Reviews of the Second Edition:
"An impressive work that fills an important niche in
the literature. The book is well done, covering the most important topics
for this subject." —Gary Feinman,
Field Museum of Natural
History
"Lavish illustrations and tables, charts, graphic
recreations, and extended photo captions . . . make this book most useful
for students who may not have a lot of background knowledge." —Phil Wanyerka,
Cleveland State University
From the reviews of the First Edition:
"The best single-volume treatment of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica in existence. It is the standard by which such works will be
measured for many years to come. Susan Evans does a marvelous job of weaving culture, history, evolution, and cultural
process into a well-told, seamless history."
—Richard Diehl,
University of Alabama
"A monumental survey of the prehistoric cultures of Mesoamerica . . . a pleasure to read and easy to understand."
—American Archaeology
"The most comprehensive, up-to-date overview of ancient Mesoamerica available . . . will be widely consulted by those seeking
an introduction to the long and rich history of prehispanic Mesoamerica and by scholars seeking a synthesis of current
research and discoveries." —Deborah Nichols,
Dartmouth College
"This book is superb, a
highly innovative and remarkable introduction to the study of ancient
Mesoamerica." —John M. D. Pohl,
Fowler
