Michael Coe tells the story of the Maya civilisation in his usual vivid and captivating style. Latest notes from the excavations in Nakbe, Guatemala bring this account pretty up-to-date. Shorter and less comprehensive than "The Ancient Maya" by R. Sharer, but this is a much quicker read. Great for anyone interested in finding out the basic facts about the Maya of Central America.

This book contains a condensed history of an ancient civilisation, which we know so little about. However, the author has managed to collate scattered pieces of information into a very readable yet pertinent book. If you are planning a trip down to Mexico or Guatemala to see the pyramids, I'd suggest you pick up a copy and learn about the history behind those great constructions!
