's Ancient Cities, 13 Jan 2009
By James G. Ishmael "Jerry" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mesoamerica's Ancient Cities: Aerial Views of Pre-Columbian Ruins in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras (Paperback)
The information in this book should give cause to rethink America's ancient past. This book has many fine pictures. Great for anybody interested in Ancient Cities of the New World.
