This sixth edition of Michael D. Coe's Mexico 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. A spectacular new find in the centre of the Aztec capital, just unearthed, gives a privileged glimpse into the funerary rites of the most powerful monarch in North America at the time.--From publisher description.
