[Aztlan] Request for Maya book recommendation

[Lorna Huff]

Here are a few very worthwhile and engaging reads, though they’re not 
recent:


Schele, Linda, & Freidel, David  1990   A Forest of Kings, The Untold Story 
of the Ancient Maya; William Morrow and Company, Inc.
-- classic prerequisite

Freidel, David, Schele, Linda, &  Parker, Joy  1993  Maya Cosmos, Three 
Thousand Years on the Shaman’s Path ; 2001 Perennial Press
-- emphasizes connections between ancient and living

Drew, David, 1999  The Lost Chronicles of the Maya Kings ; Paperback edition 
2000, Phoenix - Harper Collins Publishers
– - good portable overview of past to present.
