[Ancient Maya Civilization]
An Eyewitness series book on the three major ancient Mesoamerican civilizations. Organized topically, by subject such as food & drink, traditions, cities... it provides an interesting and colorful potpourri of good pictures and bits of information on the different civilizations and life in them. I find it a fun introductory read, but difficult for making distinctions between and an overview of the individual civilizations. The book has been reprinted with several different covers than contain the same content.
