Haunting. ( )

An excellent introduction to Meso American archaeology. ( )

more interesting than i thought it would be. ( )

A fairly good summary of the pre-Columbian civilizations in the Western hemisphere. However, if you want to discover the Incas and Aztecs, I suggest you read William Prescott's seminal works. ( )

This series is a well-done Time-Life compendium of factual and illustrated material about various great ages of man, this volume covering ancient America (1000 B.C. to 1600). Too slim to be exhaustive, but the books are well-done and interesting,and the 1967 publishing date is not such a detriment to a history book. ( )
